Birds Eye

Menu: View > Birds Eye

Toolbar: View

Description: Using this tool, you can closely see any document part. It combines the zoom and pan functionality.


The Birds Eye window contains a view of document, a red rectangle that represents the part of document shown on the screen, and zoom buttons. You can move the red rectangle to pan the document so that it fits to the rectangle boundaries on the screen.
Zoom buttons allow you to see the details within the red rectangle without zooming the image. The Fit button (with letter "f") pans the image to fit the Birds Eye window.
The red frame can be resized by clicking and dragging the right mouse button.
