ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for changing the relative size of an image in a display that includes one or more edges that define a display area in which at least a portion of the image is displayed. The methods and apparatus provide for a zoom point, which corresponds to a point in the displayed image that is to be zoomed in the displayed image, to be selected. The relative size of the selected zoom point may then be changed while the selected zoom point is translated along a substantially straight zoom line that passes through the selected zoom point and extends between a central point in the display area and an edge point on the display area that is closest to the selected zoom point.
