ZoomExtentsModifier

SciChart.js provides the ability to Zoom Extents the entire chart (zoom to fit data) by double-clicking the chart area with the ZoomExtentsModifier📘, available out of the box.

Besides common features which are inherited from the ChartModifierBase class, the ZoomExtentsModifier📘 allows animated zooming via the isAnimated📘animationDuration📘 and easingFunction📘 properties.

Adding a ZoomExtentsModifier to a Chart

ZoomExtentsModifier📘 can be added to the sciChartSurface.chartModifiers📘 collection to enable zoom to fit behavior.

For example:

import { ZoomExtentsModifier, easing } from "scichart";

// Add Zoom Extents behavior
const zoomExtentsModifier = new ZoomExtentsModifier({
isAnimated: true,
animationDuration: 400,
easingFunction: easing.outExpo
});
sciChartSurface.chartModifiers.add(zoomExtentsModifier);

This results in the following behavior when double-clicking the chart:

Zoom to a Preset Range

If you would like the double-click to zoom to some preset range, rather than the data range, you can set zoomExtentsRange📘 on the axes.  In addition, if you are setting an initial visibleRange on an axis and would like zoomExtents to return to this range, you can just set zoomExtentsToInitialRange📘 true, which will set zoomExtentsRange📘 to the visibleRange passed in.

If you just want to have some space around your data, set growBy📘 instead.
