The current screen size is multiplied by the zoom factor parameter. For example, factor of 2 will double the size. 0.5 will half the size.
You can increment or decrement the current zoom by prepending the size value with a plus(+) or minus(-) sign. This is ideal for creating a zoom in and zoom out buttons (see example below).
The above code creates a simple toolbar with a zoom in and a zoom out buttons. Each click of the button increases or decreses the screen magnification by 20%.
