  Fit, Zoom and Rotate

  You can select the zoom ratio your images will be displayed with, varying from 12% to 200%. To set the zoom ratio go to View menu and select a desired value. If the image area is larger than the screen you can view its parts by moving it with your stylus (a pan tool).

  Choose the Fit to Screen command to provide the best zoom ratio to make picture wholly fit to screen.

  For your convenience the Fit to Screen button has been placed on the toolbar as a separate tool.

  The Fill the Screen command does the following:

  - If a picture is larger than the screen in both dimensions, then it will be resized to fit the screen by at least one dimension (width or height). The whole picture may still be not shown, but the screen is filled up completely.
  - If a picture is smaller than the screen area by at least one dimension, it is not resized (Fill the Screen command doesn't increase image size).

  You can rotate every image 90 degrees to the right and to the left by selecting corresponding commands from the View menu. You can also apply 'Rotate if Needed' to your images. This command rotates an image in a predefined direction if its height is less than its width.

  The Zoom ratio, Fit to Screen, Fill the Screen and 'Rotate if Needed' modes are applied to all subsequently displayed images. The simple rotation must be applied to every new image, if needed.

  Note that both the Rotate and Rotate if Needed commands rotate your images only for displaying. They do not rotate the original images physically, just as the Fit to Screen and Fill the Screen commands do not change the image sizes. If you want to rotate an image physically, use the Rotate command of the editor.
