If you want all three with fluctuations, then you'll need to play with the plotting program's functionality for representations and axes (for xmgrace). See http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/How-tos/Graphing_Data for various ideas on plotting.

Zooming is of course an option. I for one find it helpful to inspect the 
energies as a function of time to get an idea of the convergence time 
for certain properties and to detect any wierdness in my setup that may 
have ruined my simulations.
