Description

If it's possible to add support for zooming in slong axes in 3d plot?

In go.Scatter3d, we can zoom in the entire canvas with mouse scrolling. But we can't zoom in along specific axes. This would be handy if we want to see a trend specific to one axis.

Research direction

Start by locating the JavaScript implementation of Scatter3d and its existing mouse-scroll zoom handling; the issue names no files or tests. Determine how axis-specific zoom should behave in a 3D plot, then verify that scrolling or an equivalent interaction can zoom along an individual axis without changing the entire canvas.
