For general comments on plot navigation, see Appendix A.4.2.1.
Additional configuration options are available in the Navigation
tab of the Axes control.
The navigation actions for this window are:
-
Left drag
-
Pan.
On the body of the plot this moves it around up/down/left/right.
To move it only vertically, drag on the left of the Y axis.
To move it only horizontally, drag below the X axis.
You can configure dragging on the body of the plot to be only vertical
or horizontal by setting the Pan/Zoom Axes in the
Navigation axis configuration tab.
-
Right drag (CTRL-drag)
-
Stretch zoom.
On the body of the plot,
dragging up/down stretches/squashes the plot vertically, and
dragging left/right stretches/squashes it horizontally.
To zoom only vertically, drag on the left of the Y axis.
To zoom only horizontally, drag below the X axis.
Zooming horizontally will normally adjust the width of the histogram
bars appropriately.
Normally, the zoom will be centered horizontally at the mouse position
and vertically on the X axis, so the zoom will not move the bottom of
the histogram. You can adjust that with the Anchor X/Y Axis
options in the Navigation axis configuration tab.
-
Wheel
-
Isotropic zoom.
Spinning the mouse wheel forwards/backwards will zoom in/out
just like dragging with the right button up-and-right or down-and-left.
You can also manually fix the plot bounds using the Range
tab of the Axes control.
