Custom zoom configuration

[SwayStar123]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the ctrl + scroll zooms in on both x and y axis at the same time, when trying to see granular candlestick data this is not ideal.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if I could add my own custom zoom logic, like regular scroll to zoom on the x axis, ctrl scroll to zoom on the y axis, etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Ive tried setting the bar width at a higher number, so that zooming would be unnecessary but its impossible to find a zoom level that works for every need

Additional context

Pretty much impossible to make any good use out of this chart with the current y axis zoom, only option is to zoom in on both axes and only view a small segment of the chart.

its not as important as a seperate x & y zoom but it would be nice if I could add a maximum and a minimum zoom level aswell as a log scale

Yep, I'd benefit hugely from being able to make check boxes for lock x zoom and/or lock y zoom so that I could zoom in one axis only. It'd also be nice to be able to specify ranges of x- and y-data to plot.

This would be of great help to me too! Any ideas anyone?

For my use case, I'd simply like to change zoom so it happens on regular scrolling, rather than ctrl + scrolling. A convenience method to zoom by a certain amount per each direction (around some centre point) would help me immensely, and would allow everyone to hook up whatever zooming behaviour they need. Sort of like the translate_bounds but for scale. Granted, they'd still need process the scroll deltas and mouse position themselves, but it would still be a lot friendlier than messing with set_plot_bounds.
A possible API could be pub fn scale_bounds(&mut self, scale: Vec2, centre: Pos2) where the components of the scale vector represent the amounts to scale x and y by. Or alternatively two separate functions scale_x/y_bounds(&mut self, scale: f64, centre: f64).

I opened a PR to address this issue. Any feedback would be appreciated. I included an example of how to customize the plot manipulation, but I am struggling with using Ctrl for scrolling instead of zooming. When Ctrl is down, the mouse Scroll event is automatically replaced by a Zoom event, so I don't know how to distinguish it from other Zoom events. If anyone knows of a way to get the mouse scroll delta regardless of modifier keys, that would be appreciated as well.
