Hi Hamed-
Could you be a little more specific? How to enlarge which part of your graph?
I'll give some examples in the meantime. To enlarge the entire graph within the page you can click on any blank section within the axes and that should select the whole graph as a unit which can then be resized.
Similarly, if you right click and go to Plot Details, under Layer# and Graph#, there will be Size/Speed tabs, from these you can enter the dimensions for your graph. Just note however that by default layers are given in units "% of Page", so you'll need to change that if you want to resize the surrounding page without the graph adjusting to it.
Best regards

Imagine you have plotted stress versus strain.If you want to show linear part of curve, what can I do ?

Well, that depends.
If you want to show it on it's own, of course you can use the details dialog and select the range the linear section occurs. If you wanted to illustrate this difference in behavior between that and the final state, you could use a break if there was a large amount of data between them.
I'd recommend seeing-

Also if you want to change the range of your graph dynamically, I'd also recommend using the scale-in (zoom) and rescale (hand w/axes) buttons on the left hand side of the workspace to do this without going into the axis dialog. And lastly if you want to add an inset graph, I'd recommend reviewing this blog post-

Besides that it's largely a matter of what you feel you would best illustrate that stylistically. Hope this helps,
Ken |
