ABSTRACT:
Described is a context map that assists users in determining a current location within a source region of a display monitor that is being magnified. The context map comprises a visible image representing a location of the unmagnified region that is being magnified. The visible image may be an indicator such as a pointer, or a reduced-size representation of the desktop with an indicator therein. The visible image may be made to selectively appear, such as by user command. The magnified content may be displayed on one monitor, and the context map on another. The context map alternatively may be on the same monitor, possibly superimposed over some part of the magnified content. The magnification window may move with a pointing device, and the context map may be docked, or displayed over at least part of the floating window such that the context map also moves with it.
