Notes

Zooms (centers and magnifies) the specified region of a display window. /ZOOM will operate on a display that has been formed by an explicit graphics action command (APLOT, EPLOT, etc.). /ZOOM has no effect on an “immediate” graphics display. When /ZOOM is executed, the display is automatically replotted such that the specified zoom region is centered and sized to fill the window.

Auto resizing is disabled when you issue the /ZOOM command. To restore auto resizing, issue the /AUTO command, or select FIT from the Pan, Zoom, Rotate box.

This command is valid in any processor.
