4.4.3. General Options: Magnification Section
If you have trouble seeing or selecting the individual characters or words on the device screen, you can
enable magnification. Magnification enlarges the part of the screen that currently has focus. For scanning
systems, this means that the currently highlighted group or character is automatically magnified. For
onscreen keyboards using direct selection, you first select a focus area by selecting the screen near the key
you want to select. The focus area will be magnified, at which time you can select the magnified elements
inside the magnifier window. You turn magnification on and off using the
Enabled
box in the
Magnification
section of the
General Options
dialog (or by selecting
View > Zoom Mode
).
You can change the positioning of the magnified screen area using the
Location
drop-down menu. By
default, the magnified area will appear in the center of the Palmtop display (
Center in Window
). You might
prefer to have the area appear directly over the focus area (
Center on Selection
), especially when using
direct selection. The level of magnification is set using the
Power
control. If this control is set to 3, for
example, everything in the magnified display will be three times as large as usual. You can set the actual
size of the display area to be magnified using the
Width
and
Height
controls. Use these in conjunction with
the
Power
control to make the magnification area suit your needs. The width and height are given in pixels.
Note:
Magnification will only work with scanning if the Linear scanning option is set (see section
4.7). Magnification width and height values are ignored during scanning.
4.5. Input Configuration: Touchscreen Dialog
Palmtop provides several modes of touchscreen input:
Select on Push
,
Select on Release
, and
Dwell
. To
choose a mode, select
Tools > Options
, then select
Configure
next to the
Touchscreen
check box.
•
In
Select on Push
mode, the button will be selected when you first touch the button. The button will
not go back to its normal appearance until you release the button.
•
In
Select on Release
mode, you can touch anywhere on the screen and drag your finger (or stylus)
around until you are on the button you want. A "focus" indication box is drawn around each button as
you drag your finger over it. This focus box shows you which button will be selected when you
release. Releasing on a button will select it.
•
In
Dwell
mode, a button is not selected until you have held your finger (or stylus) on it for a certain
period of time. You can set the dwell time using the numeric control in the dialog. As with
Select on
Release
, a focus indication box is drawn around the button you are currently touching.
Note:
The
Dwell
mode allows for dwell selection in the configuration window and in the Editor
Window, but does not allow for menu and toolbar selections.
When using
Select on Release
or
Dwell
mode, a focus indication box will highlight the active button. If
Invert
Colors
is checked, the focus will be indicated by inverting the color of the active button. If
Invert Colors
is not
checked, focus will be indicated by a rectangular frame around the active button. The
Set Color
button in the
Focus Details
section allows you to set the color of the frame. If the
Dwell Click
check box is checked, a
"click" sound will occur whenever a button is chosen using
Dwell
selection.
