Curve Tool: Scrolling

It is often difficult or undesirable to fit the entire curve or set of curves in the Graph view at once. Therefore, you will need to scroll at times to view other parts of your curves. The Curve Tool supports the standard scroll bars, but also offers several special ways to scroll to help improve your productivity.

Scrolling in the time (or master position) direction in the Graph View will affect the velocity and acceleration plots if they are enabled (see Showing Velocity and Acceleration for details), but scrolling in the position direction will not affect these plots, since their zero line is fixed at the center of the Graph view window.

It is expected that the user knows how to use the standard Windows scroll bars, but the additional scrolling methods are described below:

Centering on the Pointer in the Graph View
If you can see the location you want to work on, then you can center on that location with a single keystroke.

To center on the pointer:

Position the pointer over the location on the Graph view that you want centered.
Press C. This will scroll the display to center on the pointer.

Scroll While Zooming in the Graph View
Similar to centering on the pointer, you can also use the Zoom In and Zoom Out commands from the keyboard to zoom in or out and center on the pointer at the same time. See Zooming In and Out for details.
Auto Scrolling in Both Views
When you are dragging points or the selection box in the Graph view, or dragging to select cells in the Spreadsheet view, then approaching the edges of the Curve Tool will start the view scrolling automatically. This is useful to move points farther than or select cells beyond what can be seen with the current view.
