It would be cool if when you're in tied zoom, the zoom rectangle/zoom-'guide-line' was displayed in every plot that is tied.  Of course, if one of the tied plots wasn't currently showing an area (or part of the area) where the zoom rectangle/line would show, this would be not displayed as appropriate.

This would be very expensive in terms of the required redraws and (I suspect) potentially confusing when dragging the mouse to have a large number of rectangles all reflecting the motion simultaneously.
Comment 2 George Staikos 2006-06-16 21:42:59 UTC 
I don't think it will be expensive actually.  The zoom rect drawing isn't too 
bad, and it's a "user doing something, pause updates" action anyway.
Comment 3 Andrew Walker 2006-06-17 00:44:33 UTC 
So you think we should implement this?
Comment 4 George Staikos 2006-06-17 01:02:19 UTC 
  Only after Kst2DPlot is fixed.
Comment 5 Nicolas Brisset 2006-06-19 09:24:25 UTC 
Hum... I wonder whether that won't be too much distraction to the user's eye. If it's easy to implement, we may give it a try and wait for user feedback (and possibly make it optional ?).

This feature doesn't seem to offer much benefit but could well be overwhelming to the user.
