2. Image Structure Related Dialogs | |
The Navigation dialog is designed to offer easy movement around the active image if the zoom is set higher than what the image window can display. If this is the case, there is a white colored rectangle that shows the location of the current view area in respect to the image. In this rectangle, the mouse pointer takes the form of a grabbing hand; outside this rectangle, it takes the form of a hand with pointing fore-finger.
To change the viewing region:
Click outside the rectangular area with the pointing fore-finger on the wanted region.
Click and drag the rectangular area.
Use Shift and mouse-wheel to move horizontally, Alt and mouse-wheel to move vertically.
This dialog is a dockable dialog; see the section Section 2.3, “Dialogs and Docking” for help on manipulating it.
You can access it:
from the main menu: → → ;
from the Tab menu in any dockable dialog by clicking on
