The zoom procedure is activated after pressing and pulling out of an area on the diagram. Multiple zooming is possible. Zooming is only possible if the selected area covers at least one subdivision per axis.

Pressing the Rezoom button switches the zoom factor back in the steps in which it was previously defined.
