How it works

Short description:

  • Select the desired chart using the mouse

    • For Zooming in:

      • hold Ctrl key

      • Click left mouse key

      • Drag mouse along the chart to define the desired zoom area

      • Click left mouse key to apply zoom an the selected area 

    • For Zooming out:

      • Option no.1: Double click on the desired axis to zoom out by factor of 2​

      • Option no.2: Hold Alt key & double click on the desired axis to "Auto-scale"

    • For Scrolling:​

      • Hold Ctrl+Shift+left mouse key​

      • Drag mouse along the chart (x,y) to scroll

Full description:

1. Three options to zoom in:
Option 1a:

  • Hold the Ctrl key and click the mouse key while moving the mouse over the desired range that you want to zoom in. This will create a rectangular which defines the area were you want to zoom in. 

  • When you decided on the size and position of the rectangular,click again on the mouse button to launch the zoom in.

  • Option 1b: (secondary axis)

  • In case you have a secondary Y axis, first select the Y axis with the mouse (not double click) and then run the "Option 1a" procedure. In order to switch back to the Primary Y axis, select it and then run "Option 1a" procedure

Option 1c: (both primary & secondary axis)

  • If you are interested in zooming both axis's, select the plot area ( instead of Y1,Y2) and then apply "Option 1a" procedure 

Option 2: (zoom x2)

  • Holding the Shift+ALT and double click on the desired axis (X or Y1,Y2) U want to zoom in by factor of  x2

  • The position of the mouse arrow (when double clicking) will impact the center of axis

    • e.g. if the axis range is 0..1000 and U double click on 500 it will change the axis range 250..750. however, if you click on 1000 it will change the range to 500..1000 

Option 3: ("floating rectangular")

  • Every time the user selects the plot area, a Lens icon is formed on the top left corner of the chart. clicking on the icon forms a rectangular at the center of the chart

  • Move the rectangular and reshape it to the desired place.

  • double click on it to zoom

  • This option is very helpful in case of large data ( >50,000 point)

 

2. Zoom-out (two options):

Option 1: (Auto scale)

  • Zoom out to the original X or Y chart range by double clicking with the mouse on the desired axis to be zoomed out while holding the Alt key

Option 2: (zoom out X2)

  • Zoom out by a factor of 2 i.e. mini zoom out, is done by double clicking with the mouse on the desired axis to be zoomed out. 

 

3. Scrolling:

  • Scrolling in the X or/and Y direction is done by holding Ctrl, Shift and mouse key together while moving the mouse to the desired direction. 

4. Command bar:

  • Right click with the mouse outside the chart, pops up a standard roller bar with additional 5 options: Help, Enable, disable undo redo.
