The display of images collectively represented by a graphical object, referred to as an anchor, is controlled on a screen via input means. As the user manipulates the anchor on the screen, the display of images is modified in correspondence with the object manipulation. The images are subjected to various functions as a group: for example, in response to a movement of the anchor on the screen, the images are also moved while being completely hidden from view. Other functions include fully displaying, sorting and re-arranging the group configuration of the images. To carry out these functions, menu items zoom into view on the screen in response to an anchor manipulation by the user.
