Claim:
A method of an electronic device, the method comprising: storing an association between each of a plurality of multi-touch motions and each of a plurality of geometric shapes available to be displayed on a display of the electronic device; detecting a first multi-touch motion of a multi-touch gesture applied to a touch-sensitive surface, wherein the first multi-touch motion is associated with each of a plurality of geometric shapes, the plurality of geometric shapes including some, but not all, of the plurality of geometric shapes available to be displayed; detecting a second multi-touch motion of the multi-touch gesture, the second multi-touch motion following the first multi-touch motion without intervening multi-touch motions; automatically selecting, from only the plurality of geometric shapes associated with the first multi-touch motion, a geometric shape to be displayed based on the detected first and second multi-touch motions of the multi-touch gesture without further user selection; and displaying the selected geometric shape on the display.
