D3 Examples - Zoom by Rectangle

Zoom by Rectangle
An example of setting x- and y-scale domains (zooming) by selecting a rectangular region using the mouse. The original question required that it work in tandem with d3.behavior.zoom for panning, hence the checkbox for switching on the “zoom by rectangle” mode.
