An outwardly expandable radial menu, such as a plus-shaped menu, may be
launched in a user interface screen and may include a center option and
up to four other options arranged to the left, right, upward, and
downward relative to the center option. The position of each of the
options may be associated with certain option categories. A traditional
selectable menu, such as drop down menu, may be appended to the
plus-shaped menu. A determination may be made regarding whether a portion
of the plus-shaped menu will exceed a display boundary of the user
interface screen. A placeholder may be displayed in place of the portion
that is determined to exceed the display boundary. In response to user
navigation to the placeholder, the plus-shaped menu may be shifted so
that the portion replaced by the placeholder may be displayed.
