ABSTRACT:
The method and system of the present invention permit the efficient management of the display of a panoramic or wide-angle image on a display device in a data processing system. The panoramic image typically includes a number of segments wherein only a portion of those segments may be displayed on the display device at selected resolutions. The method and system of the present invention includes displaying a substantially circular icon, having a defined periphery. Each portion of the defined periphery corresponds to one or more of the segments making up the panoramic image. A moveable control element is displayed along a selected arc about the periphery. One or more of the segments of the panoramic image corresponding to each portion of the defined periphery within the selected arc may then be selected and is displayed on the display device by manipulating the position of the moveable control element.
