Zooming range in noUISlider?

[trueclou]

Hi,
thanks so much for a really great slider! I really appreciate it!

One question and suggestion: I wonder is there an easy way to zoom in to the slider range, so that the range margins are outside the visible slider area? If one then pulls a handle to the visible edge, the scale should then scroll until the actual margin is reached.
I have not yet found a way to achieve this. The zoom factor could be handled by another control (e.g. another slider).

I have to deal with timeline data with a precision down to milliseconds. One should be able to place the handle with this precision. Unfortunately, the whole data set may last up to several hours. When the visible range represents the whole timeline, it is impossible to drag the handle this precise.
It would be great if there were an easy way to zoom into the scale, place the handle precisely and then zoom out again.

The coolest feature would be if noUISlider simply supported a zoom Method that zooms in to a given factor.
Just a dream... ;-)

Best Christoph

Hi! I'm glad the library is useful to you.

The zoom feature you describe isn't directly a part of noUiSlider, but I think you could implement it using the updateOptions method. When the external control changes your zoom, update the slider range to a smaller range around the current handle, and remove margins. When zooming back out, update again.

Well, I certainly considered this kind of solution. However, this won't provide scrolling when one reaches the visible margin.
Wouldn't this be an interesting feature for a lot of applications?
