1. In a computer system having an operating system operative to display computer application data in a window on a display monitor, said windows having sides defining an enclosed area for presenting said data on said display monitor, said computer system characterized by resources including a central processing unit (CPU), a memory, and display monitor said resources communicating via a system bus, said CPU operative to control processes for defining the size and shape of displayed windows, a method for resizing sides defining the area of the window, comprising: defining an isometric work space on said display screen; displaying a window of information in said isometric work space on said display screen, said window having a first geometrical shape; providing a first transformation control in said isometric work space, for said display system, for transforming said window of said operating system to a second geometrical shape in said isometric work space; and upon selection of said first transformation control, transforming said window to said second geometrical shape in said isometric work space, said CPU and said control processes in response to said selection of said first transformation control being capable of performing a three-dimensional transformation of said first geometrical shape to produce said second geometrical shape.
