Requirements

Installation

npm install svgcamera

Usage

HTML:

<svg id="board" width="45%" height="80%">
  <g id="zoomablelayer"></g>
</svg>

JavaScript:

// After the <svg> is done with any sizing, create the camera, setting the 
// zoom in limit to 1 and zoom out limit to four times smaller than normal.
var camera = createCamera('#board', '#zoomablelayer', [0.25, 1]);

Now the user can pan by clicking and dragging or zoom with the mouse wheel or pinch gestures.

To pan to an element (that uses the transform attribute for positioning):

camera.panToElement(d3.select('#the-target'), 750);
