Example: Zooming and Panning

The following image shows a graph in its normal state (indicated by the solid rectangle under the Data Scrolling menu). In the graph, each data group (bar) represents one car.

The next graph shows an enlarged area after zooming in on the bar for BMW. Notice that the large solid rectangle in the right panel now appears as a grid with only one solid column.

To pan across groups of data, with the graph in the zoomed state and Data Scrolling selected from the Graph menu, drag the solid column that represents the zoomed data to pan across all of your data.

or

Click the thin shaded bar at the bottom of the graph to view other areas of your graph in a zoomed state. Note that this method of panning is available when subsequently running the graph, provided that it was saved in its zoomed state.
