You typically set the XRange keyword to change the x values
that are plotted on the plot. You have to be careful, though,
since IDL will "autoscale" the axes. This is sometimes what
you want and sometimes not. If you want to turn it off, you
also have to set the [XY]Style keywords:

cgPlot, x, y, XRANGE=[20,64], YRANGE=[0,40], XSTYLE=1, YSTYLE=1

Sometimes, it is easier to just do this interactively by
drawing a rubberband box around the part of the plot you
want to "zoom into":

cgZPlot, x, y

Cheers,

David
