chartjs-plugin-zoom

Configuration

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

plugins: {
    zoom: {
        // 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
            // A function that is called as the user is panning and returns the
            // available directions can also be used:
            //   mode: function({ chart }) {
            //     return 'xy';
            //   },
            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
            },

            // On category scale, factor of pan velocity
            speed: 20,

            // Minimal pan distance required before actually applying pan
            threshold: 10,

            // Function called while the user is panning
            onPan: function({chart}) { console.log(`I'm panning!!!`); },
            // Function called once panning is completed
            onPanComplete: function({chart}) { console.log(`I was panned!!!`); }
        },

        // Container for zoom options
        zoom: {
            // Boolean to enable zooming
            enabled: true,

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

            // Drag-to-zoom effect can be customized
            // drag: {
            //      borderColor: 'rgba(225,225,225,0.3)'
            //      borderWidth: 5,
            //      backgroundColor: 'rgb(225,225,225)',
            //      animationDuration: 0
            // },

            // Zooming directions. Remove the appropriate direction to disable
            // Eg. 'y' would only allow zooming in the y direction

            rangeMin: {
                // Format of min zoom range depends on scale type

                y: null
            },

            // Speed of zoom via mouse wheel
            // (percentage of zoom on a wheel event)
            speed: 0.1,

            // Minimal zoom distance required before actually applying zoom
            threshold: 2,

            // On category scale, minimal zoom level before actually applying zoom
            sensitivity: 3,

            // Function called while the user is zooming
            onZoom: function({chart}) { console.log(`I'm zooming!!!`); },
            // Function called once zooming is completed
            onZoomComplete: function({chart}) { console.log(`I was zoomed!!!`); }
