Infinite Canvas

The Infinite Canvas tool allows users to pan and zoom around the myViewBoard Whiteboard canvas. With this feature, teachers can place various lesson materials within one page and at the same zoom level, and then pan around the canvas to deliver creative and dynamic lesson content.

Infinite Canvas overview

1. Press Infinite Canvas  on the main toolbar.
2. Press it again (if not already selected).
3. The Infinite Canvas overview window will appear.

There are two primary uses for this overview window:

• Scenario 1:
  • You have created lesson material in different areas of the canvas, requiring an inconvenient amount of panning to an individual area.
  • Solution: Using the overview, pan around the canvas to desired objects.

Infinite Canvas is already selected, and user presses it again in the main toolbar. User then presses and drags in the overview window to quickly pan around the canvas.

• Scenario 2:
  • You have panned and zoomed in/out to a position far from your initial, central position on the page (perhaps where the primary lesson material stands).
  • Solution: Using the overview, press  to return the view back to the canvas's central point at 100% zoom level.

With Infinite Canvas selected, user zooms out and pans to the left of the canvas. They then press Infinite Canvas to open the overview window. Finally, they reset the position of the canvas by pressing the reset icon in the overview window's title bar.
