# QMag

This is a simple magnifier-type program. It shows how one can do some quite low-level operations in a portable way using Qt.

Run it, click in the magnifier window, then click where you want to magnify or drag out a rectangle. Two combo boxes let you select amplification and refresh frequency, a text label tells you the color of the pixel the cursor is on, and a button lets you save the magnified area as a .bmp file.

Implementation:
