resizing in a first manner, in response to determining the first flexing and in response to determining the second flexing within the defined time period after determining the first flexing, a portion of the initial presentation to create a modified display, wherein the modified display comprises a resized representation of the portion of the initial presentation, wherein the portion of the initial presentation is adjacent to and removed from the location.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the first flexing and the second flexing comprises a convex flexing, and wherein the resizing comprises magnifying the portion in response to the convex flexing.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

presenting, after the resizing and after the determination of the return of the flexible display to the unflexed configuration, the modified display;

detecting, after presenting the modified display, a reset flexing of the flexible display; and

displaying the initial presentation in its original size in response to detecting the reset flexing.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising resizing the initial presentation of the image in a second manner in response to the first flexing when a double flexing is not detected within the defined time period, the first manner being different than the second manner.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving a scrolling command; and

scrolling the initial presentation across the flexible display in response to receiving the scrolling command in order to create a presentation of a scrolled image on the flexible display,

wherein the at least a portion of the initial presentation comprises a portion of the scrolled image located in proximity to a location of one of the first flexing and the second flexing.

12. A computer program product for receiving commands from a flexible display system, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising instructions for:

providing an initial presentation of an image on the flexible display;

determining a first flexing at a location of the flexible display away from an unflexed configuration;

determining, within a defined time period after determining the first flexing, a return of the flexible display to the unflexed configuration;

determining, within the defined time period after determining the first flexing and after determining the return, a second flexing at the location of the flexible display away from the unflexed configuration, the first flexing being separate from the second flexing; and

resizing in a first manner, in response to determining the first flexing and in response to determining the second flexing within the defined time period after determining the first flexing, a portion of the initial presentation to create a modified display, wherein the modified display comprises a resized representation of the portion of the initial presentation, wherein the portion of the initial presentation is adjacent to and removed from the location.

13. The computer program product of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first flexing and the second flexing comprises a convex flexing, and wherein the resizing comprises magnifying the portion in response to the convex flexing.

14. The computer program product of claim 12 , the computer readable program code further comprising instructions for:

presenting, after the resizing and after determining the return of the flexible display to the unflexed configuration, the modified display;

detecting, after presenting the modified display, a reset flexing of the flexible display; and

displaying the initial presentation in its original size in response to detecting the reset flexing.

15.
