Zusammenfassung:Described is a system and a computer program product for visually delineating a relationship between diverse, but related graphical objects in a graphical user interface. An icon that has specified color scheme is associated with the diverse, but related but graphical objects. When one of the related graphical objects is displayed, the icon is displayed within the displayed graphical object.

In a particular instance, the icon is displayed with each graphical object in a series of graphical objects that represent an evolution of progression of development.
