1. A method for generating a presentation of a region-of-interest in an original image for display on a display screen, wherein the original image comprises a plurality of polygons and each of the plurality of polygons is defined by three or more shared edges joined at vertex points, the method comprising: establishing, with a computer system, a lens for the region-of-interest, wherein the lens comprises a magnified focal region for the region-of-interest at least partially surrounded by a shoulder region, wherein the shoulder region provides context for the focal region with respect to portions of the image outside of the lens by preserving visibility of information surrounding the focal region; and when at least one of the plurality of polygons intersects at least one of a perimeter of the focal region or a perimeter of the shoulder region thereby forming at least one intersecting polygon, subdividing the at least one intersecting polygon by inserting at least one additional vertex point and at least one additional edge into the at least one intersecting polygon.
