Clicking the date shown on a Time Scale is equivalent to applying a zoom out operation in the period shown. Clicking and dragging a Time Scale is equivalent to the Pan option applied only to the Time Scale. Moving the mouse wheel over a Time Scale applies a zoom in or zoom out operation, depending on the rotation direction and the mouse focus.
