Details:

It would be nice to add horizontal and vertical zoom options to the plot
figure controls. This is a nice feature implemented in matlab (by a right
click option probably after selecting zoom in the figure widow if I remember
correctly. It is convenient for maintaining x or y limits while zooming;
whereas otherwise, if the axis limits are fit to the data, I typically end up
cutting a little off the top or bottom of the data using a box zoom on the
first zoom because zoom only starts by clicking inside the axis ( though it
can end outside the axis thus allowing some of the data range to be gained
back on a second box zoom).
