Controls
With the cursor inside the zoom box, a single-click and drag moves the box. The zoom box can be resized by dragging the corners of the box. A double-click in the center of the box zooms in to the current boundaries of the box. A single-click outside the zoom box moves the box to that location. An extend-click inside or outside of the zoom box zooms out by a factor of two. Alternate-click exits the pan and zoom tool.
The following keyboard interaction is enabled if the figure containing the map axes is made the active window.
Pressing the Return key sets the axes to the current zoom box and remains in pan and zoom mode. The Enter key sets the axes to the current zoom box and exits pan and zoom mode. Pressing the Esc or Delete keys exits pan and zoom mode.
