Abstract
To enable a necessary image data to be easily found out based on image sizes of a plurality of index images displayed in a list format and to enable contents of original images displayed as index images to be easily understood, in the case of generating an index image of an image data having an original image size larger than a standard size, a rate of reduction to the original image is increased so that the entire index image is accommodated in an index image display area while maintaining a relative dimensional relationship with index image sizes of image data having other original image sizes.
Claims8
An image displaying apparatus, comprising:
- an image data reader which reads image data stored in a storage medium;
- an index image size storage which stores index image sizes predetermined in correspondence with original image sizes of the image data;
- an index image generator which generates index images of index image sizes corresponding to the original image sizes using the and image data;
- and
- an index image displaying device which displays the generated index images on a monitor screen,
- wherein the index image sizes corresponding to the original image sizes larger than a standard size are stored with larger rates of reduction to the original image sizes in the index image size storage, so that at least one page of the index image is entirely displayed while maintaining a relative dimensional relationship with the index image sizes corresponding to the other original image sizes.
A computer readable medium including an executable program product for configuring a computer for displaying an image on a monitor screen, the executable program product configuring the computer to function as a device comprising:
- an image data reading means for reading image data stored in a storage medium;
- an index image size storage for storing index image sizes predetermined in correspondence with original image sizes of the image data;
- an index image generating means for generating index images of index image sizes corresponding to the original image sizes using the read image data;
- and
- an index image displaying means for displaying the generated index images on a monitor screen;
- and
- wherein the index image sizes corresponding to the original image sizes larger than a standard size are stored with larger rates of reduction to the original image sizes in the index image size storage, so that at least one page of the index image is entirely displayed while maintaining a relative dimensional relationship with the index image sizes corresponding to the other original image sizes.
