The Navigation tab controls details of how the navigation works. It has the following option:

Zoom Factor

Controls the factor by which each zoom action zooms the plot. Moving this slider to the left/right makes the mouse more/less sensitive (one wheel click or dragging a fixed distance has more/less zoom effect).

The Range tab provides manual configuration of the data range of the plot. Making changes to this tab will reset the visible plot range, but not vice versa - zooming and panning in the usual way will not change the settings of this panel. Any values not filled in will be determined from the data. The fields are:

Cube Edge Length

Specifies the dimension along each side of the view cube in data units.

X/Y/Z Center

Gives the position of the center of the view cube in data coordinates.

The Clear button resets all the fields.

The View tab can configure how the cube containing the data is viewed in the plot window, though it does not control the content of the cube.

Zoom factor

Sets the magnification of the cube wireframe itself, without affecting the data volume it contains. This cannot be done with the mouse.

X/Y offset of centre

Controls where on the screen the cube wireframe is centred. This cannot be done with the mouse.

The Grid tab configures the appearance of the cube wire frame enclosing the data volume.

Draw wire frame

Whether the enclosing cube is drawn at all.

Minor Ticks

If set, minor (unlabelled) tick marks will be drawn between the major (labelled) ones.

Tick Crowding

Use the slider to influence how many tick marks are draw on the axes.

Antialiasing

Controls whether grid lines will be drawn antialiased (smoothed) or not. This option does not affect plots exported to vector formats.

The Font tab configures the font used for axis annotation. It also affects some other things like the legend.

Text Syntax

How to turn the text into characters on the screen. Plain and Antialias both take the text at face value, but Antialias smooths the characters. Antialiased text usually looks nicer, but can be perceptibly slower to plot. At time of writing, on MacOS antialiased text seems to be required to stop the writing coming out upside-down for non-horizontal text. LaTeX interprets the text as LaTeX source code and typesets it accordingly.

Font Size

Size of the font in points.

Font Style

Style of the font.

Font Weight

Whether the font is plain, bold or italic.
