Mouse button assignment
Spatix assigns specific functionality to the mouse buttons. Most of the assignments are hard-coded and can not be changed, such as the usage of the left and right mouse buttons. The middle mouse button (usually a wheel) can be used for different actions, like pan, zoom and snap. The snap functionality can be adjusted according to user preferences.
Workflow descriptions in this User Guide refer to the label of mouse buttons, if applicable. For example, "place a data click" means a single click on the left mouse button or "click reset" means a single click on the right mouse button.
