Hello IxDA list! This is my first post, so I apologize if it's not quite how one is supposed to use the list, but I figured I'd give it a shot.
Say you've got a horizontal graphic. This graphic is very short (height) and very wide (width) - like a DNA sequence, or something (see http://www.brandonebward.com/sample/band_whole.jpg) I want to be able to view this band with much more clarity - say twice as tall and zoomed in 100% as I mouse over the band (see http://www.brandonebward.com/sample/band_part.jpg) . Can you suggest ways I could show this enlarged portion? Ideas I've had so far: Magnifying glass on roll-over (ala iPhone text magnifying) Swelling on roll-over (ala OS X dock) User clicks and drags to select a region and that enlarged region fills the space of the original whole (ala zooming w/ mag tool in Photoshop) I'm hoping there are other real-world, or virtual-world methods this could be accomplished. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Brandon E.B.
