1. A method comprising:
- displaying an appearance of a lens in an image on a display surface, the appearance of the lens having a focal region with a magnification, the focal region at least partially within a shoulder region;
receiving a first signal to select the shoulder region;
while receiving the first signal, receiving a second signal to select the focal region and to adjust a position of the focal region relative to the shoulder region to define a degree and a direction of a folding of the focal region over the shoulder region for the appearance of the lens; and
applying the appearance of the lens to the image to produce a presentation having the defined degree and direction of the folding of the focal region over the shoulder region.

Abstract
A method for generating a presentation of a region-of-interest in an original image for display on a display surface, the method comprising: establishing a lens for the region-of-interest, the lens having a focal region with a magnification for the region-of-interest at least partially surrounded by a shoulder region across which the magnification varies to provide a continuous transition from the focal region to regions outside the lens; receiving a first signal for selecting the shoulder region; while receiving the first signal, receiving a second signal for selecting the focal region and for adjusting a position of the focal region relative to the shoulder region to define a degree and a direction of a folding of the focal region over the shoulder region for the lens; and, applying the lens to the original image to produce the presentation.

11. A data processing system comprising:
-
a processor coupled to memory and a touch sensitive surface input device, the memory including instructions that are executable to cause the data processing system to perform operations comprising; establishing an appearance of a lens for an image, the appearance of the lens having a focal region with a magnification at least partially within a shoulder region across which the magnification varies to provide a continuous transition from the focal region to an unmagnified region in the image outside the appearance of the lens; and responsive to receiving, via the touch sensitive surface input device, a first signal to select the shoulder region and a second signal to select the focal region and to adjust a position of the focal region relative to the shoulder region to define a degree and a direction of a folding of the focal region over the shoulder region for the appearance of the lens, applying the appearance of the lens to the image to produce a presentation having the defined degree and direction of the folding of the focal region over the shoulder region for the appearance of the lens. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable storage device comprising instructions that, responsive to being executed by a data processing system, cause the data processing system to perform operations comprising:
-
establishing an appearance of a lens for an image, the appearance of the lens having a focal region with a magnification at least partially within a shoulder region across which the magnification varies to provide a continuous transition from the focal region to an unmagnified region in the image outside the appearance of the lens; and responsive to receiving a first signal to select the shoulder region and a second signal to select the focal region and to adjust a position of the focal region relative to the shoulder region to define a degree and a direction of a folding of the focal region over the shoulder region for the appearance of the lens, applying the appearance of the lens to the image to produce a presentation having the defined degree and direction of the folding of the focal region over the shoulder region for the appearance of the lens. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A method implemented by a data processing system comprising:
-
establishing an appearance of a lens within an image, the appearance of the lens having a focal region with a magnification at least partially surrounded by a shoulder region across which the magnification varies to provide a continuous transition from the focal region to a region of the image outside the appearance of the lens; receiving a first signal for selecting a first point in the focal region and a second signal for selecting a second point in the focal region and for adjusting a position of the second point relative to the first point to define a degree and a direction of a rotation for the appearance of the lens, the selecting of the first and second points performed concurrently; and applying the appearance of the lens to the image to produce a presentation. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)

23. A method implemented by a data processing system comprising:
-
establishing an appearance of a lens within an image on a display screen for an off-screen object, the appearance of the lens having a focal region with a magnification for the off-screen object at least partially within a shoulder region across which the magnification varies to provide a continuous transition from the focal region to a region of the image outside the appearance of the lens; folding the focal region over the shoulder region to position the focal region within a border of the display screen; applying the appearance of the lens to the image to produce an on-screen presentation; and displaying the on-screen presentation on the display screen. - View Dependent Claims (24)
