The GlobalViewGraph displays a miniature view of the main graph. The entire graph is scaled to fit into the area of the GlobalViewGraph for a quick overview of all the modules and connections contained within the graph.

Contained within the GlobalViewGraph is a viewbox (red rectangle) that represents the current viewable area in the main graph. The user can also control the view in the main graph by interacting with portions of the global view. By clicking on a point on the global view, the main graph will center it's viewport on the selected point.

Shift+Drag on the global view will move the viewbox around and synchronize the main graph viewport as well.

Dragging on the global view will draw a box that zooms the main view to match the rectangular area drawn. The dimensional ratio of the rectangle drawn is restricted to match the ratio of the main viewport.
