Adjusting the scale of an axis
- On any vertical axis, pressing and holding the right mouse button while dragging adjusts the scale of all vertical axis. This can also be used to adjust the time axis.
- While hovering the mouse cursor over a vertical axis, scrolling the mouse wheel will adjust the scale all vertical axis. This can also be used to adjust the time axis.
- While hovering the mouse over the graph background and holding SHIFT, scrolling the mouse wheel will adjust only the time axis.

When adjusting the scale of an axis, the location of the mouse cursor on the axis or graph background will be used as a center point. For instance, if the mouse cursor is hovering over a specific data point, then that data will stay close to the mouse cursor as the scale of the axis is adjusted.
