ARTIST GRAPHICS MAGNIVIEW -- 28 September 1996
=============================================+
INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Windows 95 driver distribution disk includes the MagniView spyglass
feature. This allows you to easily magnify the area under the mouse cursor
so that it can be seen more clearly.
The spyglass features are controlled using the MagniView application.
You may like to drag this application to your Windows Startup folder
so that it will be available each time you start your system.
NOTE: in this release, the spyglass is only available when running at
8 bits per pixel (256 colours).
KEYBOARD CONTROL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To control MagniView using the keyboard, press any of the following keys:
CTRL-F9 Turn on and off spyglass
CTRL-F10 Change the spyglass size
CTRL-F11 Change the spyglass zoom level
CTRL-F12 Change the position of the spyglass relative to the cursor
CTRL-ALT Turn on or off spyglass as long as key is held
These keypresses are available at any time while MagniView is running. Note
that CTRL-ALT behaves slightly differently to the other hotkeys -- the effect
ends as soon as you release either key. It's ideal if you are using the
spyglass intermittently as you move over a large document.
MOUSE CONTROL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can also control MagniView using only the mouse. Each of the four
corners of the screen controls a feature of the spyglass, as follows:
Upper left Change the spyglass zoom level
Lower left Turn on and off spyglass
Lower right Change the position of the spyglass relative to the cursor
Upper right Change the spyglass size
To activate the feature, you need to move the mouse into the extreme corner
of the screen. You may find you do it by accident occasionally, but with
a little practise, it soon becomes second nature.
MAGNIVIEW OPTIONS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When MagniView is running, it leaves a small icon on your desktop. If you
double-click on this icon (or use ALT-TAB to switch to MagniView), the
options window is displayed.
You can use this window to redefine the hotkeys used to control the
various features -- click on the feature you want to define, then select
a key from the keyboard display, along with an optional CTRL or ALT
qualifier.
You can also disable the mouse control if you choose, by deselecting
the "Corner Control" checkbox.
If you experience erratic mouse movement while using the spyglass,
especially with the larger sizes, it may be that your mouse is not
able to correctly deal with such a large cursor. You can work around
this by deselecting the "Fast Mouse" checkbox. This defers updating
the spyglass so that it doesn't interfere with mouse movement, and
should correct any such problems. However, movement will be a little
slower with this option disabled.
