There was an interesting file manager on the SGI that had a slider that
allowed one to zoom in and out of the view. I think the now defunct
Fresco allowed similar transformations of widgets. They widgets were
still active and usable in their shrunken state. There was an example
of a scaled and rotated copy of a drawing program pasted in another
copy of itself. The pasted copy was still fully functional.
