To zoom in or out in a graph:

 

1.Move the cursor over a graph axis or plot area, and hold down Ctrl (Win) Option (Mac). The cursor changes to a zoom-in cursor.
2.Click on an axis to expand the graph around that point or drag a rectangle around the area you want to focus on (the rectangle expands, filling the plot area).

Holding down Shift as well reverses the process, making you zoom out.

Return to the original all-points state by choosing Graph | Rescale Graph Axes or by re-selecting the plot type from the pop-up menu in the graph.

You can see how it works in the movie Zooming in Graphs.
