Using the Display Window in a Visualizer

The display window shows the data being visualized.

In addition to using the data navigator to move through the data, you can drag the data itself relative to the display window by holding down the left mouse button; this provides finer control over the display of the data.

To find out the coordinates and value of a specific data element, click on it while pressing the Shift key. Its coordinates are displayed in parentheses, and its value is displayed beneath them. If you have set a context for the visualizer, you also see whether the element is active or inactive (see " Using the Options Menu"). Drag the mouse with the Shift key pressed, and you see the coordinates, value, and context of each data element over which the mouse pointer passes.

You can resize the visualizer to display more (or less) data either horizontally or vertically.
