Magnification
- GNOME Accessibility Developers Guide

- User Interface Guidelines for Supporting Accessibility
Many users, even those not visually impaired, benefit from magnification of text and graphics. However, without magnification, a visually impaired user may not be able to access and use the program at all.
- Provide the ability for the user to magnify the work area.
- Provide options in the application to scale the work area. Users need to have an option to magnify the work area 150% to 400% or more. Test the application to confirm the object you are viewing is not affected by changing the magnification settings.
