The options selected in the Color Options dialog, the Stamp Options dialog, and the Label Options dialog apply to the copied image.

View Menu

The View Menu contains these commands:

Pan
Use this command to pan in your image.

Use this command to select the pan cursor   to pan in the view.

You can use the Pan tool   as an equivalent to this command.

Zoom In
Use this command to select the zoom cursor   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.

 
Zoom Out
Use this command to zoom out to the previous zoom level.

You can use the Zoom Out toolbutton   as an equivalent to this command.

This command is only available if you have a zoomed view.

 
Unzoom
Use this command to zoom out to an unzoomed view.

You can use the No Zoom toolbutton   as an equivalent to this command.

This command is only available if you have a zoomed view.

Capture Mode
Choice of Capture Mode is only relevant for the UNIX versions of EasyCopy.
X Enhanced Mode
The default capture mode is X Enhanced Mode which is used for correct capture of any visuals controlled by the X Window system. Colors of individual windows are preserved when you capture the full screen or a region with any combination of windows. Even when a window appears in pseudo-color on the screen (due to color map restrictions) it is captured with its original colors.
 
XWD Mode
For more simple requirements you can use XWD Mode as a faster alternative. The capture is performed by a system call to the X Window capture program xwd. This option is dimmed if xwd is not available on the system.
 
GL Mode on IBM RS/6000
GL capture is available on IBM RS/6000 workstations, but only if the local display is used. The frame buffer to be captured must also be specified.

Select GL Mode to capture visuals generated by a GL-based application, because it may contain elements that cannot be seen by the X Window System.

 
GL Mode on SGI
GL capture is available on Silicon Graphics workstations.

Select GL Mode to capture visuals generated by a GL-based application, because it may contain elements that cannot be seen by the X Window System. Capture in GL Mode is performed by a system call to the native SGI screen capture program scrsave, and the captured image is, by default, saved in SGI’s RGB format.

 
OpenGL
If a windows is controlled by an OpenGL application it is captured correctly in X Enhanced Mode on all platforms.
