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 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 but‐
       tons across its top.  Close deletes this particular magnification instance.  Replace brings up the rubber band selec‐
       tor 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 primary selection.  Paste copies the pri‐
       mary 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.  Inden‐
       tation  indicates  hierarchical	 structure.   The  widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance
       name.
