Add a moving overlay magnifier #13287
Comments
Something like that, besides being an edge-case with a disproportionate implementation/maintenance overhead, would result in somewhat unsatisfactory performance overall given that it would lead to rendering starting/stopping a lot when in use. (Thus tying up resources better spend on pre-rendering actual pages.) I'd suggest WONTFIX here, for the reasons listed above; and (essentially) duping this to issue #1260 which is somewhat related. |
I am not sure how you judge "disproportionate" and "better spent" but being able to actually read a page detail would be a huge bonus. I am afraid your evaluation is influenced by the fitness of your eyesight.
That is what PSView and xdvi do. The page should be rendered in the background onto a canvas of a higher resolution and project a view of that bitmap onto the overlay.
This one is more dynamic because you can scroll. |
Rendering all pages at e.g. double their actual size, just to support an edge-case, would affect both overall performance and memory usage negatively; hence why this wouldn't really be a good idea. Please also note that it's already possible to zoom-in/out around the current cursor position, by using "normal" zooming with: |
Double rendering would be required only when the magnifier tool is active.
This affects the whole page rather than the nearest neighbourhood and interferes with scrolling. While you can scroll with the hand tool, you see less of the page when the whole page is zoomed. Moreover, the hand tool requires you to press the button, which is a nuisance (I know you can press the middle button once but it works under Microsoft Windows only). |

Steps to reproduce the problem:
What is the expected behavior? (add screenshot)

There is no such tool.
