Methods, systems, and computer program products for presenting a plurality
of options for selection. Each option is organized into either a category
or a sub-category that is associated with a category. The association
between categories and sub-categories is independent of time. Categories
are displayed along one axis and sub-categories are displayed
simultaneously along another orthogonal axis. The axis chosen for
categories may depend on the direction that text associated with the
categories is written. Categories and sub-categories are available for
immediate selection, without first having to highlight or select any
option. To account for a large number of options, categories and
sub-categories may scroll as needed. The appearance of categories and
sub-categories may be distinguished in some way, such as through colors,
fonts, or borders.
