Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a display controller. The display controller displays an operable image if a predetermined first operation is performed on a margin of a screen displayed in a display area displaying a portion of a display target, and if it is determined that the operable image included in the display target that appears or disappears in accordance with a second operation of moving the screen is not displayed on the screen on the basis of a relationship between a distance to a position of the image in the display target including the screen, an operation amount of the second operation, and a size of the display area.

Claims

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:

a display controller that displays an operable image if a predetermined first operation is performed on a margin of a screen displayed in a display area displaying a portion of a display target, and if it is determined that the operable image included in the display target that appears or disappears in accordance with a second operation of moving the screen is not displayed on the screen on the basis of a relationship between a distance to a position of the image in the display target including the screen, an operation amount of the second operation, and a size of the display area.

2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a determining unit that determines whether or not the operable image is displayed on the screen on the basis of the relationship between the distance to the position of the operable image, the operation amount of the second operation, and the size of the display area,

wherein if the distance to the position is greater than the sum of the operation amount and the size, the determining unit determines that the image is not displayed.

3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the operable image is located in an end portion of the display target.

4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a generating unit that generates another display area different from the display area if it is determined that the operable image is not displayed,

wherein the display controller displays the operable image in the another display area generated by the generating unit.

5. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display controller displays the operable image near a location in which the first operation has been performed.

6. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display controller folds the display target to fit in the display area.

7. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein if the first operation is performed when the operable image located in one end portion of the display target is displayed in the screen, the display controller displays a screen of an other end portion of the display target in the display area.

8. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1, wherein if the first operation is performed after an item displayed in the screen is changed, the display controller displays the changed item together with the operable image.

9. An information processor comprising:

a display controller that displays an operable image if a predetermined first operation is performed on a margin of a screen displayed in a display area displaying a portion of a display target, and if it is determined that the operable image included in the display target that appears or disappears in accordance with a second operation of moving the screen is not displayed on the screen on the basis of a relationship between a distance to a position of the image in the display target including the screen, an operation amount of the second operation, and a size of the display area.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for image formation, the process comprising:

displaying an operable image if a predetermined first operation is performed on a margin of a screen displayed in a display area displaying a portion of a display target, and if it is determined that the operable image included in the display target that appears or disappears in accordance with a second operation of moving the screen is not displayed on the screen on the basis of a relationship between a distance to a position of the image in the display target including the screen, an operation amount of the second operation, and a size of the display area.

11. An image forming method comprising:

displaying an operable image if a predetermined first operation is performed on a margin of a screen displayed in a display area displaying a portion of a display target, and if it is determined that the operable image included in the display target that appears or disappears in accordance with a second operation of moving the screen is not displayed on the screen on the basis of a relationship between a distance to a position of the image in the display target including the screen, an operation amount of the second operation, and a size of the display area.
