Similar to the zoom-in button (page 24), the zoom-in and recentre button, ScaleUpIcon.png, displays a smaller map area at a larger scale. Unlike the zoom-in button, the button also recentres on the point that you select on the map. To recentre and zoom in on the map:

  1. Click the ScaleUpIcon.png button to enable the map control.
  2. Select the area on the map that you would like to zoom in on and recentre the map:
    1. Click the map.
    2. While holding down the mouse button, drag the mouse to form a rectangle around the map area you would like to select.
    3. Release the mouse button.
    4. The selected map area is displayed at a larger scale in the centre of the map pane.

  3. To disable the map control, select another GIS map control.
Note.jpg Use the ScaleDownIcon.png button to zoom out and recentre from a point.
