- This is yet another lens program. I did this after having
- written a *VERY* fast magnify routine. It was rather trivial
- as you can see by the source code: MKS_Lens.c The Magnify
- routine is in Magnify.asm and is as close to optimal as I can
- make. (Only 3 lines optimized by CAPE, so there are some, but
- CAPE takes care of that...)
-
- To use, just run from the CLI or WorkBench.
-
- The gadgets are:
-
- Bottom-Left: The HashMark: This turns on/off the pixel grid.
-
- The "+": This turns on/off the pointer
- crosshairs.
-
- The "F": This turns on/off the "FAST" mode.
- In Normal use, the program does a
- Delay() between each update. With
- "FAST" on, it will do the updates as
- quickly as possible...
-
- The "J": This is a "Hack" option and should
- be used "At Your Own Risk" What this
- does is "JUMP" the lens to the next
- screen. Since this goes to ANY screen
- and not just PUBLIC screens, this is
- not a system-legal operation. Do not
- complain if you have problems while
- using this option.
-
- Bottom-Right: The +/- gads: These change the magnification factor
- in either X or Y. The magnification
- factor is limited to the range of
- [1,16] (closed interval)
-
- Shift-Clicking on the gadget will change
- both X and Y if possible.
- (That is: If you Shift-Click the X+
- and X can be increased then Y will be
- increased)
-
- Keyboard:
-
- Display Lock: F10 or ScrL This locks the lens to the current display
- position. Thie makes it possible to move the
- mouse and still see the same location on the
- display.
-
- Clear Origin: F1 This clears the origin set by the SetOrigin
-
- Set Origin: F2 This sets the current position as the 0,0
- origin. This is useful for measurement
- and for dealing within window coordinate
- space.
