## Interactively specify a region of a plot for expansion

### Description

Interactively specify a region of a plot for expansion

### Usage

    zoom(quiet=FALSE,out=FALSE,...)

### Arguments

`quiet` | If false, prompt the user to enter two coordinates. If true, say nothing.
`out` | If true, expand the limits of the current plot by a factor of three, centred on the current plot.
`...` | Other arguments are passed through to pointmap.

### Details

A prompt is optionally displayed, and the user selects two points forming the diagonal of a rectangle. A new, empty plot is created that has its axis limits set to the bounding square of the selected rectangle. If `out=TRUE`, no prompt is displayed, and a new blank plot is created with its limits in x and y set to span an area three times the height and width centred on the current centre.

### Value

None
