Implementing zoom and pan behavior
Zooming and panning are common and useful techniques in data visualization, which work particularly well with SVG-based visualization, since vector graphic does not suffer from pixilation as its bitmap counterpart would. Zooming is especially useful when you are dealing with large dataset when it is impractical or impossible to visualize the entire dataset, thus a zoom and drill-down approach needs to be employed. In this recipe, we will explore D3's built-in support for both zooming and panning.
