- directory. The order of precedence is as follows: if a filename has been
- entered or selected and does not contain any "wildcard" characters, this will
- attempt to open the file and load the image contained therein; if the filename
- does contain any "wildcard" characters, this will refresh the file list using
- the specified filename mask; else, this will change the current directory to
- the one entered or specified.
-
- If nothing is entered and nothing is selected, it is taken as though "*.*"
- were entered in the filename area.
-
- "Properties" will display the format-specific properties dialog, allowing you

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Extended help for "Print Image" ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This dialog is where you specify the printer and the printing options to be
- used. There are four areas of interest on this dialog:
-
- o Printer list
- o Alignment area
- o Printer page
- o Pushbutton area
-
- The "printer list" is where the currently installed printers are listed, with
- the default printer selected when the dialog is initially displayed.
-
- The "alignment area" is where you can "snap" the image to a particular side or
- the center in both the horizontal and the vertical directions.
-
- The "printer page" is a depiction of the printable area for the printer you
- have selected. Here you can manipulate the image by using mouse button 1.
- When the pointer is in the middle of the image, depressing the button will
- allow you to change the position on the printer page, while depressing the
- button when the pointer is positioned on one of the image edges allows you to
- change the size of the image in the direction corresponding to the edge the
- pointer is on.
-
- Selecting a new printer in the printer list automatically resizes the printer
- page.
-

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Extended Help for "Magnify" ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The main window is where all actions are performed. There are three areas of
- interest (annotated in the picture above):
-
- o The action bar
- o The display area
- o The miniature view
-
- The action bar is where all of the actions are selected from. By moving the
- cursor to an item and pressing F1, you can get help for that menuitem.
-
- The display area is where the magnification is displayed. It is this area
- that is manipulated by subsequently selecting any of the appropriate
- menuitems. Actions such as saving and printing can be performed.
-
- (The miniature view is not used at this moment) The miniature view is used for
- drag-n-drop purposes. When used with applications that support the private
- format used by Magnify, you can copy the contents of the display area to other
- appplications without going through the clipboard. The advantage of doing this
- is that you don't lose what is currently in the clipboard.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Extended Help for "Set lens size" ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This dialog is used to change the current lens size. The lens is considered to
- be the area underneath the mouse pointer when magnification is in progress. It
- is a square with each side of the length specified on this panel.
-
- Move the scrollbar until the desired side-length is displayed next to the
- scrollbar, then press "OK" to apply this to the display area.
-
- If magnification was in progress when the menuitem was selected, it is paused
- while this dialog is displayed.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Extended Help for "Set refresh" ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This dialog is used to change the automatic refresh settings. The automatic
- refresh is used when you wish to observe something and do not wish to keep
- moving the mouse (which is, by default, the only time the display is
- refreshed).
-
- By unchecking the "Disable refresh" checkbox, you can enter a value (in
- milliseconds) that will be used as the period between refreshes. This must be
- between 1 and 1000 (inclusive).
-
- Checking the checkbox disables the automatic refresh. If magnification was in
- progress when the menuitem was selected, it is paused while this dialog is
- displayed.
-
-

- magnification is fully transparent, meaning the mouse retains its function and
- can be used as you normally would.
-

- size...".
-
- The Magnify window is, by default, refreshed whenever the mouse is moved, but

-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. Help for menuitem "Print display area..." ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Selecting this menuitem displays a dialog allowing you to print the display
- area on any local printer queue. Additionally, you can change the destination
- size and position on the printer page.
-
- For LAN printers, the following conditions must be met:
-
- There must be defined a local queue associated with a local printer
- definition. The printer definition must use the same printer driver that is
- used on the server for the printer in question.
- The port number (e.g. LPT1, LPT2, etc.) specified in the queue must match that
- which is used on the "NET USE" command.
-
- When PM sees an application spooling a print job to the local queue, it
- determines that this is to be printed on a LAN printer by the matching port
- numbers, so it sends the print job over the LAN to the server automatically.
