Canvas

Navigating on the canvas and modifying the zoom ratio

You can navigate on the canvas using either the scrollbars or the Navigate button on the General toolbar. The former ones become visible only when the contents of the canvas exceed canvas size. In "Navigate" mode the canvas can be moved by dragging: if you click on the Navigate button the "move" cursor appears and the canvas can be repositioned.
The contents of the canvas can be reduced or magnified at will with the Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons on the General toolbar. The zoom ratio can be changed using the mouse wheel, too. (Zooming with the mouse wheel is centered at the cursor position. With this function, you can virtually "move" the canvas.) The Zoom All button on the General toolbar sets the optimal magnification to view everything on the canvas. The "Enter" shortcut can also be used for this purpose. The Zoom to Selection button on the same toolbar (or the "Ctrl + Enter" keyboard shortcut) increases the zoom ratio placing the selected object in the center. This button is unavailable until at least one atom is selected.
