magnify
Type
property
Summary
Shows or hides a window showing a magnified view of an image.
Syntax
set the magnify of <image> to {true | false}
Description
Use the magnify property to edit an image pixel-by-pixel.
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.
Setting the magnify of the image to false hides the Magnify palette.
You can also show the Magnify palette by choosing the Pencil tool and Command-clicking the image (on Mac OS systems) or Control-clicking it (on Unix and Windows systems). This action selects the image, so if the image is part of a group, either the editGroupedControls property must be true, or you must be in group-editing mode.
Examples
set the magnify of image "Dots" to true
