| 1. A method for storing an image file, the method comprising:
determining a coordinate system for use with a display area of the screen;
retrieving, by a processor, the image file for display of an image on the screen to provide for display, by a processor, a

area and a second portion being out of the display area, the first position corresponding to a first reference point within
the coordinate system;
moving the image to provide for display, by a processor, a second position of the image, the second position corresponding
to the image having a third portion displayed within the display area and a fourth portion being out of the display area,
the displaying of the image within the display area and the image file unaltered between the first position and the second
position;
identifying coordinates of a second reference point within the coordinate system;
storing, in a storage device, the coordinates of the second reference point with the image file; and
subsequently retrieving and displaying, by a processor, the image in the second position based on the stored coordinates of
the second reference point.
