motion percentage, but you can also select a group of events or a period from the event histogram area and show it
on the display area.

Area Selection Indicator
In the main playback window, the display area is surrounded by a blue rectangle. This rectangle is the area selection
indicator. This indicator can be set to either display area or histogram area, as long as you move your mouse cursor to
the area you intend to select. When you select the display area, the display adjustment tool will appear in the control
area. If you select the histogram area, the display adjustment tool will disappear and the searching range adjustment
tool will be shown in the same place of the control area.
