A display tool displays a screen view of a data image on a display, where the screen view includes one or more graphical objects. A magnifier tool displays a zoomed-in view of a portion of the screen view, where the zoomed-in view is superimposed on the screen view, and where the magnifier tool is enabled to display a zoomed-in view that is not part of a current screen view. A crosshair tool targets a graphical object in the zoomed-in portion of the view. A decoration tool displays a user control for a targeted graphical object.
