Time range zoom: zoom in on a trend while fixing y axis

Would like to have more functions to play around with a trend in Vision. Instead of drawing a box, it will be nice to have functionality like fixing in the middle and drag left or right to adjust the width of x axis while keeping the y axis range the same to zoom in on the time range of a trend.

    when zooming in on section of a trend, it would be nice to zoom in and not have scale change. maybe add functionality that if ctrl shift is used it highlights that time period from top to bottom so the scale does not change when it zooms in

    This is quite imporant for example when looking at stepped boolean values. It makes sense to then set the range on a trend from 0 to 1 (False to True). If I then want to zoom in on the time range, it is very difficult to still have the 1 Value displayed. This means that only the flanks are displayed (if they are still in the time range). I like the way that plotly (https://plot.ly/) solves this: If the rectangle you draw is very narrow, it then switches to only zooming in on one axis (the not narrow one).

    Amit, this is the MOST IMPORTANT zooming functionality you can have in a trending application. This should be the default zoom type. What is the point of taking care to set up the database min/max limits if every time I want to zoom in on a section of the trend they get screwed up. So I am forced to type in a start / stop time to zoom the trend chart without losing my y-axis limits? Christopher Rose is absolutely right about digital states; it's impossible to use the box-zoom to grab the upper and lower limits of the chart and include those lines. Then all you see is a bunch of vertical lines passing through the chart and I have to drop a ruler to determine the state.
