Cursor Command Modes
A cursor command mode is a controlled protocol for
mouse and keyboard entry. In a command mode, you are limited in the
types of user interface actions that can be taken. Most or all of
your input is directed toward the particular command that is
active. In the Image Windows, several command modes are operated
from the column of buttons on the left end of the
Image Bar. There are two types of cursor used in Mira
Image Windows: the mouse pointer and the Image
Cursor.
-
The Mouse Pointer refers to the pointer
of the Windows interface. When moved inside an Image Window, it
takes on a shape that is dependent upon the particular mode.
-
The Image Cursor is an adjustable
crosshair or rectangle that is connected with the displayed image
and cannot move outside its bounds.
When a cursor mode is activated, mouse clicks are
tied to a specific type of action. For example, in Magnify
Mode, clicking the mouse on the image magnifies the image at
that point. When no command mode is active, the Image Window is in
"Roam Mode" in which the mouse cursor can roam around the image and
no specific command will be executed if you click on the image.

Tip
|
To exit any command mode and return to Roam
Mode, use the Ctrl+A image window
accelerator or click  on the Image Bar.
