WPF magnifier control is similar to the one provided by ImageGear.Windows.Forms Namespace, but it can be easily configured using the following XAML templates, as described in the following sections:

ImGearMagnifierCtl

The following template defines ImGearThumbnailMagnifierCtl Class control. Since ImGearMagnifierCtl Class is an invisible control, its template consists of placeholder and resource section that contains a visual template for ellipse magnifier. Note that this style is turning on in code-behind, so it must be in resource section to find it there.
