Viewing Area
Viewing Area is the field of the Workbench Window where images of the surface, volume or whole brain are displayed, or in Chart View, where chart data is displayed.

- The image or chart displayed is set for each Viewing Tab, unless Tile Tabs view is on (see View Menu), which displays images/charts for all tabs within a single viewing area.

- The default placement of the surface or volume is in the center of the viewing area and, in Surface View, rotation is about the center of gravity of the surface.

- Mouse Controls of the display are only active in the viewing area (when in View Mode).

- Use the Reset button in the Toolbar to return to the default zoom, pan, and orientation.

- The default background is set to black, but this can be changed to any color in the Preferences: Color tab.

- In Tile Tabs view (see View Menu):

- Click on the tab names or press Command/Ctrl + left and right arrow buttons to switch the Toolbar and Overlay Toolbox to control each tab's display options. A box will appear briefly around the Active Tab "tile" in the viewing area.

- Mouse controls operate independently for each "tile", unless Viewing tabs are yoked (see Tab Functions).
