Navigation Controls
The navigation controls for zooming and panning are located at the top right of the visualization:
Note: These controls are not active when auto-zoom is enabled.
Click on the arrows on the topmost circle to pan the map in that direction.
Click on the plus sign to zoom in and on the minus sign to zoom out. You can also click on the zoom handle and drag it to the desired position. Tip: You can also use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.
To reset navigation to the default values, click on the gray button in the middle of the circle or right-click in the visualization and select Reset Navigation.
Interaction Mode Control
The interaction mode control is normally located below the navigation controls:
Note: These controls are not active when auto-zoom is enabled.
It is used to switch between marking mode and panning mode: The arrow represents the marking mode (in which you can mark one or more items using single click, rectangle marking or lasso marking) and the hand represents panning mode.
When in marking mode you can also pan in the map using some keyboard and mouse shortcuts, as described below:
