Two-dimensional distributions (WCI,RBI) that result from microlensing of the BLR models by the diamond-shaped (κ = 0 = 0.5) Chang-Refsdal caustic. Models in which the emission line emerges at small (1 ≤ rin/rs < 2), large (2 ≤ rin/rs < 5), and much larger (rin/rs ≥ 5) radial distances from the accretion disk are examined separately. The simulations are further divided into several intervals of continuum magnification μcont and relative BLR magnification, μBLR, expressed in units of μcont; these quantities are specified at the end of each row. The KD model, seen at 22°, 44°, and 62°, is plotted with shades of blue; the EW model, seen at the same viewing angles, is plotted with shades of green; and the PW model, seen at 34°, 44°, and 62°, is plotted in shades of orange and red. The empty squares translate the inability of extended BLR models (rin/rs ≥ 5) to reproduce large-amplitude magnifications of both the continuum and emission line.
