Pinch-to-Zoom in Stock Charts — JS Chart Tips

March 5th, 2025 by AnyChart Team

A stock chart with pinch-to-zoom functionality and JavaScript codeStock charts are designed to handle large volumes of time-based data, and smooth navigation is key to working with them effectively. One common need is zooming — whether to focus on a specific time range in greater detail or to get a broader view of the data.

In our JavaScript stock charts, zooming works out of the box through the scroller element, which appears by default as the main navigational UI control, making it easy to adjust the visible range on the go. For even greater flexibility, the range selection UI provides extra tools like preset time period buttons and date input fields. You can also activate zooming via mouse wheel scrolling with the zoomOnMouseWheel() method, which corresponds to the two-finger swipe gesture on touchpads and trackpads.

Pinch-to-zoom is another intuitive zooming option. It allows users to zoom in and out naturally on mobile and touch devices by moving two fingers farther apart or closer together. This is also easy to implement — and it is exactly what we cover in this edition of JS Chart Tips. Learn how to add pinch-to-zoom to your JavaScript stock chart!

How to Make Bubble Maps in JavaScript

November 16th, 2022 by Shachee Swadia

Bubble Maps in JavaScript HTML5Map charts are a great way to put data in a geographical context. And they are not difficult to create! I am eager to demonstrate that by walking you through the creation of a bubble map, one of the most popular types data maps, with the help of JavaScript.

A bubble map is a combination of a bubble chart and a geographical map. It uses circles of different sizes (and sometimes colors) to indicate numeric values relating to locations or territories.

In this tutorial, I will be visualizing the data on gasoline prices across the United States. They saw record highs this summer after a surge fueled by the outbreak of the Russia–Ukraine conflict. The first, basic bubble map will display the gas prices in July by state. The final one will add the magnitude of the change since February 23, one day before Russia launched an attack on Ukraine.

Follow along and you’ll learn to build beautiful interactive maps in JS with ease and no problem!
