opened.
To use this tool, first select it from the zoom menu button. Then click in the graph
window and hold the mouse button to define one edge of the desired X-axis region.
Drag the mouse cursor to the other edge of the desired region and note that a fixed
vertical dotted line appears where the original click occurred, and another follows
the mouse cursor. When the cursor is positioned at the other edge of the desired
region, release the mouse button. The X-axis scale adjusts to show only the selected
region.
