Change the View of a Plot
Using the Pan and Scale menu options, you can change the view of a plot.
Change the view of a 2-D plot
Click the plot to select it.
From the Plot menu, select Manipulator, and then Pan or Scale. Alternatively, click the Pan or Scale items in the 2-D Plot Toolbar, or right-click (Control-click, for Macintosh) the plot to activate the context-sensitive menu.
Click the plot. The appropriate mouse pointer for panning or zooming appears. Drag the mouse on the plot. Panning moves the plot view by changing the range. The plot origin moves, changing the limits of the axes. Scaling allows you to zoom in or out. The plot range is increased or decreased as you scale.
Notes: The curve is recalculated for smartplots, but curves created with the plot command will not resample.
Pan and scale features are not available for the plots[polarplot] command.
Change the view of a 3-D plot
From the Plot menu, select Manipulator, and then Pan or Scale. Alternatively, click the Pan or Scale items in the 3-D Plot Toolbar, or right-click (Control-click, for Macintosh) the plot to activate the context-sensitive menu.
Click the plot. The appropriate mouse pointer for panning or zooming appears. Drag the mouse on the plot. Panning changes the position of the plot in the anchored frame. Scaling increases or decreases the size of the plot. Note that the plot structure itself does not change.
