#### Manipulating Charts

Here are some operations you can do when you work with charts in the ReportViewer application.

Chart Operation | Operation Description | Performing the Operation
Zoom in and out (traditional zoom) | This zooms in and out on a portion of the chart. This is more like using a magnifying glass. The graphical lines and dots increase in size as you zoom in. This type of zoom does not affect the printout in anyway. It is mainly used for viewing purposes only. | To Zoom In: Hold down CTRL and push your mouse's scroll wheel away from you. Depending on the chart type, the ReportViewer may take a little while to process the zoom request. To Zoom Out: Hold down CTRL and pull your mouse's scroll wheel toward you. Depending on the chart type, the ReportViewer may take a little while to process the zoom request.

You can also use the Zoom In or Zoom Out icons on the toolbar.

Zoom in and out on just one chart | This zooms in on one particular chart, causing it to fill the width of the screen. This helps increase visibility when you have a chart with many data points since it increases the distance between individual data points when the chart expands.

This type of zoom affects the printout. The printout includes the expanded chart.

Double-click on a chart to size the chart to fill the page. Double-click on it again to reset the chart to its default size.
