<para>
KMag lets you magnify a portion of the screen. It consists of a zoom
view window where you can see the magnified image. The user can choose to
magnify either a selected portion of the screen, or magnify as the mouse is
moved around.

</para>
<para>
After running kmag, you will see a window similar to the one show above. You
can either magnify a fixed portion of the screen, or you can magnify the
contents around the mouse cursor.
<para>
</para>
To magnify the contents around the mouse cursor, select "follow mouse". Now
as you move the mouse, you will see that the screen around the mouse cursor
is magnified and shown in the magnifier window.
</para>
<para>
If "follow mouse" is not selected, then a fixed part of the screen is magnified.
You can see which part of the screen is being magnified by clicking on
"show selection". To move this selector, hold the left mouse key down while the
cursor is inside the zoom view window and then drag the mouse around. This way you
can move the contents of the zoom view window and the selection area will move
accordingly. By using the middle mouse button, its possible to move the entire
selection area around. By using the Control key and the left mouse button, its
possible to resize this area.

<para>KMag comes with lots of features. Its possible to "print" the zoomed
image directly to a printer, "save" the image to a file, "copy" the zoomed
image to the clipboard (which can be later used to paste in other applications),
show different mouse cursors etc.

<title>Description
</title>
<para><function>XtUnmanageChildren()</function> unmaps the specified widgets
and removes them from their parent's geometry management.
The widgets will disappear from the screen, and (depending
on its parent) may no longer have screen space allocated for
them.
</para>
<para>Each of the widgets in the <replaceable class="parameter">children</replaceable> array must have
the same parent.
</para>
<para>See the “Algorithm” section below for full details of the
widget unmanagement procedure.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1 id="r1-1007-unmanagechildren-2">
<title>Usage</title>
<para>Unmanaging widgets is the usual method for temporarily
making them invisible. They can be re-managed with
<function>XtManageChildren()</function>.
</para>
<para>You can unmap a widget, but leave it under geometry
management by calling <function>XtUnmapWidget()</function>. You can
destroy a widget's window without destroying the widget by
calling <function>XtUnrealizeWidget()</function>. You can destroy a
widget completely with <function>XtDestroyWidget()</function>.
</para>
<para>If you are only going to unmanage a single widget, it is
more convenient to call <function>XtUnmanageChild()</function>. It is
often more convenient to call <function>XtUnmanageChild()</function>
several times than it is to declare and initialize an array
of widgets to pass to <function>XtUnmanageChildren()</function>. Calling
<function>XtUnmanageChildren()</function> is more efficient, however,
because it only calls the parent's <function>change_managed()</function>
method once.
</para>

<refsect1 id="r1-1007-unmanagechildren-3">
