Zoom

The Zoom() command is an interactive command which helps examine a plot already on the screen in more detail. After running the zoom command two points are selected with the cursor to mark the lower and upper X and Y boundaries of the area to be zoomed. The zoom command works by re-displaying the selected region of data. As a result of this approach, the resolution of a zoom is only limited to the resolution set by the data or the current bin setting (see Alter/Binning).

Parameters:

/Errors

Display the resulting plot in the form of error bars.

/Histogram

Display the resulting plot in the form of a histogram (the default for bin-mode data).

/Line

Display the resulting plot in the form of a line plot (the default for point-mode data).

/Markers

Display the resulting plot in the form of marker symbols
