Swipe Gesture for panning around on the Block Diagram and Front Panel

Status: Declined

Panning around the VI using the scrollbar is way too slow. Using the scroll wheel only goes vertical. The Pan tool is nice but I never switch over to it when I should. LabVIEW should support the swipe gesture on the Front Panel and Block Diagram. Swiping is a gesture done by clicking and "throwing" the canvas one way or another (kinda like minority report). The canvas keeps the virtual momentum of the swipe and continue to pan the screen until the user clicks or the screen slows to a stop. This interface is one of the main tennants in iphone navigation for panning through tables, around web pages, and really anything that is larger than the view.

I will kudo this just for the style and the look it will bring on the test based programmers face......

The Pan/Scroll function should be assignable to the middle mouse button "DOWN" position, how Visio/Mentor Capture have implemented it.

FPGA block diagrams are big as well.
