chartjs-plugin-zoom

A zoom and pan plugin for Chart.js. Currently requires Chart.js >= 2.6.0

Panning can be done via the mouse or with a finger. Zooming is done via the mouse wheel or via a pinch gesture. Hammer JS is used for gesture recognition.

Configuration

To configure the zoom and pan plugin, you can simply add new config options to your chart config.

{
	// Container for pan options
	pan: {
		// Boolean to enable panning
		enabled: true,

		// Panning directions. Remove the appropriate direction to disable 
		// Eg. 'y' would only allow panning in the y direction
		mode: 'xy',
		rangeMin: {
			// Format of min pan range depends on scale type
			x: null,
			y: null
		},
		rangeMax: {
			// Format of max pan range depends on scale type
			x: null,
			y: null
		}
	},
	
	// Container for zoom options
	zoom: {
		// Boolean to enable zooming
		enabled: true,

		// Enable drag-to-zoom behavior
		drag: true,

		// Zooming directions. Remove the appropriate direction to disable 
		// Eg. 'y' would only allow zooming in the y direction
		mode: 'xy',
		rangeMin: {
			// Format of min zoom range depends on scale type
			x: null,
			y: null
		},
		rangeMax: {
			// Format of max zoom range depends on scale type
			x: null,
			y: null
		}
	}
}

API

chart.resetZoom()

Programmatically resets the zoom to the default state. See samples/zoom-time.html for an example.

To-do Items

The following features still need to be done:

  • Pan limits. We should be able to set limits for all axes or for a single axis, identified by ID, that are the maximum and minimum values, in data values, that can be panned to.
  • Zoom limits. Similar to pan limits but for zooming
  • Panning of category scales (the ones that use strings as labels)
  • Zooming of category scales (the ones that use strings as labels)

Installation

To download a zip, go to the chartjs-plugin-zoom.js on Github

To install via npm / bower:

npm install chartjs-plugin-zoom --save

Prior to v0.4.0, this plugin was known as 'Chart.Zoom.js'. Old versions are still available on npm under that name.

Documentation

You can find documentation for Chart.js at www.chartjs.org/docs.
