Gizmo- change camera zoom

Share icon

Hi there,

Sorry to bother you with what seems like a trivial problem, but I can't seem to figure it out. I've made a gizmo plot, and I would like to export it. However, my desired angle clips the bottom corner of one of my axes labels. I could just try a different angle or fiddle with the axes sizes, but it seems like there should be an obvious way to just change the scaling/zoom of the gizmo plot.

Thanks!

Joel
Also, is there a way to control the resolution of exported PICTs from Gizmo? The resolution seems limited right now by the size of the window, which limits it for publication purposes.

Joel,

if I understood it correctly, open the Gizmo Info window --> Display List --> append new operation --> Scale. Enter a scaling factor. Look at the display list and drag the scale item to the top of the list.

Hello Joel,

General scaling as suggested above would work. A slightly better way of doing this would be to insert an ORTHO operation at the top of the display list. By default all 6 ortho values are +-2. You can increase these symmetrically to say +-2.05 and it should do the job for you.

It would be really nice if this was controlled with the scroll wheel on the mouse, instead of a dialog box requesting 6 numbers (which in most cases will all be the same + or -).
