Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for interactively controlling the display of an image on a monitor screen has the image stored in digital data form defining the color content of pixels of the image. The method includes displaying a representation of the image of the monitor screen; selecting a first point on the image and a first point on the monitor screen at which the first image point is to be located; selecting with a cursor a second point on the image; moving the cursor relative to the monitor screen; and, during the cursor movement, repeatedly adjusting the representation of the image displayed according to one or more predetermined algorithms so that the second image point remains coincident with the cursor position while the first image point is fixed at the first screen point.
