    • In the toolbar, click Fit Chart in Window.
    • Select View > Fit Chart in Window.
    • Press the End key.
    The entire chart is displayed in the window, shown at the largest possible scale which enables all the chart items to be shown in your window.
    Note: Hidden items are not taken into account when fitting the view to the window.

    • In the toolbar, click Fit Selection in Window.
    • Select View > Fit Selection in Window.
    • Press the Ctrl + End keys.
    The chart is redrawn at a scale to allow all the selected items to be displayed in your current window. The view of the chart is centered on the selected item or items.
    • In the toolbar, click Fit Height in Window.
    • Select View > Fit Height in Window.
    • Press the Shift + End keys.
    The chart is redrawn at the maximum zoom level in which the top and bottom of the chart can be seen in the same window. The chart is centered on the last location you clicked. The chart height is determined by the topmost and bottommost item. These items might not be visible when you fit height to the window if they are at the left or right edge of the chart.
    Note: Hidden items are not taken into account when fitting the height to the window.
