I didn't have any plans to implement them, as I didn't know about them until I looked them up on Wikipedia just now. I'll consider implementing them, but I'm not sure if it will happen soon. > Next, Do you have any ideas about zooming ? (zooming a plotting region) ? This can already be done programmatically (see Figure.xlim() and Figure.ylim()), but is not exposed yet via the default plot window GUI. This will be exposed when I decide how I want to expose it. The most obvious answer is dragging, but the question then becomes, how do you zoom back out?
