Description

Pen line

The mouse pointer looks like this when the pointer is on a pen. Clicking the mouse at this point selects the pen.

Pen line/pen background

The mouse pointer looks like this when the mouse is over a pen's background and both horizontal and vertical scrolling are enabled. Clicking and dragging at this point results in the free movement of the pen. Scrolling the mouse wheel results in horizontal-only movement.

Horizontal axis

The mouse pointer looks like this when the pointer is on the horizontal axis and horizontal scaling is enabled. Clicking and dragging (or scrolling the mouse wheel) will result in the axis being scaled.

Pen line/pen background

The mouse pointer looks like this when the pointer is on the horizontal axis and only horizontal scrolling is enabled. Clicking and dragging (or scrolling the mouse wheel) will result in the axis being scrolled.

Vertical axis

The mouse pointer looks like this when the pointer is on the vertical axis and vertical scaling is enabled. Clicking and dragging (or scrolling the mouse wheel) will result in the axis being scaled.

Vertical axis

The mouse pointer looks like this when the pointer is on the vertical axis and only vertical scrolling is enabled. Clicking and dragging (or scrolling the mouse wheel) will result in the axis being scrolled.
