1. A command display method being a method of displaying a plurality of commands in a computer including a graphical user interface for displaying the plurality of commands in a window on a display screen, the plurality of commands having a plurality of layers, the command display method comprising:
detecting a vertical or horizontal size of the window;
determining, in response to the detected size, a form of a display of a menu from which a command in each of the plurality of layers is selected; and
controlling a display of the plurality of commands in each of the plurality of layers in response to the determined display form of the menu or an instruction from an operator such that
commands in a first layer among the plurality of layers are controlled to be displayed in a list in an area inside the window,
the first layer is a layer that is at a lower level among the plurality of layers than at least one layer whose display form of the menu changes, and
the list in the first layer is displayed before and after a change in the display form of the menu,
wherein in the determining of the form of the display of the menu,
when the detected size becomes smaller than a second value, for the at least one layer at a higher level than the first layer among the plurality of layers, the determined display form of the menu is obtained by changing a command of the plurality of commands in the at least one layer to a plurality of sub-commands subdivided from and associated to the command, and
when the detected size becomes larger than or equal to the second value, the determined display form of the menu is obtained by changing the plurality of sub-commands in the at least one layer back to the command.
