Zooming a list plot without writing code

I would like to know if it is possible to simply zoom in or zoom out on a list plot without writing code.

I've read topics where they give code to add a scrollbar or something similar, but I just want to zoom using my mouse.

Isn't this possible?

• Just click on the output a drag a corner to resize the plot. Alternatively, open the toolbar beneath a plot and click on image size. – David G. Stork Mar 2 '17 at 18:51
• You can make the plot larger as stated in the comment above, but you can't retain the size of the plot and zoom in without using some code. – Jack LaVigne Mar 2 '17 at 18:54

Yes, it is possible, so long as you don't demand to retain (add) a frame or axis on an arbitrary part of the plot. That is if you are satisfied to zoom in on only a portion of the graphic, perhaps one that crops off the tick marks and labels.

To do that click on your graphic to reveal an orange frame with handles:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 6 Pi}]


Hold Ctrl and drag one or more of the handles to select the part of the plot that interests you:

Now release Ctrl and drag a handle to resize at will:

Click off of the graphic and the frame will disappear:

Actually I think the real answer to your question is no, it isn't possible.

You will have to write a bit of code to get what (I think) you want. That is not terribly complicated and you can find example code elsewhere on this site.
