A method begins by a computing device obtaining a visual file for display, determining to display the visual file in an expanded manner and determining a number of monitors associated with the computing device. The method continues by determining a display window space that extends beyond a display area of at least one monitor. The method continues by determining a first display region of the display window space attributed to the number of monitors within and determining a second display region of the display window space that is outside of the first display region. The method continues by mapping a first and section portion of the visual file to the first and second display regions to produce a first and second visual mapping. The method continues by rendering at least a portion of the visual file onto the display window space in accordance with the first and second visual mappings.
