Scope
You can also move plots up and down by dragging their Y axis.
Use the center button to vertically center the selected plot.
The scope always activates the Y grid of the Y axis that the mouse hovered over last. The Y grid is also
adjusted when hovering over a plot in the plot list. This can be disabled by making a Y grid sticky with
the context menu of the axis as shown in Figure 9.
