.SH DESCRIPTION

.I Lens

presents a magnified view in its window of an arbitrary area on the screen.
|

The default magnification is 4 (showing each pixel as a 4×4 pixel block in
|
||
.IR lens 's
|
||
window). This may be changed by typing a digit on the keyboard (with
|
||
.B 0
|
||
standing for 10), or by using the
|
||
.B +
|
||
and
|
||
.B -
|
||
keys to increase or decrease the magnification by one unit.
|
||
The lower limit is ×1; the upper ×16.

Releasing the button freezes the
|
||

display.
