zoom on wallpaper image


Hi,
I have put a local marine chart as my wallpaper image (ubuntu 10.10). It's a high res tif image and looks good.
However, occasionally I'd like to zoom in on a particular point. Is there any way of doing this?? (I'm not using compiz - as I don't need that level of eye candy).

I know I can open the image manually and zoom - but wondered if there was a way to do it on the wallpaper.

Regards,
Ian

You can try vmg (Virtual Magnifying Glass) or similar programs.
