Common operations in Plot view

Plot view functionality that is common to many apps is described
in detail in this section. Functionality that is available only in a
particular app is described in the chapter dedicated to that app.
Press

P

to open Plot view.

Zoom

[Scope: Advanced Graphing, Function, Parametric, Polar,
Sequence, Solve, Statistics 1 Var, and Statistics 2Var. Also, to a
limited degree, Geometry.]
Zooming redraws the plot on a larger or smaller scale. It is a shortcut
for changing the range settings in Plot Setup view. The extent of most
zooms is determined by two zoom factors: a horizontal and a vertical
factor. By default, these factors are both 2. Zooming out multiplies the
scale by the factor, so that a greater scale distance appears on the
screen. Zooming in divides the scale by the factor, so that a shorter
scale distance appears on the screen.
