Abstract

An image display control apparatus includes a division unit and a display controller. The division unit divides a rectangular display area into plural rectangular sub-areas in a direction in which one side of the display area extends. The display controller performs display control to enlarge or reduce rectangular images so that while aspect ratios of the images are maintained, a length of each of the sub-areas in the direction in which the one side of the display area extends is equal to or substantially equal to a length of each of the images in the direction in which the one side of the display area extends, and to display at least some of the enlarged or reduced images in the sub-areas.

Claims14

Dependent claims

An image display control apparatus comprising:

a memory comprising computer executable instructions;
and
at least one processor configured to execute the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions causing the at least one processor to:
divide a display area into a plurality of divided areas;
enlarge or reduce images, while maintaining aspect ratios of the images, such that, for each image, a length of the image in a first direction is substantially equal to a length, in the first direction, of a respective one of the divided areas into which the image is to be displayed;
perform display control to display the images that have been enlarged or reduced in the respective divided areas;
detect a scroll direction in which a user instructs to scroll the displayed images;
and
for each divided area, perform control to:
when a free area within a divided area is present upstream of a displayed image in the scroll direction, to not scroll the displayed image but to scroll in the scroll direction images that are upstream of the free area in the divided area, and
when a free area within a divided area is not present upstream of a displayed image in the scroll direction, to scroll the displayed images in the divided area in the scroll direction within the divided area.
