Lens 1.2 A magnifying program for the WorkBench.
Lens is a magnifying program for the workbench (and other screens). To run
Lens from the workbench just click on its icon. From a CLI, just type the
name of the program (i.e. "Run Lens"). There is nothing to install.
What Lens does is read the display graphics in a rectangle centered about
the mouse pointer and magnify it to the dimensions you specify. Lens will
allow you to zoom in and out. Here is a list of the features Lens has:
- Displays the current magnification and mouse coordinates in the title bar.
- Independent zooming in/out of X and Y dimensions.
- Adjustable sampling rate (number of times to update per minute).
- Displays axes (crosshairs) to indicate the mouse position (if desired).
- Allows you to freeze the lens view when the lens window is inactive.
- Has the ability to jump from one screen to another.
- Also allows you to specify just about any screen to open on initially.
