Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer-readable recording medium

An information processing apparatus includes a display controller that enlarges or reduces an image within a second area specified in a first area of an image including at least one object at such a display magnification that the image within the second area fits in the size of a display area, thereby displaying the resultant image in the display area, a position storage that stores a position on the image within the second area, and a converter that converts the size of the second area within the first area. When the display magnification is equal to or greater than a threshold, the display controller displays a first symbol at the position in the display area and, when the display magnification is less than the threshold, the display controller erases the first symbol and displays at the position a second symbol for indicating the position in the display area.
