The Edit Menu contains these commands:
The View Menu contains these commands:
to pan in the view.
You can use the Pan tool
as an equivalent to this command.
to zoom in the view.
You can use the Zoom In tool
as an equivalent to this command.
When you have a zoomed view there will be scroll bars at the bottom at to the right of the image, so you can still navigate to any part of the image.
There are two modes of zoom: stepwise or area zoom.
Stepwise Zoom:
When you have selected the zoom cursor
move it to
the position you want as center for the zoomed view and click the left mouse button.
This will zoom in by a factor of 2:
Area Zoom
When you have selected the zoom cursor
move it to
the position you want as one corner of the zoomed view.
Press the left mouse button, and keep it pressed as you drag a rectangle.
When the mouse button is released you zoom into the selected area:
The zoom factor depends on the size of the rectangle.
You cannot zoom in by a factor > 16. This is because larger zoom factors would require so much system memory that it might slow down your system to an unacceptable level, or even kill it.
You may zoom in in succesive steps, but the net zoom factor must still not exceed 16.
You can use the Zoom Out toolbutton
as an equivalent to this command.
This command is only available if you have a zoomed view.
