Ever wish MATLAB had a magnifying glass so you could look at the details of a small region of your plots without having to zoom in and out again and again? Just run 'magnify.m' with the figure of interest as the current figure, then use the left mouse button to bring up a magnified veiw that you control. Or use the 'Ctrl' key while clicking to bring up a magnifying glass that 'locks' onto the figure when released (for use when copying and printing figures). Use the '<' and '>' keys to make the magnifying glass smaller or larger. Use '-' and '+' to decrease or increase the magnification level.
