How Microscope mode works
Position. The Microscope is always centered on the mouse position.
Size. The size of the Microscope is configurable. The default diameter is 100 pixels. See
“Configuring Microscope mode options” on page 682 for more information.
Transparency. The Microscope maintains a certain level of transparency so that the real-sized
data can always be seen.
Zoom Factor (vertical). The amount of vertical zoom varies with the existing zoom level of the
data. Generally, the note height under the microscope has a minimum height of 8 pixels and scales
up from there depending on the existing zoom of the data. The microscope data will always be
bigger than the original regardless of how far it is zoomed in.
Zoom Factor (horizontal/time). The microscope will provide some horizontal magnification when
the view zoom is such that notes become very narrow.
Tip: Use Fast Zoom in combination with Microscope mode if you wish to quickly zoom around the
current mouse position. See “To zoom using the mouse wheel (Fast Zoom)” on page 323 for more
details.
