Tip:
The View menu Zoom Box (
Q
), Zoom In (

), and Zoom Out (
E
) commands are the same as the Graph &
Table application Box, Zoom In, and Zoom Out commands on the Zoom menu. For more information about these

Configuring Geometry View Window Settings
You can use the following procedures to configure settings that control the appearance of the Geometry
application window.
Tap
O
, and then [View Window] to display the View Window dialog box. The
View Window dialog box allows you to configure the
x
-axis range of values.
The
y
mid value is used to center the Geometry window vertically. For example,
if we set
y
mid = 2, the
y
-axis will appear 2 units below the center of the
Geometry window.
The following are the allowable ranges for the indicated View Window
parameters.
