Try RSiteSearch("zoom plot").  There are some good suggestions there.

Cheers

Francisco

>
>Double-clicking over an axes returns the axes to its initial zoom setting.
>
>zoom off turns interactive zooming off.
>
>zoom out returns the plot to its initial zoom setting.
>
>zoom reset remembers the current zoom setting as the initial zoom setting.
>Later calls to zoom out, or double-clicks when interactive zoom mode is
>enabled, will return to this zoom level.
>
>zoom toggles the interactive zoom status.
>
>zoom xon and zoom yon set zoom on for the x- and y-axis, respectively.
>
>zoom(factor) zooms in or out by the specified zoom factor, without 
>affecting
>the interactive zoom mode. Values greater than 1 zoom in by that amount,
>while numbers greater than 0 and less than 1 zoom out by 1/factor.
>
>zoom(fig, option) Any of the above options can be specified on a figure
>other than the current figure using this syntax.
>
>Remarks
>
>zoom changes the axes limits by a factor of two (in or out) each time you
>press the mouse button while the cursor is within an axes. You can also
>click and drag the mouse to define a zoom area, or double-click to return 
>to
>the initial zoom level.
