Abstract: A lasso select tool that allows a user to draw a flexible line of selection ink in order to select one
or more graphical objects for manipulation. As the user draws this selection line, the lasso select
tool continuously redraws and displays a connection line connecting one end of the selection line
with the opposite end of the selection line. This connection line thus graphically demonstrates to
the user the area that is presently encompassed by the resulting lasso enclosure. Further, the lasso
select tool will change the appearance of any object selected with the lasso enclosure. The lasso
select tool also selects objects that are only substantially encompassed by the lasso enclosure.
For example, the lasso select tool may select ink objects that are only 60% or more encompassed
by the lasso enclosure.

Abstract: A microwave oven wherein at least a microwave cooking mode and an electric
resistance heater cooking mode can be selected by a user. A tray (12) for
supporting foodstuff can be raised and lowered and rotated about a vertical axis. A
weight measuring mechanism (45) determines the weight of foodstuff on the tray.

foodstuff is measured. A controller determines a desired cooking elevation as a
function of the cooking mode and weight of the foodstuff. A rotation mechanism
(42, 42a, 42b) begins to rotate the tray, and then the rotating tray is raised to the
desired elevation, whereupon a cooking operation is performed while the tray is
rotated at the desired elevation. At the end of the cooking operation, the tray is
