Rubber zoom
In this mode, you can perform "rubber" zooms:
Rubber XYs in the graph area
Rubber X in the X axis area
Rubber Y in each Y axis area (see Y axis synchronization)
Rubber Ys in Y axes area
Rubber Z in the Z axis area (in 3D graph)
This is done by using the left mouse button + mouse move + release:
The mouse cursor will be different if the cursor is in graph area or in axis area:
| Graph area | ||
|---|---|---|
| Axis area |
Note
When the mouse cursor is over an axis, the axis is highlighted to show explicitly that the zoom will be constrained to this axis.
A rubber zooms, in case of a Y constraint looks like:
Zoom +/-
In this mode, you have access to the zoom in/out:
Zoom +/- XY in the graph area
Zoom +/- X in the X axis area
Zoom +/- Y in each Y axis area
Zoom +/- Ys in Y axes area
Zoom +/- Z in the Z axis area (in 3D graph)
Using the + / - keys:
Or using the Mouse Wheel:
