I'm not sure if you are aware of these tools, or if they
will satisfy your needs (which as stated are slightly
different than what can be done).
If you go to the <IMAGE>->View menu, you can activate
display of "rulers" and "scrollbars". Together those
allow grossly positioning an image within the window,
but it is not very precise. If the scrollbars are
displayed, at the lower right corner there will be a
"move" icon, and clicking on that allows moving the
image within the display window (again, with very course
granularity).
Also you can activate the "Navigation Window" from the
same menu, and with that you can change both the zoom
and the location of the ****tion displayed. When the
zoom is such that only part of the image is displayed, a
rectangle is placed on the image in the Navigation
Window to indicate the area displayed in the Image
Window, and you can click and drag on that rectangle to
move the display. Again though, it is not as precise as
what you've indicated and it would be exceedingly
difficult to center a given pixel location with an
precision at all.
