编辑图形文档时，通常会同时对多个项目应用更改，并且存在多种用于选择项目集的工具。然而，直接选择大集合有时会很麻烦且重复。我们提出了一种通过扩展当前所选项目集来帮助用户重用复杂选择的方法。我们分析文档的操作历史记录，以确定哪些项目经常被一起编辑。当用户请求时，可以将之前使用当前选择编辑过的项目添加到其中。然后可以像任何其他选择一样操作新的选择。这种方法不需要文档的语义模型或项目之间的关系。相反，每次扩展都是基于用户迄今为止创建文档所做的操作。我们在矢量图形编辑的背景下演示了这种方法。试点研究的结果令人鼓舞。通过重复使用具有预先存在的历史记录的选择，用户可以更有效地使用我们的 QuickSelect 工具编辑任务。自由绘图环境中的可用性研究的主观偏好表明，选择扩展很容易让用户学习和应用。
When editing a graphical document, it is common to apply a change to multiple items at once, and a variety of tools exist for selecting sets of items. However, directly selecting large sets can sometimes be cumbersome and repetitive. We propose a method for helping users reuse complex selections by expanding the set of currently selected items. We analyze a document's operation history to determine which items have been frequently edited together. When the user requests it, items that have been previously edited with the current selection can be added to it. The new selection can then be manipulated like any other selection. This approach does not require a semantic model of the document or relations between items. Rather, each expansion is based on what the user has done so far to create the document. We demonstrate this approach in the context of vector graphics editing. Results from a pilot study were encouraging. Reusing selections with pre-existing histories, users were more efficient at editing tasks with our QuickSelect tool. Subjective preferences from a usability study in a free drawing context indicate that selection expansion is easy for users to learn and to apply.
