Make the strokes as horizontal as possible and draw at least three strokes. If the height of the gesture increases, the number of back and forth strokes also needs to increase. |

Triangle |
Zoom Out |
Draw the triangle counter-clockwise in a single stroke, without lifting the pen. Make sure that the top of the triangle points upward. Draw the triangle clockwise to zoom in. In both instances, the triangle must be 'open'. A 'closed' triangle will select features instead of zoom. |
