<refsect1 id="manifier-1-exdesc"><title>EXTENDED DESCRIPTION</title>

<para>

&cmd; provides a simple screen magnification utility for GNOME, offering splitscreen or fullscreen magnification. You should specify one of the following options: -v (vertical splitscreen magnification), -h (horizontal splitscreen mag-nification), or -f (fullscreen magnification). If fullscreen

magnification is specified, the source and target displays must also be specified.

</para>

<para>

Note that fullscreen magnification requires that two separate X server graphical screens are available. The source display can be virtual, that is, not connected to a physical graphics subsystem. The target display must be connected to a physical display device. Source and target displays are of the following form:

</para>

<para>

[hostname]:server_number.screen_number

</para>

<para>

Most users of &cmd; in standalone mode specify the -m option, which causes the magnified region to be continually recentered on the onscreen pointer position in the source display.

</para>

<para>

magnifier capabilities include recoloring the mouse pointer, specifying the magnification factor for source to target conversion, separate magnification factors for the mouse pointer, and whether or not to apply smoothing or averaging to the resized image.

</para>
