Display

The initial zoom region of a PARCgraphics WPF Display determines which section of the display will be immediately visible when it is loaded. Use the Set Zoom and Clear Zoom options to define the initial zoom region.

•      Set Zoom: Toggles on the zoom editing mode. When zoom edit mode is enabled, this button remains highlighted. To specify an initial zoom area, manipulate the zoom region (transparent green rectangle) over the desired area on the canvas. The zoom region can be adjusted using its adorners (blue dots) just like other display elements. Note that the zoom region can only be manipulated when the base canvas is selected. After defining the initial zoom region, click Set Zoom again to exit the zoom edit mode.

•      Clear Zoom: Removes the specified initial zoom region.
