Electronic device, display method and program

A display method for an electronic device that includes a display unit, an operation unit and a storage unit, the method comprising the steps of:

• selecting at least a part of a first image, which is based on data displayed on the display unit as a result of processing by a first application, as a selected image by the operation unit;
• storing selected data as data of the selected image selected by the operation unit, and peripheral data as data of peripheral images existing around the selected image from among the first image, in the storage unit;
• reading the selected data stored in the storage unit so as to be developed in a second application different from the first application, and displaying the selected image, which is based on the selected data, on the display unit;
• and
• in a case in which an operation is performed by the operation unit for an area on a right or left side of the selected image developed in the second application and displayed on the display unit, reading the peripheral data from the storage unit, and displaying an image of at least a part of the peripheral images, around the selected image displayed on the display unit.

A non-transitory recording medium for storing a program executed by an electronic device that includes a display unit, an operation unit and a storage unit, the program executing the steps of:

• selecting at least a part of a first image, which is based on data displayed on the display unit as a result of processing by a first application, as a selected image by the operation unit;
• storing selected data as data of the selected image selected by the operation unit, and peripheral data as data of peripheral images existing around the selected image from among the first image, in the storage unit;
• reading the selected data stored in the storage unit so as to be developed in a second application different from the first application, and displaying the selected image, which is based on the selected data, on the display unit;
• and
• in a case in which an operation is performed by the operation unit for an area on a right or left side of the selected image developed in the second application and displayed on the display unit, reading the peripheral data from the storage unit, and displaying an image of at least a part of the peripheral images, around the selected image displayed on the display unit.
