Nice to have an interactive zooming / panning on plots.

Hi @alshan,

has there been any progress on this feature? It looks like the functionality is there with live_maps?
Possibly it's not suitable to be applied to the general case?

[alshan]

I'm planning this feature for Q4, is it important to you?

Possibly it's not suitable to be applied to the general case?
Yes, that's the case.

[boofhead]

Q4 would be great! Yes for us it's a really important feature. We are in the process of relocating our researchers to the cloud and would like to do a solution using docker and JetBrains projector but properly interactive plots are essential. Lets-plot is great and pan and zoom would save us a lot of dev effort.

[alshan]

We will get to it ASAP though I've no idea what is projector.

Any plan to have some progress here?

[alshan]

We've been doing significant code refactorings in relation to this feature. I hope we will have some progress by the `22 end.

I love this package. Thanks for the great work. Checking in on the ability to zoom.

[alshan]

@hathawayj , we are gearing up for it )

Just wanted to add my desire to see zoom-able, pan-able plots added to this excellent package

[alshan]

Hi all, please try pan/zoom in v4.9.0!

@alshan
Kotlin compose desktop it doesnt work

[alshan]

@dgandhi1-godaddy you are right, at the moment ggtb() only works in notebooks and in generally "web output".
We are planning to cover other envs in early 2025.

@alshan This might be the same answer, but should this be working in IDEA notebooks with the Kotlin Notebook plugin? I don't see the 3 tool buttons like I do in the example notebook

Also, it's really great to see this coming together. Thank you for all the work and info, it's appreciated :)

[alshan]

@BenWoodworth this is likely happening because in the latest release lets-plot switched to new integration framework with Kotlin Jupyter IDEA plugin and Swing output is now the default.
Try to execute: letsPlotNotebookConfig.swingEnabled = false in your notebook. This should switch the output back to html.

@alshan That did the trick, thank you so much! 🚀
