I have a plot like this using wgnuplot:
the green and blue are on y2 axis.
Question 1:
When I zoom using right mouse button I get:
The black line on yaxis is to compressed near top. How can I get the y scale to fit the data for this window at this point AUTOMATICALLY. I.e.e without me having to type range commands?
Questions 2:
Again, is there anyway to rescale/zoom the y2axis ALONE, by mouse?
Just press 'a' or click the autoscale button to adjust the y-scale. Maybe you want to use set autoscale xfix before that.
Its not by mouse, but you can use the bind command to rescale only the y2-axis with the hotkeys 'alt-z' and 'alt-y':
bind 'alt-z' 'set y2range[GPVAL_Y2_MIN*2:GPVAL_Y2_MAX*2]; replot'
bind 'alt-y' 'set y2range[GPVAL_Y2_MIN*0.5:GPVAL_Y2_MAX*0.5]; replot'

In my chart, Incomprehensible what value of Y axis belong to X axis, what the best way to present the chart clearly. Attached Image.
Have you considered using StripLines?
Taken from this MSDN article
To show vertical strip lines, right-click the horizontal chart axis and click Horizontal Axis Properties.
Select the Use interlacing option. Grey strip lines will appear on your chart.
Applying this to a chart will then alternate the colour for each category on the X axis, such as this. This will make it clearer which columns belong to which X axis category.
Update
For use with a 3D Clustered column chart you will need to set up the Striplines in a more complicated way.
Select your X axis and find StripLines in the properties. Hit the '...' to open a new window.
Add a New Member and set it up as shown in the below image. This is effectively saying show a line for every second number, and offset the stripline by 0.5 of a category.
In my example I have set the BackgroundColour to MidnightBlue also, which gives an output similar to
With this alternating background it should make it clearer for your users to see which columns belong to which category.
Let me know if you need further assistance with this.
I noticed that I can use the right button of the mouse in order to zoom in a plot in gnuplot, with the terminal X11.
I don't find any documentation for the other mouse gesture.
For example, it would be fine to do some zoom out!
Could you suggest this?
Best,
Al.
EDIT:
Apparently, the only possibility is to zoom in with the right mouse button and use the key p to come back, as Christoph suggested.
Yes, the documentation is not very clear about this. You can find some information about this under help mouse (type this in the interactive gnuplot terminal, or see the section Mouse in the pdf). This shows you for example, that you can use the mouse wheel for scrolling in x and y direction as well as zooming (help mouse scrolling).
To get all the gestures, type show bind, which gives me (Linux, 4.6.4):

I know this is an old post, but I've been having the trouble of the graph being too large for the gnuplot window (Version 4.6 patchlevel 6).
The solution I found was to hold down the scroll wheel and pan left or right to zoom out and in respectively.
Hope it helps.
I'm trying to recreate some flash shapes that appear on rollover upon a circle symbol. I'm needing to convert flash x and y points to the canvas coordinate grid. I figured out how to convert the circle coord points. However, the info I'm given for the shapes that appear on rollover make no sense to me.
For example, take this rollover point, where the dimensions refer to the registration point (little cross in the upper left):
x = 532.30
y = 30.35
w/h = 19.80
But based off this, the info I get for the rectangle that appears on rollover makes no sense:
x = -7.30
y = 17.30
w = 29.0
h = 16.5
I figured this meant that the rectangle's upper left point was 7.30 pixels to the left, and 17.30 pixels down from the registration point of the circle. Is that right? What origin are these x and y coordinates based off of?
The width and height are completely confusing to me though. The given width is 29.0, but this can't be right. If I get x and y coordinates just using my cursor, its clear that the rectangle is much wider than this:
564 - 521 = 43
43 != 29
Please help me understand the mysterious info box I'm being presented with for this rectangle. I just need to get some vanilla coordinates for it so I can draw it on the HTML5 canvas.
What origin are these x and y coordinates based off of?
These x and y coordinates are based off of the registration point of tab button.
43 != 29
When you work with symbols on a stage, the symbols that you're working with aren't the actual original Library symbol. They're copies that can be manipulated by scaling them, applying color and opacity effects and...
This instance of tab button is scaled, if you open library panel and edit tab symbol you can see the actual size.
UPDATE
after I change width and height of tab button to 19.80:
29*(150/100)=43.5
I use Octave with gnuplot under Windows.
I can zoom in using the right mouse button. But how can I zoom out from the UI?
I found this post on Nabble. Pressing p takes you to the previous zoom level, n to the next level, and u unzooms. I pressed h in a gnuplot window outside of Octave and got this command list:
2x<B1> print coordinates to clipboard using `clipboardformat`
(see keys '3', '4')
<B2> annotate the graph using `mouseformat` (see keys '1', '2')
or draw labels if `set mouse labels is on`
<Ctrl-B2> remove label close to pointer if `set mouse labels` is on
<B3> mark zoom region (only for 2d-plots and maps).
<B1-Motion> change view (rotation). Use <ctrl> to rotate the axes only.
<B2-Motion> change view (scaling). Use <ctrl> to scale the axes only.
<Shift-B2-Motion> vertical motion -- change xyplane

RS2008 - pie chart
I have 'outside' labels with lines pointing to the segment (although strangely this only appears to work in pdf output)
However (see pic below) the label is appearing outside the scope of the chart area
How can I force it to remain inside? (MinimumRelativePieSize is set to 70)
(pic below missing due to not being able to find an image host that isn't blocked by corp firewall)
Picture a pie chart of 25 slices, with radial lines that project through the sides.
The line from each slice then becomes horizontal, before disappearing outside.
(above actually fits tune of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds")
I set MinimumRelativePieSize to 50 and it seems to work ok.
I guess they need to implement a MaximumRelativePieSize property.
