Looking at this again , I wonder if it can be done with macros. It would be easy to bind something to "Left" (or whatever key is prefered) but I dont see any exposed variables relating to the zoom window that could be tweeked by a gnuplot command. Can anyone suggest if there is a way to adjust the current zoom window parameters before calling replot? TIA. Peter. |
