* Diagram alignment

[RogerF]

Currently, a FH diagram seems always to be displayed in the centre of a grey background corresponding to the number of sheets of paper needed to print the diagram. I would like to add two additional display alignment modes: Top-Left and Paperless.

In Top-Left mode, the grey background remains the same size, but the diagram is positioned as close to the top and left-hand edges as possible. This would make it easier to determine what changes are needed to reduce the number of sheets of paper, for example by adjusting the diagram's scaling.

In Paperless mode, the grey background's size is unrelated to sheets of paper; it's simply the smallest area needed to contain the diagram. I spent lots of time viewing and editing diagrams on screen, but hardly ever print them out. Paperless mode reflects this way of working, by reducing the overall size of the diagram and the lengths of the scroll bars.

For paperless mode, can't you simply turn off the page boundaries and avoid page boundaries?

[RogerF]

Yes, of course; I already work without page boundaries unless printing. The aim here is to reduce the overall size of the diagram, this making it easier to navigate.
