Abstract
An image display apparatus includes a display unit for displaying an image, a detecting unit for detecting a position designated by an operation of designating a position on the displayed image and a file operation unit operating a file. The display unit displays images generated from a file on page-by-page basis on a partial area of the display unit. The file operating unit operates the file in accordance with the change of position detected by the detecting unit, when, in a state in which no position has been detected by the detecting unit, a designated position outside of the prescribed partial area is first detected by the detecting unit and the designated position changes while the position designating operation is maintained and then no position is detected by the detecting unit. Thus, the user can easily and intuitively operate the displayed page image or the file.
