Besides simply changing the magnification of the graph, you can view an array in various ways:

To rotate the graph (for area graphs only), do one of the following:

• Put the pointer on the graph and press the right mouse button. A cube appears with a box in one corner to mark the origin. Drag the cursor to reposition the cube. Release to view the graph.
• Type values in the Axis Rotation spin boxes to spin the graph around its X, Y, or Z axis. Valid rotation values range from 0 to 360.
• Click on the up or down buttons on any or all of the Axis Rotation spin boxes (the boxes from left to right correspond to the X, Y, and Z axes).

You can change the perspective of a particular view by diminishing or exaggerating the view.

To change the perspective, do one of the following:

• Enter a value from -10 to 10 into the Perspective Depth spin box.
• Click on the up or down buttons on the Perspective Depth spin box.

To resize the image:

Click Magnify or Shrink to increase or decrease the size of the graph in 50% increments.

You can enlarge a specific area of the graph by placing the pointer on the graph and selecting a portion of it. To select an area, Shift+click and drag diagonally.

To return a graph to its original size and position:

Click Reset View.

To see options for the graph type (surface, contour, line, scatter, and more), range steps, display of expanded array name, and update options, click Show Options. For information on these options, see Customizing the Array Display.
