Magnifying a shrunken image --- without using imageData

[Joel Guillod]

Roger,

There is a simple solution which is to have a group containing an  
image. The lockloc of this group should be true, then you dimension  
the image according to the scale you choose and you set the image  
location according to the rect of the image you want to display. The  
container group is performing like a window but you have to set the  
loc of the image for the portion you want to see.

Bonus: You can download my sample stack "imedMagnifier" in the Rev  
Online user "imed" category "utility". This is a beta version!

Enjoy!
