VSCode CairoMakie Zoom

Is there any way to zoom in VSCode for plots created by CairoMakie? I often visualize high resolution images with many annotations and I can’t seem to find any way to zoom in so I can see the details.

Bypassing VSCode and using something like GLMakie would work in theory, but the issue is my work VM is a potato without 3d acceleration. So I use VSCode remote development over SSH.

Works good for me.

You just save your figure produced by CairoMakie via save("f.pdf", f).
And then you check that pdf figure via VSCode extensions, e.g mine is LaTeX Workshop.
