This sounds vaguely familiar. Is the problem just that the axes aren't being reset? That is, if you change the limits in the plot to zoom out (you may have to use the zoom/magnifying glass to do it manually) will it appear?

[Gabriel-p]

Zooming has no effect. I also have no way of controlling the dataset as you can see in the lower left corner, there's nothing there:

BTW, other views work just fine:

Sorry, I meant zooming out (right-click and drag the magnifier tool). The data lie between x (-250, +250) and y (0, 300).

[Gabriel-p]

You are correct, there it is! I'll close this issue now. Do you know why I don't get any options to edit the data (size, font, limits, axis, legend, etc)?

Thank you BTW!

Also if you don't mind, could you tell me how to make a simple scatter plot? I've been trying to get one to plot all morning and nothing. I need to generate three scatter plots and a simple histogram but I can't get past generating even a single scatter plot

[jfoster17]

Simple viewer options come later in the tutorial. Most of the other customization options actually require a bit more logic on the backend and you would need to use a full custom viewer.

I'm going to re-open this issue if you don't mind -- we should fix this bug so that simple custom viewers resize to the data.

Maybe I don't understand what you want, your "BTW, other views work just fine:" comment includes a screenshot of a scatter plot (with a categorical variable on one axis, but still).

I was referring to making a scatter plot in the custom view, but I've figured it out already. Thank you!
