The ball of an intellimouse or intellitrackball performs the pan and tilt functions.
Moving the ball in a horizontal plane to the right increases the pan value, while moving the ball
in a horizontal plane to the left decreases the pan value. Similarly, moving the ball in a verical
plane away from you increases the tilt value and moving the ball in a vertical plane towards you
reduces the tilt value.
Pressing the wheel button and left mouse button lock the tilt function and pressing the wheel
button and right mouse button locks the pan function. A warning is displayed in the Status
Window when either Pan or Tilt, or both are locked.
