In the Map window, you can zoom in
and out, and pan to different parts of the map. You can display or
hide the Map window. You can also dock, undock,
and resize it.
To zoom in and out of the map:
- Use the zoom slider control in the upper right of the
Map window. Click the icon on the slider, and then
drag it up to zoom in, or down to zoom out.
Tip: You can also zoom in by double-clicking,
and zoom out by shift-double-clicking. If your mouse has a wheel,
in the Map window, rotate the wheel forward and
back to zoom in and out.
To pan to different parts of the map:
- Select the map, hold down the left mouse button, move the
map to a different position, and release.
To pan and zoom to the full extent of a layer:
- Double-click the layer in the Layers tab.
To resize the Map window:
- Click any edge, and drag the double-arrow-headed pointer. A gray box previews
the new size of the Map window. Release the mouse
to change the size.
To undock the Map window:
- Double-click the double bar in the Map window so that it floats
freely. The double bar is displayed at the top or left of the Map window, depending on where it is in the application
window.
To redock the Map window at its last-docked position:
- Double-click the title bar of the floating window.
