Zooming and panning only change the view. They do not change the board and are not part of the history.

== Zoom ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Action !! How
|-
| Zoom at the pointer || Hold <code>Ctrl</code> and turn the mouse wheel. The point under the pointer stays in place.
|-
| Zoom in, zoom out || The magnifier buttons in the toolbar. Each click changes the zoom by a factor of 1.25, centered on the middle of the view.
|-
| Back to 100 % || Click the zoom level between the magnifier buttons.
|-
| Fit to window || The ''Fit to window'' button. The whole board fits into the view. Small boards are enlarged.

* The zoom level ranges from 5 % to 1600 %.
* The toolbar shows the current zoom level, for example <code>89 %</code>.
* When a board is opened or reverted, it is fitted into the view. A board that is smaller than the view is shown at 100 % and is not enlarged.
* From 200 % on, pixels are shown as sharp squares, so you can see single pixels.
* All sizes on the board, such as the pen size or the pointer position in the status bar, are in board pixels and do not depend on the zoom level.

== Pan ==
When the board is larger than the view, you can move the view:
* drag with the '''middle mouse button'''
* hold <code>Space</code> and drag with the left mouse button. The pointer turns into a hand.
* use the mouse wheel without <code>Ctrl</code>, or the scroll bars

Panning works everywhere on the board, also over a floating image.
