In d3.js, you can zoom in on a path by using the zoom behavior and attaching it to an SVG element that contains the path. Here's how you can do it:

  1. First, create a zoom behavior using d3.zoom():
1
2
3
4
5
var zoom = d3.zoom()
    .scaleExtent([1, 10])  // Set the minimum and maximum scale levels
    .on("zoom", function () {
        svg.attr("transform", d3.event.transform);  // Apply the zoom transform to the SVG element
    });


  1. Next, attach the zoom behavior to an SVG element that contains the path you want to zoom in on:
1
2
var svg = d3.select("svg")
    .call(zoom);  // Attach the zoom behavior to the SVG element


  1. Finally, you can apply the zoom behavior to the path by selecting the path element and defining the path's behavior during the zoom:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
var path = svg.append("path")
    .attr("d", "M10 10 L50 50 L100 10")  // Example path data
    .style("stroke", "black")
    .style("fill", "none");

// Define how the path should behave when zooming
function zoomed() {
    path.attr("transform", d3.event.transform);
}

// Call the zoom behavior on the SVG element
svg.call(zoom);


With these steps, you can zoom in on a path in d3.js by applying the zoom behavior to an SVG element that contains the path.
