Global Magnifier Controller
The Global Magnifier Controller plug-in gives control over the global magnifier from inside a plug-in. When the controller is assigned to a container, the global magnifier is applied to this container. The magnifier is positioned and scaled according to the positional and scale values of the host container. The plug-in additionally provides access to the global magnifier properties Scale, Ellipsis and Alpha.
Please observe that only one Magnifier Control plug-in may be active within a scene at any given time. Because of this, if there are several instances of the Global Magnifier Controller, the global magnifier will only be applied to the last instance activated. However, when the currently applied controller is deactivated, the plug-in automatically applies the global magnifier to the next container with an active controller plug-in. The global magnifier is fully deactivated only when there are no active controllers left.
Note: This plug-in is located in: Built Ins -> Container plug-ins -> Default
