Zooming and Scrolling in Graphs

If zooming and scrolling has been enabled for a graph, then the graph includes a Zoom icon. The zoom icon enables you to zoom in and out of a graph's plot area using its axes. Once you zoom in on an axis, you can scroll the axis.

To enable zooming and scrolling in a graph, the content designer sets the zoom and scroll properties in the "Graph Properties dialog: General tab."

When you zoom in on an axis, a zoom and scroll slider is displayed. Figure A-3 shows an example of a zoom and scroll slider.

Figure A-3 Example of a Zoom and Scroll Slider

This image is described in surrounding text.

A zoom and scroll slider consists of the following components:

To zoom and scroll in a graph:

  1. Hover the mouse over the graph to display the Zoom button.

  2. Click the Zoom icon and then:

    • If only one axis has zoom and scroll enabled, then select either Zoom In or Zoom Out.

    • If both axes have zoom and scroll enabled:

      • To zoom in and out and scroll on the X axis, select Horizontal Axis and then either Zoom In or Zoom Out. A zoom and scroll slider is displayed on the X axis.

        To unzoom the X axis and display the actual graph size, select Actual Size.

      • To zoom in and out and scroll on the Y axis, select Vertical Axis and then either Zoom In or Zoom Out. A zoom and scroll bar is displayed on the Y axis.

        To unzoom the Y axis and display the actual graph size, select Actual Size.

    • To unzoom both the X and Y axes and display the actual graph size, select Actual Size.

  3. Once you have zoomed in or out, zoom and scroll as desired by:

    • Using the Zoom button to zoom in and out incrementally

    • Dragging the scroll thumb on an axis to dynamically scroll the graph, revealing portions of the graph that are out of view

    • Clicking the scroll buttons on an axis to scroll left and right (on the X axis) or up and down (on the Y axis)

    • Using the resize handles to zoom in and out on an axis
