Tom Fennelly commented on JBIDE-5696:
-------------------------------------

Eh... depends on what you mean by "picture".

At the moment we can scroll the whole canvas as a single "entity".  The mapping source and target are all on the one canvas.  If we want to map something at that's positioned at the bottom of the source model to something that's positioned at the top of the target model (which are both on the same single canvas remember) and the source and target models are too big to fit in the viewing area of the single canvas.  Result... impossible to perform the mapping without moving everything around on the canvas to get the source and target nodes into the viewing area.

If the source and target models were on separate canvases, which were individually scrollable, then you can move each model (source and target) independently until the desired source and target nodes are both in view, allowing you to perform the mapping.  See the screencast (above).

> For large templating target models, it will be very difficult for the user to map onto the model without the ability to scroll the target model in the window while maintaining the position of the source in the view window.
