Setting axes range in function graphics [message #87765]

I am embarrassed to ask this simple question, especially since I already asked it a couple of years ago (but I can't locate the question/answer in Google groups).

How does one set the axis range in function graphics? I know you can set the xrange property

IDL> p = plot(indgen(10))
IDL> p.xrange = [2,6]

but how does one do this graphically? If I double click on the plot, or click on the "Properties..." button, I get a list of properties but axis range is not among them. Similarly, if I click on one of the axes I get a list of axis properties but axis range is not among them. There is a "Reset Axis Range" button which is great, if I could ever figure out how to set the axis range in the first place.

Ideally, I would be able set the X/Y ranges using the cursor (i.e. draw a box over the desired plot range), though I don't remember this capability being mentioned in the previous answer.

Thanks, --Wayne
