If your version of gnuplot supports it (>= 3.8, I think...), you can have some
mouse zooming functionality. From octave:
octave:1> __gnuplot_set__ mouse
octave:2> plot(1,1)
Now you can double click in the plot window to copy the current mouse
coordinates to the X buffer. The middle button will paste the text coordinates
into a document or terminal window. The right mouse button can select a region
for zooming. The middle button places a point at the cursor.
In older version of octave, the syntax is:
gset mouse
Just thought this might come in handy!
Somewhere or another I read that I could put
set mouse
in my .gnuplot file in order to be able to use the mouse for zooming.
Then I discovered/read that 'a' (that is, the 'a' key) restored the
plot to it's full size (the right mouse button only zooms in, not out,
AFAIK) and that 'g' toggles a grid.
