Manipulating the Station Map

You can manipulate the station map by magnifying portions of the map, rotating the ring, or resizing the map window.

Magnifying a Portion of the Map

In a ring with many stations, you may want to magnify portions of the map to facilitate working with individual station text boxes or command menus. You use the mouse to zoom in on a specified portion of the map (Figure 5-4), or to magnify a quadrant of the map.

The following mouse operations will cause the window to zoom as described. Note that once you change the display mode, all individual node text boxes will disappear.
