Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for displaying a context-inclusive magnification area. In one aspect, a method can include receiving input indicating a user preference for magnification of content. Content that corresponds to the preference can be identified. One or more contextual content elements that are not adjacent to the selected content in the user interface and that are determined to provide context to the selected content can be identified. A magnification area on the user interface of the computing device that includes at least the selected graphical content and the one or more contextual content elements can be displayed.
