Description

Our application uses dcc.Graph to render images. Currently, the zoom feature maintains the aspect ratio of the full-resolution image. Is it possible to configure the graph component to permit drag zooming of arbitrary aspect ratios? One consideration is that the behaviour would be separate from scollZoom as scrolling would have to maintain the current aspect ratio

Research direction

Start by tracing how dcc.Graph handles image zooming and how the existing scrollZoom behavior is configured. Compare the current fixed-aspect drag zoom with the requested arbitrary-aspect behavior, while preserving the separate scrollZoom constraint; done means drag zoom can use arbitrary aspect ratios without changing scroll zoom.
