Figure 2.15: The zoom tools are located at the bottom right corner of the view.

The zoom tools consist of some shortcuts for zooming to fit the width of the view (Image fit_width), zoom to 100 % to see details (Image 100percent), zoom to a selection (Image zoom_selection), a zoom slider, and two mouse mode buttons (Image selection) (Image zoom_in).

The slider reflects the current zoom level and can be used to quickly adjust this. For more fine-grained control of the zoom level, move the mouse upwards while sliding.

The sections below describes how to use these tools as well as other ways of zooming and navigating data.
