Hi Haje,
To zoom a NG plot, you can either use the scroll wheel on your mouse or hold down the shift key and left mouse button to draw a zoom box. Note: these works for me on Linux, I'm not sure how they map to a Mac.

Thanks, David. I understand that all this can be coded. You have done
it and even I have done this several times with my more limited
skills :-) But the new graphics system is supposed to make IDL easier
to use, so I was hoping for an internal way to solve this. I have the
feeling there may not be one, so I will use your solution as a backup
as it is more universal than my stuff. Cheers, haje

Thank you!!!! Indeed shift+left click works. Now the $64k question, is
this documented and if so where?
