XMAG(1) MachTen Programmer’s Manual XMAG(1)

NAME
xmag - magnify parts of the screen

SYNOPSIS
xmag [ -mag magfactor ] [ -source geom ] [ -toolkitoption
... ]

DESCRIPTION
The xmag program allows you to magnify portions of an X
screen. If no explicit region is specified, a square with
the pointer in the upper left corner is displayed indicat-
ing the area to be enlarged. The area can be dragged out
to the desired size by pressing Button 2. Once a region
has been selected, a window is popped up showing a blown
up version of the region in which each pixel in the source
image is represented by a small square of the same color.
Pressing Button1 in the enlargement window shows the posi-
tion and RGB value of the pixel under the pointer until
the button is released. Typing ‘‘Q’’ or ‘‘^C’’ in the
enlargement window exits the program. The application has
5 buttons across its top. Close deletes this particular
magnification instance. Replace brings up the rubber band
selector again to select another region for this magnifi-
cation instance. New brings up the rubber band selector
to create a new magnification instance. Cut puts the mag-
nification image into the primary selection. Paste copies
the primary selection buffer into xmag. Note that you can
cut and paste between xmag and the bitmap program. Resiz-
ing xmag resizes the magnification area. xmag preserves
the colormap, visual, and window depth of the source.

WIDGETS
xmag uses the X Toolkit and the Athena Widget Set. The
magnified image is displayed in the Scale widget. For
more information, see the Athena Widget Set documentation.
