image map is extended from <0,0> to <1,1>

then if you create a box from <0.2,0.1> to <0.75,0.57> for exemple, the
image will be always centered as <0,0> to <1,1>


hence if you want an image map center then do always your object like this


method one

box {pt1, pt2
texture {
        pigment {
        image_map{myimage}
        translate -.5   // wil always centered you image to <0.5,0.5>
        scale myscale  //scale to an ppropriate scale
        translate pt3   //pt3 is the center of the face you want to texture}
should be (pt1+pt2)/2
    // note: that will translate you pigment ...not your object
}}}

or
box {  - corner , corner pigment {image_map {myimage}  translate -0.5 scale
myscale}   translate Point2  // will translate your object and as well you
pigment which as been applied on it}
