panzoom

Extensible, mobile friendly pan and zoom framework (supports DOM and SVG).

Demo

Usage

Grab it from npm and use with your favorite bundler:

npm install panzoom --save

Or download from CDN:

https://cdn.rawgit.com/anvaka/panzoom/v4.0.0/dist/panzoom.min.js

If you download from CDN the library will be available under panzoom global name.

Pan and zoom DOM subtree

// just grab any DOM element
var area = document.querySelector('.zoomable')

// And pass it to panzoom
panzoom(area)

SVG panzoom example

<!-- this is your html file with svg -->
<body>
  <svg>
    <!-- this is the draggable root -->
    <g id='scene'> 
      <circle cx='10' cy='10' r='5' fill='pink'></circle>
    </g>
  </svg>
</body>
// In the browser panzoom is already on the
// window. If you are in common.js world, then 
// var panzoom = require('panzoom')

// grab the DOM SVG element that you want to be draggable/zoomable:
var scene = document.getElementById('scene')

// and forward it it to panzoom.
panzoom(scene)

If your use case requires dynamic behavior (i.e. you want to make a scene not draggable anymore, or even completely delete an SVG element) make sure to call dispose() method:

var instance = panzoom(scene)
// do work
// ...
// then at some point you decide you don't need this anymore:
instance.dispose()

This will make sure that all event handlers are cleared and you are not leaking memory

When user starts/ends dragging the scene, the scene will fire panstart/panend events. By default they will bubble up, so you can catch them any time you want:

document.body.addEventListener('panstart', function(e) {
  console.log('pan start', e);
}, true);

document.body.addEventListener('panend', function(e) {
  console.log('pan end', e);
}, true);

See JSFiddle console for a demo.

Ignore mouse wheel

Sometimes zooming interferes with scrolling. If you want to alleviate it you can provide a custom filter, which will allow zooming only when modifier key is down. E.g.

panzoom(document.getElementById('g4'), {
  beforeWheel: function(e) {
    // allow wheel-zoom only if altKey is down. Otherwise - ignore
    var shouldIgnore = !e.altKey;
    return shouldIgnore;
  }
});

See JSFiddle for the demo. The tiger will be zooomable only when Alt key is down.

Zoom Speed

You can adjust how fast it zooms, by passing optional zoomSpeed argument:

panzoom(document.getElementById('g4'), {
  zoomSpeed: 0.065 // 6.5% per mouse wheel event
});
