Change the visible plot region by scaling to different elements of the display.
zoom(layerId = NULL, scaleToFun = NULL)numerical; which layer to scale the plot by.
scale to function. See details.
a ggproto object
Argument layerId is used for additional plot region settings.
If the layerId is set as NULL (default), the region of the
interactive graphics loon will be determined by the ggplot object
(i.e. coord_cartesian, xlim, etc);
else one can use scaleToFun to modify the region of the layer.
The scaleToFun is a function to scale the region.
If it is NULL (default), based on different layers, different scale functions
will be applied. For example, if the layer is the main graphic model, i.e. l_plot
l_hist, then the default scaleToFun is l_scaleto_plot; else
if the layer is a general l_layer widget, the default scaleToFun would be
l_scaleto_layer (see get_activeGeomLayers).
If it is not NULL, users can select one that precisely tailor their own
problems. The table shows the available scaleToFun functions
| scale to | Subfunction |
| plot | l_scaleto_plot |
| world | l_scaleto_world |
| active | l_scaleto_active |
| selected | l_scaleto_selected |
| layer | l_scaleto_layer |
Users can also supply their own function, providing its arguments match those of the functions shown in the above table.
