[edit] Use When

  • The object being removed is in a list or grid.
  • It is important to know that the removal happened and where the obect was removed from the list or grid.
  • At the completion of a drop operation where the dropped object was moved from one place to another.
  • In conjunction with the object appearing somewhere else (usually with a fade-in).

[edit] Possible Solution

  • Make a hole for the removed object.
  • When the interaction completes the object below slides up to close up the hole.
  • See the Slide Pattern.

[edit] Rationale

  • The self healing transition communicates:
    • Where the object was removed from.
    • That the list no longer contains the object that was removed.
