[neutron-mc] mcdisplay zooming

[Emmanuel Farhi]

Hy again Robert,

We have also ssen that the Zoom buttons do not work on 3D plots. This
behaviour is the one of Scilab, and we do not see any working 3D zoom
possibility yet.
To zoom on an instrument part, select the first and last component to
view in the Xscilab dialog (the one with many buttons).

Emmanuel.
