| How To Get Around A High-Res IPIX Image (For Help With Java Images See Java Guide) |
||
Ready to get the whole picture? Make the most of your IPIX image viewing experience by familiarizing yourself with this brief key. |
||
| The first
thing you'll notice when you're inside an IPIX image is that your cursor
becomes a hand icon. To move inside the IPIX image, HOLD DOWN your
left mouse button and point the hand icon in the direction you wish to move.
Hint: The hand icon drives the IPIX image slowly if held near the center of the image. The closer the hand gets to the edge of the image, the faster the IPIX image moves. |
||
| The magnifying glass with the plus symbol appears when the cursor is slightly above the center of the IPIX image. When you see this icon, HOLD DOWN your mouse button to zoom closer into the IPIX image. | ||
| The
magnifying glass with the minus symbol appears when the cursor is slightly
below the center of the IPIX image. When you see this icon, HOLD
DOWN your mouse button to zoom further out of the IPIX image.

Other IPIX Image Icons | |
Many IPIX images are multimedia enhanced with music, narration, automations, and URLs. Each type of media is signified by its own special icon. |
||
| Door icons
appear when a link to another IPIX image is available. Double-click doors
and you're on your way. |
||
Speaker icons appear when an audio link is available. Double-click speakers to hear narration or music. |
||
Television icons appear when linking to an automation is possible. Double-click televisions for automatic action and independent movement. |
||
Computer-to-computer icons appear when links to URLs exist. Double-click computer-to-computers to visit another Web site or Web page. |
|
|
Keyboard Navigation | |
If a mouse isn't hooked up to your machine or you just prefer keyboard navigation, don't fear. IPIX images are fully functional with standard key strokes. |
||
| A
crosshair icon will appear in the center of the image when using the arrow keys
to move left, right, up, or down in an IPIX image. To move quickly, HOLD
DOWN the arrow key which points in the direction you wish to move. HINT: To activate a link, such as a door or speaker, position the crosshair icon over the desired link, then press ENTER. |
