Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand default toolbar limits
The default toolbar zooms and pans freely on both axes; setting fixed limits only restricts view but not zoom/pan behavior.Step 2: Use event handlers to control zoom/pan
To restrict zoom and pan only on x-axis, you need to connect event handlers that limit y-axis changes during zoom/pan.Final Answer:
Use the default toolbar and connect event handlers to limit zoom and pan on y-axis -> Option DQuick Check:
Event handlers control axis zoom/pan limits [OK]
Quick Trick: Use event handlers to restrict zoom/pan axes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Thinking fixed limits block zoom/pan completely
- Disabling toolbar unnecessarily
- Confusing x and y axis limits
