Abstract:
A storage medium storing a display control program for controlling displaying of display data passed from an application program running on a computer,wherein said display control program is read and executed by said computer to build the following means on said computer: first means for receiving an assignment of a deformation ratio of an image represented by said display data from a manipulator via a manipulation device; and second means for processing said display data in accordance with the deformation ratio assigned by said first means and for displaying the display data onto a display screen of said display device; wherein said first means receives an assignment of the deformation ratio relating to a ratio of the lengths of right/left sides of the image represented by said display data and a magnification of the lengths of upper/lower sides of the image, or relating to a ratio of the lengths of the upper/lower sides of the image and a magnification of the lengths of the right/left sides of the image, as the assignment of the deformation ratio of the image represented by said display data, and said second means treats said display data as texture data, deforms the ratio of the lengths of right/left sides of the image represented by the display data and the magnification of the lengths of upper/lower sides of the image, or deforms the ratio of the lengths of the upper/lower sides of the image and the magnification of the lengths of the right/left sides of the image, in accordance with the deformation ratio assigned by said first means, and displays the display data onto the display screen of said display device.
