Panning — Shifting Your View of the Graph
You can move your view of a graph up and down as well as left
and right with the pan tool. Panning is useful when you have zoomed
in on a graph and want to translate the plot to view different portions.
Click this icon on the figure toolbar to enable panning
.
In pan mode you can freely move up, down, left or right, or you can
constrain movement to be vertical or horizontal only by right-clicking
and selecting one of the Pan Options from
the pan tool's context menu.
You can pan across both 2-D and 3-D views. 2-D panning has the
effect of changing the axis limits that you are viewing, but it does
not change the actual limits of the plot. For example, suppose you
have a time-series waveform that you want to zoom in on to view detail,
but you also want to be able to scan the entire plot.
3-D panning moves the axes with the object, because the 3-D
view is not aligned to the x-, y-,
or z-axis. The axes limits do not change as in
2-D panning.
