Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the magnify of img "Cat" to true
end mouseUp

In theory this is pretty 'sexy, but in practice it doesn't seem quite that as I cannot find out if there is anyway to either:

1. increase the size of the area of the image magnified.

2. Move the bounding square around to see different parts of the image magnified.

AND:

3. There seems no way to alter the magnification scale.

Erm . . . hang over from HyperCard?

Yes, it's a feature from HC to allow you to edit individual pixels in image. Use instructions are in the dictionary.

When you set the magnify of an image to true, a palette appears displaying a close-up view of the center of the image. At the same time, a box appears in the stack window showing you what portion of the image is magnified. Drag this box by its edges to magnify different parts of the image. In the Magnify palette, you use the paint tools to change the image.

Thanks.

However, dragging the box seems impossible.

Thanks.

However, dragging the box seems impossible.

Choose a paint tool. The magnify property is only for painting.
