NAME
     xmag - magnify parts of the screen

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/xmag [ -mag magfactor ] [ -source geom ] [ -toolki-
     toption ... ]

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 indicating
     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 position 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 magnification instance.  New  brings
     up  the  rubber  band selector to create a new magnification
     instance.  Select puts the magnification image into the pri-
     mary  selection.   Paste copies the primary selection buffer
     into xmag.  Note that you can cut and paste between xmag and
     the bitmap program.  Resizing 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 mag-
     nified  image  is  displayed  in  the Scale widget. For more
     information, see the Athena Widget Set documentation.  Below
     is  the  widget structure of the xmag application.  Indenta-
     tion indicates hierarchical  structure.   The  widget  class
     name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.
