#18: ViewBox Plot Features
==========================

ViewBox features
****************

The **Plot Graphs** have a few configurable features which are accessible via
the so-called ``ViewBox`` menu which is available by *right-clicking*
on the plots widgets.

1. ``View All``

Triggering the **View All** option will auto scale the x and y axis of the plot.
The auto scale is active until the range of the plot is changed via mouse interaction or
configuration.

2. ``Reset Range``

The **Reset Range** option will reset the plot range of the plot. This can be either
auto scale or a configured range of the plot.

3. ``Log X/Y``

If suitable for the plot, a **logarithmic** toggle is provided on the ``ViewBox`` menu. The setting
of this option can be saved in the widget configuration in the project database.

4. ``Show data points``

For some plots it can be beneficial to see the **data points**. This is typically the case
for the trendline widgets, where this option is activated by default.
However, this is an expensive setting as a scatter plot is shown in addition
to the line plot consuming cpu processing time. Hence, this option cannot be stored in the widget configuration.
