# Options

The options for chartjs-plugin-zoom should be placed in options.plugins.zoom in chart.js configuration.

The options are split in three sub-objects, limits, pan and zoom.

const chart = new Chart('id', {
  type: 'bar',
  data: {},
  options: {
    plugins: {
      zoom: {
        pan: {
          // pan options and/or events
        },
        limits: {
          // axis limits
        },
        zoom: {
          // zoom options and/or events
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

# Pan

# Pan Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
`enabled`	`boolean`	`false`	Enable panning
`mode`	`'x'`\|`'y'`\|`'xy'`	`'xy'`	Allowed panning directions
`modifierKey`	`'ctrl'`\|`'alt'`\|`'shift'`\|`'meta'`	`null`	Modifier key required for panning with mouse
`scaleMode`	`'x'`\|`'y'`\|`'xy'`	`undefined`	Enable panning over a scale for that axis (regardless of mode)
`overScaleMode`	`'x'`\|`'y'`\|`'xy'`	`undefined`	Enable panning over a scale for that axis (but only if mode is also enabled), and disables panning along that axis otherwise. Deprecated.
`threshold`	`number`	`10`	Minimal pan distance required before actually applying pan

# Pan Events

Name	Arguments	Description
`onPan`	`{chart}`	Called while the chart is being panned
`onPanComplete`	`{chart}`	Called once panning is completed
`onPanRejected`	`{chart,event}`	Called when panning is rejected due to missing modifier key. `event` is a Hammer event (opens new window) that failed
`onPanStart`	`{chart,event,point}`	Called when panning is about to start. If this callback returns false, panning is aborted and `onPanRejected` is invoked

# Zoom

# Zoom Options

Name	Type	Default	Description
`wheel`	`WheelOptions`		Options of the mouse wheel behavior
`drag`	`DragOptions`		Options of the drag-to-zoom behavior
`pinch`	`PinchOptions`		Options of the pinch behavior
`mode`	`'x'`\|`'y'`\|`'xy'`	`'xy'`	Allowed zoom directions
`scaleMode`	`'x'`\|`'y'`\|`'xy'`	`undefined`	Which of the enabled zooming directions should only be available when the mouse cursor is over a scale for that axis
`overScaleMode`	`'x'`\|`'y'`\|`'xy'`	`undefined`	Allowed zoom directions when the mouse cursor is over a scale for that axis (but only if mode is also enabled), and disables zooming along that axis otherwise. Deprecated; use `scaleMode` instead.

# Wheel options

Name	Type	Default	Description
`enabled`	`boolean`	`false`	Enable zooming via mouse wheel
`speed`	`number`	`0.1`	Factor of zoom speed via mouse wheel
`modifierKey`	`'ctrl'`\|`'alt'`\|`'shift'`\|`'meta'`	`null`	Modifier key required for zooming via mouse wheel

# Drag options

Name	Type	Default	Description
`enabled`	`boolean`	`false`	Enable drag-to-zoom
`backgroundColor`	`Color`	`'rgba(225,225,225,0.3)'`	Fill color
`borderColor`	`Color`	`'rgba(225,225,225)'`	Stroke color
`borderWidth`	`number`	`0`	Stroke width
`drawTime`	`string`	`beforeDatasetsDraw`	When the dragging box is drawn on the chart
`threshold`	`number`	`0`	Minimal zoom distance required before actually applying zoom
`modifierKey`	`'ctrl'`\|`'alt'`\|`'shift'`\|`'meta'`	`null`	Modifier key required for drag-to-zoom
`maintainAspectRatio`	`boolean`	`undefined`	Maintain aspect ratio of the chart

# Draw Time

The drawTime option for zooming determines where in the chart lifecycle the drag box drawing occurs. Four potential options are available:

Option	Notes
`'beforeDraw'`	Occurs before any drawing takes place
`'beforeDatasetsDraw'`	Occurs after drawing of axes, but before datasets
`'afterDatasetsDraw'`	Occurs after drawing of datasets but before items such as the tooltip
`'afterDraw'`	After other drawing is completed

# Pinch options

Name	Type	Default	Description
`enabled`	`boolean`	`false`	Enable zooming via pinch

# Zoom Events

Name	Arguments	Description
`onZoom`	`{chart}`	Called while the chart is being zoomed
`onZoomComplete`	`{chart}`	Called once zooming is completed
`onZoomRejected`	`{chart,event}`	Called when zoom is rejected due to missing modifier key. `event` is a Hammer event (opens new window) that failed
`onZoomStart`	`{chart,event,point}`	Called when zooming is about to start. If this callback returns false, zooming is aborted and `onZoomRejected` is invoked

# Limits

Limits options define the limits per axis for pan and zoom.

# Limit options

Name	Type	Description
`x`	`ScaleLimits`	Limits for x-axis
`y`	`ScaleLimits`	Limits for y-axis

If you're using multiple or custom axes (scales), you can define limits for those, too.

const chart = new Chart('id', {
  type: 'line',
  data: {},
  options: {
    scales: {
      y: {
        min: 20,
        max: 80,
      },
      y2: {
        position: 'right',
        min: -5,
        max: 5
      }
    },
    plugins: {
      zoom: {
        limits: {
          y: {min: 0, max: 100},
          y2: {min: -5, max: 5}
        },
      }
    }
  }
});

# Scale Limits

Name	Type	Description
`min`	`number \| 'original'`	Minimum allowed value for scale.min
`max`	`number \| 'original'`	Maximum allowed value for scale.max
`minRange`	`number`	Minimum allowed range (max - min). This defines the max zoom level.

You may use the keyword 'original' in place of a numeric limit to instruct chartjs-plugin-zoom to use whatever limits the scale had when the chart was first displayed.
