gnuplot: multiplot zooming

Question

I am searching for a zoom option in multiplot in gnuplot. I am able to do zooming in normal gnuplot using set mouse zoomjump. But it does not work in multiplot. Any ideas about how I can zoom in multiplot? I am sending commands from my C++ program to gnuplot.

Thanks

You can only zoom in on the most recent plot in the multiplot. See this quote from the gnuplot manual in the Mouse section:

Mousing is not available inside multiplot mode. When multiplot is completed using unset multiplot, then the mouse will be turned on again but acts only on the most recent plot within the multiplot (like replot does).
