Abstract

As the mouse pointer is moved over successive portions 11, 12, 13 of a control image 10 visible on a computer interface, the position of the pointer 35 on a portion 21, 22, 23 of an associated mask image 20, hidden beneath the control image, is detected. Control information is determined from the mask, by querying a property of the portion of the mask image over which the pointer is positioned for example, and in accordance with the control information, actions on the interface, such as highlighting a portion of the control image, are performed.
