Zoom Extents Modifier 3D

SciChart iOS 3D provides the ability to zoom-to-fit the entire 3D chart by double-tapping it via the SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D, available out of the box.

Besides common features which are inherited from the SCIChartModifier3DBase class, the SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D allows to control its specific features via the following properties:

SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D.resetTarget - defines the SCIVector3D target where the ISCICameraController.target is moved on reset.
SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D.resetPosition - defines the SCIVector3D target where the ISCICameraController.position is moved on reset.
SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D.executeOn - allows to specify the trigger action for the modifier via the SCIExecuteOn enumeration.
SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D.autoFitRadius - When YES, attempts to auto-fit the camera radius to fit the scene. When NO - uses the resetPosition and resetTarget instead.
SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D.animationDuration - defines the animation duration in NSTimeInterval for any zoom operations.

NOTE: There are several modes defined by the SCIExecuteOn enumeration, such as Single Tap, Double Tap, Long Press, and Fling.

There are two modes of operation for the SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D - AutoFit and Manual:

Operation Mode	Description
`autoFitRadius = YES`	Tries to automatically fit the 3D scene into the viewport. `ISCICameraController.target` and `ISCICameraController.position` properties are ignored.
`autoFitRadius = NO`	You should specify the precise coordinates for the `ISCICameraController.target` and `ISCICameraController.position` properties.

Adding a SCIZoomExtentsModifier to a Chart

Any Chart Modifier 3D can be added to a SCIChartSurface3D via the ISCIChartSurface3D.chartModifiers property and SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D with no difference:

// Assume a surface 3D has been created and configured somewhere
id<ISCIChartSurface3D> surface;
// Create a Modifier
SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D *zoomExtentsModifier3D = [SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D new];
zoomExtentsModifier3D.executeOn = SCIExecuteOn_DoubleTap;
zoomExtentsModifier3D.autoFitRadius = NO;
zoomExtentsModifier3D.resetPosition = [[SCIVector3 alloc] initWithX:200 y:200 z:200];
zoomExtentsModifier3D.resetTarget = [[SCIVector3 alloc] initWithX:0 y:0 z:0];
// Add the modifier to the surface
[self.surface.chartModifiers add:zoomExtentsModifier3D];

// Assume a surface has been created and configured somewhere
let surface: ISCIChartSurface3D
// Create a Modifier
let zoomExtentsModifier3D = SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D()
zoomExtentsModifier3D.executeOn = .doubleTap
zoomExtentsModifier3D.autoFitRadius = false
zoomExtentsModifier3D.resetPosition = SCIVector3(x: 200, y: 200, z: 200)
zoomExtentsModifier3D.resetTarget = SCIVector3(x: 0, y: 0, z: 0)
// Add the modifier to the surface
self.surface.chartModifiers.add(zoomExtentsModifier3D)

// Assume a surface 3D has been created and configured somewhere
IISCIChartSurface3D surface;
// Create a Modifier
var zoomExtentsModifier3D = new SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D();
zoomExtentsModifier3D.ExecuteOn = SCIExecuteOn.DoubleTap;
zoomExtentsModifier3D.AutoFitRadius = false;
zoomExtentsModifier3D.ResetPosition = new SCIVector3(200, 200, 200);
zoomExtentsModifier3D.ResetTarget = new SCIVector3(0, 0, 0);
// Add the modifier to the surface
Surface.ChartModifiers.Add(zoomExtentsModifier3D);

NOTE: To learn more about features available, please read on the Chart Modifier 3D APIs article.

Programmatically Zoom to Extents

You can also run Zoom to Extents functionality programmatically without adding SCIZoomExtentsModifier3D. The SCICamera3D object which is associated with SCIChartSurface3D provides the following methods which you can call whenever you need to zoom the chart to fit:
