Abstract
A method and associated system for modifying an image on a display screen. A first point and a second point in the image are received from a first interaction and a second interaction, respectively, between a user and the display screen. It is ascertained that a first line and a second line in the image respectively pass through the first point and the second point in the image. The first line and the second line divide the image into a first area, a second area, and a strip area between the first area and the second area. Hiding a portion of the strip area is performed by either removing the visibility of the strip area from the display screen or displaying the portion of the strip area on the display screen in lower resolution than before the hiding is performed.
