Lens Screen Dump

This screen dump shows the image of a couple lenses. The magnify lens is familiar. The is a scanned paper document with has been processed with OCR, and the Show OCR lens shows the geometrically aligned OCR. Where lenses overlap, their effects compose. In this case, magnify enlarges image, except where it overlaps with OCR where it produces enlarged OCR. (Lenses have standard window controls for moving and resizing. These are removed when the cursor is not in the lens in order to remove the clutter.)

Lenses are inspired by Xerox PARC's The Magic Lens Interface Project.

Descriptions of lens support and other built-in system features are available.
