 The zoom behavior implemented by d3-zoom is a convenient but flexible abstraction for enabling pan-and-zoom on [selections](https://github.com/d3/d3-selection). It handles a surprising variety of [input events](#api-reference ) and browser quirks. The zoom behavior is agnostic about the DOM, so you can use it with SVG, HTML or Canvas.

 The zoom behavior is also designed to work with [d3-scale](https://github.com/d3/d3-scale) and [d3-axis](https://github.com/d3/d3-axis); see [*transform*.rescaleX](#transform_rescaleX) and [*transform*.rescaleY](#transform_rescaleY). You can also restrict zooming using [*zoom*.scaleExtent](#zoom_scaleExtent) and panning using [*zoom*.translateExtent](#zoom_translateExtent).

 The zoom behavior can be combined with other behaviors, such as [d3-drag](https://github.com/d3/d3-drag) for dragging, and [d3-brush](https://github.com/d3/d3-brush) for focus + context.

 The zoom behavior can be controlled programmatically using [*zoom*.transform](#zoom_transform), allowing you to implement user interface controls which drive the display or to stage animated tours through your data. Smooth zoom transitions are based on [“Smooth and efficient zooming and panning”](http://www.win.tue.nl/~vanwijk/zoompan.pdf) by Jarke J. van Wijk and Wim A.A. Nuij.
