Hi Kayla, Yes both of these are easy, what you want is to set an “animation sequence” from the x menu. You can choose the end limits and also the limits for the colour bar at the end of the sequence. You can also select the endpoints for the sequence interactively by zooming in or out in interactive mode (on either the x and y axes and/or the colour bar) and pressing ‘e’. The starting limits are whatever is saved to the splash.limits file
