Description
The 2D Map window control.
By default, you can use the mouse in the following ways to interact with the 2D Graphics window:
- The latitude and longitude of the cursor position on the 2D map window is displayed in the status bar. To activate the status bar select View > Status Bar from the Menu bar. The latitude and longitude are shown in the scenario lat-lon units which can be found and changed in the Scenario > Basic > Units properties window.
- Select the Zoom In button on the default toolbar or 2D window default tool bar and drag it across the area of the 2D map window you want to zoom in to. Using the Zoom In button changes the map center.
- Click on the Zoom Out button on the default toolbar or 2D window default toolbar to zoom out of the 2D window one zoom level. You can continue to click the Zoom Out button until the 2D map fills the display window.
- Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out of the 2D map window. Using the mouse scroll wheel does not add any zoom levels to the zoom stack so after zooming in using the mouse scroll wheel hitting the Zoom Out button will zoom all the way out to a global view.
- To move the central body in grab mode, click the Grab Globe button on the default toolbar or the 2D window default toolbar and click and drag in the 2D window. To leave grab mode, click the Grab Globe button again.
