I'm using the new graphics in IDL 8.2 to produce plots of my data, e.g.
p = plot(mydata_x, mydata_y, ...etc...)
Is there a way to use the mouse wheel to zoom only in one direction
(either the X or Y axis) ?
Thanks,
Giorgio.

Great idea Giorgio!
I just added this to IDL 8.3. I made it so if you have say the X axis selected, and then you use the mouse wheel, it will only zoom in that direction. Same thing for the Y axis.
For now, as a workaround, you could hold down the shift key and use the left mouse button to draw a zoom box, and just zoom into your desired region. Not perfect, but it will work. Or you could do it programmatically by doing "p.xrange = [0,10]"
Cheers,
Chris
