Zoom Graph

Zoom Graph Example

The Zoom Graph uses a line plot for each set of data inlcuded in both layers (sets of axes) in the graph, but it is possible to change the plot type for any data set to any of the following: line, scatter, line + symbol, column/bar.

View details for:
line | scatter | line + symbol | column/bar

How does it work?

A rectangle in the top layer has been coded (i.e. a script is attached to it) so that when you move it, the region defined by its borders is automatically displayed in the bottom layer. The rectangle can be sized differently to further restrict or expand the region to be displayed.
