Hand-drag cursor

Issue #25 on hold
Robert Leach created an issue

Either a button or radio button or modifier key which changes the arrow cursor to an open hand that allows you to click-and-drag the matrix around.

    I am putting this issue on hold. Implementing this isn't hard, but it's not possible for TreeView until the code responsible for drawing/ displaying the data is refactored.

    There are a lot of dependencies involved (Observers etc.) that rely on the fact that only whole tiles can be displayed in GlobalView. TreeView was initially written this way and this paradigm propagated throughout the code base (affecting labels, dendrograms, MapContainer/ selection). Any smooth movement or zooming operations are therefore not possible. They will always appear jerky and ugly. Tiles just seem to jump around and the user loses track of what he was looking at.

    I think hand-drag could appear just as smooth as scrolling does. Might be worth a try.
