A few feature requests :)

1. Solve the problem where the lines are not displayed correctly when
   the axis limits after zooming are much smaller than the axis limits
   when the plot is first created. This has something to do with the
   backends not being able to handle negative coordinates.

2. Enable zooming in both X and Y with the mouse by allowing the user to
   choose a rectangle. This might behave like the matlab "zoom" function
   taking arguments like
        zoom xon
        zoom yon
        zoom
    I did a simple implementation of this for the GTK backend, but
    a more general implementation could be done easily depending on the
    already planned "Cursor read function" enhancement.
