image link icon Direction

The first thing a Windows user will notice when inside a Java IPIX™ image is that the cursor becomes a 4arrow icon. To move inside the IPIX™ image, HOLD DOWN your left mouse button and drag the 4arrow icon in the direction you wish to move.

Hint: The 4arrow icon drives the IPIX™ image slowly if held near the center of the picture. The closer the 4arrow gets to the edge of the picture, the faster the IPIX™ image moves.

To zoom further out of the IPIX™ image, HOLD DOWN your mouse button when the 2arrow icon is slightly below the center of the IPIX™ image.
