Linja Zax - Guidance
Gesture
The usage of Linja Zax plugin is very intuitive. Zooming is controlled by rotating a stylus or finger on zooming target point on the screen. The zoom is activated by panning the view with the stylus/finger in a circular motion. Rotating clockwise indicates zooming in, rotating counter clockwise indicates zooming out. Double tapping restores the original zoom level. As your gesture on the screen is fluent, the zooming and panning follows steplesly.
Enable/Disable
The extension can be enabled or disabled with a tap/click on the Linja Zax icon on the top toolbar.
The following parameters can be adjusted: Zoom steps in percentage (default 6), rotation angle threshold in degrees (default 2), Zoom mode angle limit in degrees (default 95) and the mouse move threshold in pixel (default 4). The default settings should be suitable for a smooth interaction.
Uninstall
As all Firefox plugins, Linja Zax can be simply removed by opening the Add-ons menu and choosing uninstall.
