Abstract:
A method (700) of displaying a plurality of images is disclosed. The method (700) displays the images in a stack arrangement. The stack may be a perspective stack and a non-perspective stack. Another method (1200) of displaying a plurality of images is also disclosed. The method (1200) displays the images in a stack following any arbitrary path. The methods (700) and (1200) are particularly advantageous for displaying a collection of images of irregular sizes and aspect ratios. The methods (700) and (1200) maintain the regular geometric layout of a stack of images and also ensure that the size of the minimum visible area of each image in the stack remains the same irrespective of the aspect ratio of a particular image.
