It allows you to selectively zoom in on some small region of a 2D figure, the selection follows your mouse around interactively. You can control various aspects of the zoom on the fly with key presses. For example, + or - will increase of decrease the amount of magnification. Other keys control the size of the magnifying glass. Its pretty fast too, so as the mouse moves around it updates quickly. Plus, if you like what you see, you can freeze that magnified insert so the image can be saved or copied with the magnified insert in place.\r\n\r\nSpawned from magnify, a nice variant is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathworks.com\/matlabcentral\/fileexchange\/loadFile.do?objectId=7286&amp;objectType=file\">magnifyrecttofig<\/a>, by Andrew Diamond. This one pops up a separate figure window with the magnified region. I liked both these ideas.\r\n\r\nOnly one question remains.
