Zoom tool on the diagram area (zoom in all directions at the same time)

Left-click to increase the size of the display by the factor 2.

Right-click to decrease the size of the display by the factor 2.

Zoom tool on the coordinate axis (zoom in all directions at the same time)

Left-click to increase the size of the display by the factor 2 in the direction of the

coordinate axis on which you are pointing.

Right-click to decrease the size of the display by the factor 2 in the direction of the

deactivate the zoom function using the ESC key.

Zoom function on the diagram area

With activated zoom function, you can lasso a section of the diagram area that you

want to enlarge with the mouse button pressed.

Zoom function on the coordinate axis

With activated zoom function, you can lasso a section of a coordinate axis that you

want to enlarge with the mouse button pressed. The enlargement is in the direction in

which you lasso the section of the coordinate axis.

With this icon, you can restore the previous zoom setting.

With this icon, you can activate or deactivate the hand tool. You can also deactivate
