View Locking Multi-Monitor Screen Magnifier

One or more computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions for performing a method of running a software program on a computer, the computer operating under an operating system and coupled to a plurality of monitors, the method including issuing instructions from the software program comprising:

• magnifying a portion of a graphic user interface on a first monitor to establish a first magnified view having upper, lower, left and right boundaries;
• magnifying a portion of the graphic user interface on a second monitor to establish a second magnified view having upper, lower, left and right boundaries, whereby the graphic user interface of the first monitor is extended in the direction of the second monitor;
• responsive to an end-user selectable setting, disabling panning on the first and second monitors;
• and
• responsive to pointer indicia moving from first monitor towards second monitor displaying pointer indicia substantially instantly within second magnified view when pointer indicia crosses the boundary of first magnified view in the direction of second monitor whereby first magnified view is maintained in first monitor.

• responsive to an end-user selectable setting, restricting pointer indicia movement to an area defined by the boundaries of each view that are not between first and second monitor;
• responsive to pointer indicia moving from first monitor towards second monitor displaying pointer indicia substantially instantly within second magnified view when pointer indicia crosses the boundary of first magnified view in the direction of second monitor whereby first magnified view is maintained in first monitor;
• and
• responsive to pointer indicia moving back from the second monitor towards the first monitor displaying pointer indicia substantially instantly within first magnified view when pointer indicia crosses the boundary of second magnified view in the direct of first monitor whereby second magnified view is maintained in second monitor.
