Working with manuscripts - Tools and aids

In the view of a single page of a digitised manuscript, you can move the manuscript either with the scrollbars on the right and at the bottom or using the mouse. If you want to move the manuscript with the mouse, place the mouse cursor at any point of the manuscript, press the left mouse button, hold it down and move the manuscript with the mouse.

 

Following tools are available:

Zooming in and out: When you click on one of the magnifier symbols, the manuscript will be enlarged or reduced by one level. You can also select the desired enlarging or reducing percentage from the drop-down menu.

Rotating a manuscript: By clicking on one of the arrows, the manuscript will be rotated by 90° in the respective direction. You can also select the desired rotation from the drop-down menu.

Invert: By clicking on the "invert" button, the colour of the manuscripts will be replaced by their opposite (complementary) colours. This enables viewing details in the manuscript, which could be hardly legible. If the normal colours shall be restored, click again on the "invert" button.

Sharpen: By clicking on this button the manuscript will be sharpened, i.e. the edges and contours will be emphasised. If the normal image shall be restored, click again on this button.

Rulers: When clicking on this button, two rulers will be placed above the manuscript, providing an aid for measuring the manuscript horizontally and vertically. If you want to move the rulers, place the cursor at any point and press the left mouse button, hold it down and move the ruler with the mouse. If the rulers shall be hidden, click again on the "rulers" button.

Arrows: Using the arrows enables navigating within the pages of a manuscript. The arrows with a vertical bar to the left or right switch to the first or last page respectively. The previous or the next page is shown by clicking on the single arrows. Double arrows appear in manuscripts consisting of more than ten pages; using the double arrows you can jump ten pages forward or back.

Overview: By clicking on this button, the single view will be closed and an overview of all manuscript pages will be shown. Here you can see all manuscript pages as small images at a glance.

Browse: This button takes you to a manuscript view, in which you can browse as in the original booklet. Two manuscript pages are shown on one screen.
The tools "overview", "enlarge/reduce", "sharpen" as well as the arrows are available for browsing.
