4.2 Rubberband

The rubberband interaction provides an alternative way of zooming in Atlantis. Unlike the ZMR interaction ( 4.1 Zoom/Move/Rotate (ZMR)) you may exactly specify the region you are interested in by simply drawing a rubberband around that region. The interaction is activated for the current canvas pad by clicking on the Rubberband tab of the interaction control ( 3.1.3. Interaction Control) in the Control Window.

If rubberbanding is activated, the panel below the rubberband tab shows a box from which you may select a rubberband type:

Draw a rubberband in the current canvas pad by clicking and then dragging with the left mouse button on the picture. When you release the mouse button a pop-up menu will appear near your mouse.

Now you may re-adjust the rubberband by moving any of its corners or (if applicable) middle points.

There are two options to apply the current rubberband:

Unzoom

After a rubberband has been applied, you may right-click in the canvas pad to get a pop-up Unzoom button. Click to undo the zoom. This works recursively.
