Overview Window
The Overview Window defaults in the upper right corner of the screen. It
automatically selects a scaling factor for the loaded file. It contains
a complete overview of the active document. The main purpose of the
window is to display the entire document in as much detail as possible,
even at high zoom factors. This is accomplished by the use of grey
shades. You will notice a small red frame in the overview window when
viewing a document. This square corresponds to the area visible in the
main window. When panning around the document, the square moves
correspondingly. When the zoom factor in the main window is changed, the
size changes, enclosing the new selected area for viewing.
Select a new main window location by moving the red frame around in the
overview window. Notice that when the cursor is moved over the window,
the shape of the cursor changes to a small pointing hand. If you click
on right mouse button, the red frame follows the pointing hand to the
new position, and updates the contents of the main window. You can also
drag the red frame around by holding down the mouse button down while
moving the mouse. The main window is then constantly updated, thus a
dynamic panning effect is achieved.
The Overview Window plays nicely together with the
SmoothPan technology.
