Simple SVG zooming and panning

You can quickly add simple zooming and panning to any map or chart with using the d3.zoom() behavior. First, create an SVG group as a container for the zoomable map:

const globe = svg.append("g");

Then append the countries and the graticule to this object (they were previously appended on the SVG):

globe.selectAll("path.country") ...globe.append("path").attr("class","graticule") ...

You also need a component to capture the zoom events. It can be a background rectangle as follows:

const rect = svg.append("rect").style("fill", "none")        .attr("pointer-events", "all")        .attr("width", width)    // svg width        .attr("height", height)  // svg height        .call(zoomBehavior);

The zoomBehavior() function is created by d3.zoom()
