NAME
  xmag - magnify parts of the screen

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

OPTIONS
  -source geom
	  This option specifies the size and/or location of the source region
	  on the screen.  By default, a 64x64 square is provided for the user
	  to select an area of the screen.

  -mag integer
	  This option indicates the magnification to be used.  5 is the
	  default.

DESCRIPTION
  The xmag program allows you to magnify portions of an X screen.  The
  magnification occurs on the screen specified by the $DISPLAY environmental
  variable or by the -display command line option regardless of location of
  the mouse pointer in a multi-screen display. 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.  Cut puts
  the magnification 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.	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 magnified 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.
  Indentation indicates hierarchical  structure.  The widget class name is
  given first, followed by the widget instance name.
