[edit] Notes
With the default WW window size, the 3x factor is the equivalent of taking pictures with a 5 mega pixels digital camera. A full 1024x768 screen would produce more than 7 mega pixels.
The 2x magnifier may be limited by the video card capabilities and may need to scale down the resulting image.
The 3x magnifier will only render the ground terrain - no stars, atmosphere, sky, borders or placenames... and tend to freeze WW for several seconds.
To produce a panoramic view, simply shrink your WW window vertically to get a wide rectangle. The horizontal field of view will automaticaly widen.
