svgd3.js

d3js zoom and pan only works when mouse already over an element in svg


In my angularjs project I used d3js to build a collapsible tree, I used the code provided here.

Now I'm trying to add some simple zoom and pan functionality:

var initZoom = function () {
   var zoom = d3.zoom().extent([[0, 0], [width, height]]).scaleExtent([0.25, 10]).on('zoom', handleZoom);

   d3.select('#d3zoom').call(zoom);
};

var handleZoom = function (e) {
   d3.select('#d3zoom').attr('transform', e.transform);
};

The HTML:

<div id="d3">
   <svg id="d3svg">
      <g id="d3zoom"></g>
   </svg>
</div>

this works but only when my mouse cursor is already hovering over an item (like a node or a link) in the svg. However what I want is to be able to pan and zoom regardless of where my mouse cursor is as long as it is over the svg and so far I've been unable to figure out how.


Solution

  • You should create the zoom (and its event handlers) on the svg and then apply the zoom transform to a g that wraps your elements. A g element, without tricks, doesn't have pointer-events.

    var initZoom = function () {
       var zoom = d3.zoom().extent([[0, 0], [width, height]]).scaleExtent([0.25, 10]).on('zoom', handleZoom);
    
       d3.select('#d3svg').call(zoom); //<-- create here
    };
    
    var handleZoom = function (e) {
       d3.select('#d3zoom').attr('transform', e.transform);
    };

          // Rows are separated by dx pixels, columns by dy pixels. These names can be counter-intuitive
          // (dx is a height, and dy a width). This because the tree must be viewed with the root at the
