About the Zoom Control
The Zoom Control element imparts a magnification feature to Chart Canvas.
As shown above, at runtime users can use the mouse to draw a selection area on the canvas and the canvas will be"zoomed in" on the selected data. A "Reset Zoom" button is also displayed, which will return the canvas to its original magnification.
The Reset Zoom button only appears when the mouse cursor is hovered over the upper right-hand corner of the chart.
The appearance of the Reset Zoom button can be styledusing the Reset Zoom Button and Reset Zoom Button Hover Style child elements.
The Zoom Control is not available for Series.Funnel, Series.Pie, orSeries.Pyramid.
