D 2.3 Draw area

The draw area is the user's actual working area for creating and editing displays. It is located
between the main menu line or toolbar and the status line and fills the entire screen widthwise.
With the toolbox switched on, the visible draw area may be restricted as a result of overlapping.
Using the zoom function it is possible to zoom in or out on a section of the display being edited.
The Overview function is used to display an area corresponding to 9x the draw size. The actual
draw area is shown in the center, marked with a border.
The coordinates on the draw area run from left to right and from top to bottom. The coordinate
origin is at the top left-hand corner. The coordinates of the moving graphics cursor are shown in
the toolbox. In addition, the coordinates are used to indicate the position of display objects in the
parameter dialogs and are shown there.
