Sounds to me that you want a navigation window for a chosen image.  
Gimp imaging program has such a window.  Check out how gimp works 
with multiple images.

You might want to work with a toolbar that opens a navigation window 
for each image.

For an explanation on how scrolling works check out a book by O'Reilly 
written by Mark Lutz, Programming Python, look up programming 
scrollbars.
