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.  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.
