1. An input device comprising:
- a display unit that displays images on a screen;
a position input unit that receives the designation of in-plane positions with respect to said screen and supplies, as output, position signals that indicate the in-plane positions that were designated; and
a control unit that, when a plurality of in-plane positions have been designated, based on said position signals, specifies each in-plane position and both displays a plurality of images at respective said in-plane positions and controls the size of display of each image according to the spacing of each of said in-plane positions.
