Description
Would make Empress usable for smartphones. Not really high priority, but it could be nice (Emperor already seems to work at least partially with smartphones, so this might go well with Empire plots).

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the linked HTML5 canvas touch-events article and locating Empress's existing zooming and panning entry points. Compare the behavior with the smartphone support noted for Emperor and consider how this applies to Empire plots. Done means Empress plots support usable touch zooming and panning on smartphones.
