Description

This is a feature request for smith chart plotting. Smith chart plotting for impedance traces in RF electronic circuits is great in plotly. Here it is an example plot produced with such functionality:

Nevertheless, it lacks the basic pan & zoom capability that other plots have. In the case of smith chart:

Captura de pantalla 2024-02-14 a las 11 36 54

Where, for other scatter plots, we have the tooling for pan & zoom:

I assume adding these same tools to this smithchart plotting might be reasonable.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing scattersmith plotting behavior with the pan and zoom tooling available for other scatter plots. Trace the Smith chart interaction entry points and determine how those controls are enabled; done means Smith charts support usable pan and zoom interactions like the comparable scatter plots.
