What you actually want to change are the ranges of the plot and not the start and the end values of the axes. For this, select the plot and modify the ranges. In LabPlot the user can define/have multiple axes. So, you first define the ranges of the data to be plotted (or keep it to "auto") and then start adding axes. On default, we create axes with "auto fit" which automatically adjust to the plot ranges. But the user can add in addition new axes which cover only a certain region with different formatting (labels, number of ticks, scaling, etc.). Though being very flexible, this concept is hard to grasp for people who have worked with applications only that do not support an arbitrary number of axes. So, simply change the plot ranges and you should get a behavior you're familiar with. > > Quick-and-easy but still powerful is definitely our goal.

Panning is on the TODO-list already. We'll add this feature soon.

Producing results that are ready to be exported and used in publications is one of the main emphasis of the application, yes. The export is done via the export dialog. But we also support other workflows like working with live data, analysis of imported data (ascii, binary, HDF5, netCDF, FITS), working with different computer algebra systems, etc. You can check the recent couple of blogs and the release announcements (2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 releases) on our homepage to get some ideas about the feature set of the application - https://labplot.kde.org/ . The blog http://krajszgsoc.blogspot.de/2017/07/live-data-features-alive-in-labplot.html shows some features for plotting of live data. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
