  • Method and system for previewing computer output
    Patent number: 5652901
    Abstract: A method and system for previewing computer output that preserves the horizontal and vertical adjacency of the output. The computer output is previewed in a preview area. The computer output has several elements, or pages, arranged in rows and columns. A magnification factor is calculated that is directly related to one of the dimensions of the preview area and inversely related to either the sum of the vertical dimensions of the elements in one of the columns or the sum of the horizontal dimensions of the elements in one of the rows. At least a portion of the computer output is selected for display. The selected portion of the computer output is then displayed in the preview area at the calculated magnification factor.
