Zooming and Panning Chart Diagrams

 Zooming

To change the zoom level of a Chart Diagram file either use the drop-down zoom selection on the main tool bar or select the Zoom-In and Zoom-Out tool from the palette tool bar.

Panning / Scrolling

If the current zoom level is such that the Chart Diagram file is not fully visible within the canvas, then scroll bars will automatically be added.

To pan or scroll the canvas to change the portion of the Chart Diagram file that is visible, several possibilities exist;-

1. Use the scroll bars on the side of the canvas.

2. Select the Outline View. This shows an overview of the Chart Diagram file. If the Chart Diagram file is larger than the canvas then the Outline View also shows a pale blue rectangle representing the canvas. Moving this blue rectangle in the Outline View by dragging it with the mouse scrolls the Chart Diagram file in the canvas itself.

3. When the Arrow Selection Tool is active, hold down the space bar and use mouse dragging to scroll the Chart Diagram file.

4. During certain operations that involve mouse dragging automatic scrolling is in effect. These operations include moving the chart and key, 'copy dragging' stitches, rows and columns and selecting with the Marquee Selection Tool.
