Panning maps/images

The viewing of images (position and zoom) is controlled by the GM. You can temporarily pan around the map to view the surrounding area.

Press the left mouse button down on the scroller gadget.

Move the mouse away from the point where the button was pressed down in order to start panning in that direction. Moving the mouse will allow you to adjust pan speed.

Release the left mouse button will return the view back to the one provided by the GM.

Adding a pointer

Pointers are markers that can be placed on maps and images to hilight spherical, conical or square-shaped areas or directions and locations using an arrow shaped marker. If a grid is present, the grid squares under the area markers are hilighted.

Press the left and right mouse buttons and drag the mouse to draw a quick adjust pointer. Pressing and releasing the buttons or creating a new pointer using this method will erase an existing one created using the same method.

Press down the modifier keys to vary the shape of the pointer: Default = Arrow SHIFT = Square CONTROL = Sphere ALT = Cone
