Information processing apparatus

An information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus that controls display of an image, comprising:

• drawing a line on an image in a drawing area displayed in a fixed mode, which displays an image by fixing a position of the image;
• judging whether a position of the line during drawing by way of the drawing is positioned on a boundary indicating the drawing area;
• switching from the fixed mode to a predetermined mode other than the fixed mode in a case in which the position during drawing is judged as being positioned on the boundary indicating the drawing area by way of the judging;
• and
• executing control to display the image based on the mode switched by way of the mode switching.

A non-transitory storage medium encoded with a computer-readable program that enables a computer of an information processing apparatus that controls display of an image to execute functions as:

• a drawing unit that draws a line on an image in a drawing area displayed in a fixed mode, which displays an image by fixing a position of the image;
• a judgment unit that judges whether a position of the line during drawing by the drawing unit is positioned on a boundary indicating the drawing area;
• a mode switching unit that switches from the fixed mode to a predetermined mode other than the fixed mode in a case in which the position during drawing is judged as being positioned on the boundary indicating the drawing area by the judgment unit;
• and
• a display control unit that executes control to display the image based on the mode switched by the mode switching unit.
