        <title>Description</title>
        <para>
            <literal>zoom_rect</literal> function is used to perform a zoom inside a set of Axes Objects.
        </para>
        <para>
            The <literal>h</literal> input argument specifies on which Axes the zoom will apply.
            If <literal>h</literal> is a Figure handle then the zoom will apply on its Axes children.
            If <literal>h</literal> is a Axes handle then the zoom will only apply to this handle.
            If <literal>h</literal> is not specified, then the zoom is performed on the current Figure.
        </para>
        <para>
            If <literal>rect</literal> input argument is specified then the zoomed Axes <literal>zoom_box</literal>
            property is modified by the argument (see  <link linkend="axes_properties">axes_properties</link>).
            Its bounds along X and Y axis are replaced by <literal>rect</literal>.
            If <literal>rect</literal> is not specified zoom_rect is an interactive zoom. User is required to select
            a rectangle using the mouse. The new <literal>zoom_box</literal> property of zoomed axes are then computed
            by finding the intersections of the rectangle with their axes boxe.
