Question
In a figure window toolbar, there are spyglass icons that let you zoom in and out on parts of an image or plot. I'd like to know how to do this programmatically.

There is a function "zoom" with the following options :
 
 zoom on 
 zoom off

 zoom reset 
 zoom xon
 zoom yon
 zoom(factor)
 zoom(fig, option) 
 h = zoom(figure_handle)
