========
Viewlims
========

Creates two identical panels.  Zooming in on the right panel will show
a rectangle in the first panel, denoting the zoomed region.

.. note::
    This example exercises the interactive capabilities of Matplotlib, and this
    will not appear in the static documentation. Please run this code on your
    machine to see the interactivity.

    You can copy and paste individual parts, or download the entire example
    using the link at the bottom of the page.
