- Make a bar or histogram plot. To see it even more clearly, use a plot with bars *and* something else like scatter - for example http://localhost:3000/devtools/test_dashboard/#bar_line - Position your mouse over an axis end or corner dragger - anywhere the mouse cursor becomes a single-ended arrow - Drag. The scatter or other traces stay scaled correctly as the axis/axes zoom. The bar trace(s) don't, they just pan.
