Description Vasco 2010-11-11 22:34:33 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

Idea:
A reader scientific texts will frequently find text passages such as:
"As shown in Figure 3.3 the engergy in the system...."

I always liked to have a look at these figures and the text at the same time. My personal opinion is that the text is easier to understand if you have the figure in front of you.



Reproducible: Didn't try




Now a killerfeature could be...:
...if the selection tool - the one that provides the possibilty to copy pictures to the clipboard or save to file - had a third option

Third Option: Display as small window. 

Now if the reader has two screens or simply keeps the pic on top of the text, the reader could easily have a glimps and read a line and check back on the figure...

How cool would that be?

Thank you for your work and your time

cheers
