Viewing a mind map<br />

As your map grows, parts of it may fall outside the display area and no longer be visible.<br />

Scrolling the map<br />

You can use the scroll bars or your mouse scroll button to bring them back into view:<br />

To scroll your map vertically, use the vertical scroll bar or the scroll button of your mouse.<br />

To scroll your map horizontally, use the horizontal scroll bar or press Ctrl while using the scroll<br />

button of your mouse.<br />

Panning the map<br />

You can also pan the view to reach different areas as follows:<br />

Press the Shift key and drag the area of the view that you want to reposition within the<br />

workspace.<br />

When you pan the view in this way, you will notice that the shape of the mouse pointer changes<br />

from an arrow to a hand.<br />

You can also easily move the map within the workspace by dragging its root to the position of your<br />

choice.<br />

Viewing map details<br />

There are other viewing options available to you:<br />

You can use the Zoom slider or the Zoom icons of the View tab to<br />

change the level of magnification of your map. See "Zooming in and out" for more information.<br />

You can view the map in full screen mode by choosing View | Zoom | Full Screen or<br />

pressing F9. To return to normal viewing mode, choose Close Full Screen in the floating Full<br />

Screen toolbar, press Esc or press F9 again.<br />

If you want to present your map to others, you can focus on one branch at a time while you<br />

discuss the issues related to that branch by choosing View | Detail | Focus Mode or<br />

pressing F3. As soon as you click the branch you want to concentrate on, the map becomes<br />

centered on that branch. If necessary, you can select a different zoom factor for maximum<br />

legibility by clicking the lower part of the Focus Mode icon.<br />
