ZOOM Redraw a plot scaling to the cursor selected box. [/ERRORS] Redraw using error bars [/HISTOGRAM] Redraw as a histogram [/LINE] Redraw as a line plot [/MARKERS] Redraw as a marker plot example:

Note: A zoom can be undone by a Limits/Default command with no arguments
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).
