Zoom In / Out

Displays consist of a conglomeration of many symbols that cause the graphical view to be extremely large. In order to provide an overall view of the whole display in the Display panel, the individual input and output graphical representations are minimized by the application. While this minimization provides a nice overall view, the details of the display are most often too small to read or understand. This is where the Zoom feature comes in handy, as it allows you to zoom in on any section of the display to obtain a clearer, more readable view. There are two types of zooming features with SFHub Visualizer; Preset and View-Quick Set.

The preset Zoom features are on the right side of the Display panel whereas, the View-Quick Set (a feature that lets you set any percentage) is found in the bottom right corner of the Status bar. (See the following figures for the two types of zoom features.)

The Zoom features are:

Zoom Features

Feature	Action	Description
	Minimap	The Minimap button activate the minimap panel. The Minimap presents a scaled-down representation of the entire display, providing spatial orientation and quick navigation within large display schemas.
	Zoom Out	The Zoom In button allows you to increase the size of the overall display 1 % at a time, to make viewing the inputs and outputs easier.
	Zoom In	The Zoom Out button allows you to decrease the size of the overall display 1 % at a time, so that you can see more or all of the display in the Display panel.
	Fit to Canvas	The Fit to Canvas button allows you to quickly resize the display view to the default size, which allows you to view the whole display in the Display panel.
	Locate Selection	If a symbol is selected in the display, the Locate Selection button allows you to center it in the canvas (Display) area.
	Choose Zoom	The Zoom Percentage button allows you to quickly resize the display view to a set percentage. Available percentages are; 25, 50, 75, 100 or 200.
	View - Quick Set\ (in the bottom right corner of the display)	The View - Quick Set feature in the status bar allows you to increase or decrease the size of the display in the Display panel by setting a specific percentage of the actual display size. By default, displays are usually displayed at a smaller percentage (25% or less) to ensure the whole display can be viewed in the Display panel.

Note

When using a touch-screen monitor or device, you can use gestures (e.g., pinch) as opposed to the zoom features, to zoom in and out on areas in the Display panel.\

To use the zoom feature:

In the Display panel, click on the zoom button that correlates to the action you want to take.
- Minimap : Use this feature to open the Minimap panel, which provides a scaled-down representation of the entire display. (see Minimap for details.)
- Zoom In: Use this feature to increase the size of the display in 1% increments. Each button click increases the view by 1%.
- Zoom Out: Use this feature to decrease the size of the display in 1% decrements. Each button click decreases the view by 1%.
- Fit to Canvas: Use this feature to return the display to its default size after you have used one of the other zoom options.
- Zoom Percentage: Use this feature to view the display at a preset percentage size.
- View - Quick Set: Use this feature to increase or decrease the size of a display based on any percentage you want to set.
  To set a percentage:
  a. Double-click on the current percentage display at the bottom of the Display panel.
  This action highlights the current percent so you can change it.
  b. Type the percentage you want to use.
  c. Press Enter on your keyboard.\ The display increases/decreases in size, based on the percentage you have entered.
tip
You can use Ctrl (on your keyboard) + mouse scroll wheel, to quickly zoom in and out.
If you have zoomed out or increased the display percentage setting, use the "Pan" feature to move the display around in the Display panel until you see the section of the display you want to view. For details on the "Pan" feature, see Pan Around a Display.
