Moving about the graph

You can move about the graph ("pan") by any one of several methods.  Most involve the arrow keys on the numeric keypad, but often the quickest way of repositioning the graph is to click on it and "drag" the graph to the new position:

 

Key

Action

Left-arrow

moves the graph cursor left one sample

Ctrl-Left-arrow

moves the graph X-origin (the date-time at the left-hand edge of the visible graph) back one minor graticule.  Thus if the graph was zoomed such that each division on the X-axis was one minute, the left arrow key would move the graph one minute earlier in time.

Shift-Left-arrow

moves the graph X-origin (the date-time at the left-hand edge of the visible graph) back one major graticule.

Right-arrow

moves the graph cursor right one sample

Ctrl-Right-arrow

moves the graph X-origin (the date-time at the left-hand edge of the visible graph) forward one minor graticule.

Shift-Right-arrow

moves the graph X-origin (the date-time at the left-hand edge of the visible graph) forward one major graticule.

Up-arrow

increases the graph Y-origin (the temperature at the bottom edge of the visible graph) one minor graticule.

Shift-Up-arrow

increases the graph Y-origin (the temperature at the bottom edge of the visible graph) one major graticule.

Down-arrow

decreases the graph Y-origin (the temperature at the bottom edge of the visible graph) one minor graticule.

Shift-Down-arrow

decreases the graph Y-origin (the temperature at the bottom edge of the visible graph) one major graticule.

Home

positions the graph at the first sample.

End

positions the graph at the last sample.

Page Up

increases the graph Y-origin (the temperature at the bottom edge of the visible graph) by the height of the screen, i.e. it displays the next "page" up of the graph.

Page Down

decreases the graph Y-origin (the temperature at the bottom edge of the visible graph) by the height of the screen.

Mousewheel

using the mousewheel is the equivalent of using the up and down arrow keys - i.e. it scrolls the graph vertically.

Click and drag

moves the graph origin in step with the mouse cursor

Goto control

moves the sample cursor to an arbitrary sample position.
