Zoom In or Out in a Graph

To zoom in or out in a graph:

1. Move the cursor over a graph axis or plot area, and hold down Ctrl (Win) Option (Mac). The cursor changes to a zoom-in cursor.

2. Click on an axis to expand the graph around that point or drag a rectangle around the area you want to focus on (the rectangle expands, filling the plot area).

· Holding down Shift as well reverses the process, making you zoom out.

· Return to the original all-points state by choosing Graph | Rescale Graph Axes or by rechoosing the plot type from the pop-up menu in the graph.

You can see how it works in the movie Zooming in Graphs.
