     MAG(6D)                                                   MAG(6D)



     NAME
          mag - pixel replication and magnification in a window

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/demos/bin/mag [integer]

     DESCRIPTION
          Mag copies and enlarges areas of the screen. The mag program
          demonstrates pixel reading and writing on the IRIS.  The
          area of the screen copied is chosen by the user with the
          mouse.  The power of magnification is an integer value which
          must be entered into the command line.  If no integer is
          specified, the default value of the power of magnification
          is 2.

          Operator control of this demo is strictly with the mouse.

               Mouse buttons  Function

               left      pick area on screen under cursor


     COMMENTS
          Values of magnification greater than 2 significantly degrade
          the magnified image.

          Trying to magnify the mag window causes some inexplicable
          results.

          Sometimes, when the window manager is in double buffer mode,
          the area magnified appears in the wrong color.  The mag
          program works best in single buffer mode.
