Invert wheel direction for natural scrolling?

keegandonley commented 2 years ago

On many Mac computers, the scroll direction is inverted from the standard on a Windows machine. Scrollable charts don't seem to respect this when scrolling vertically. Is it feasible to preserve the natural scrolling behavior inside a chart?

Technically, this is not only Mac-related. It's how we treat wheel in panY situation. It's currently inversed on how OS wheel scroll works, even on Windows.

We will consider if we could just flip the direction of panY so it's consistent with the OS behavior.

Ah, I only develop on my mac so didn't realize the underlying reason. Thanks for the quick response, that would be a big help as I'm currently using the pan as a vertical overflow-style scrolling so it would feel much more natural

Fixed in 5.1.5.

[5.1.5] - 2022-02-22

Added

minSize setting added to Flow (Chord and Sankey) series. It's a relative value to the sum of all values in the series. If set, this relative value will be used for small-value nodes when calculating their size. For example, if it's set to 0.01, small nodes will be sized like their value is 1% of the total sum of all values in series.

Changed

Direction of vertical panning with mouse wheel in an XYChart was inverted to make it consistent with OS native scrolling direction.

Fixed

Fixing ES6 module detection by BundlePhobia (Issue 294).
Parsing of dates using "i" format was not working properly when no milliseconds were supplied.
Using minZoomCount and maxZoomCount on a GaplessDateAxis was not working properly.
Sometimes vertical XYChart scrollbar was not reacting to chart's pan via mouse drag or wheel.
Using mouse wheel on a chart that was setup to pan was also zooming in/out in addition to pan.
In some cases grid on GaplessDateAxis was not being placed properly. Grid and Label placement improved.
ForceDirectedTree could freeze when used with Animated theme in some cases.
Changing of baseInterval on DateAxis was not properly working in some cases.
In some cases, when no animated theme was used, a state on a Sprite was not applied.
Setting data on MapSeries after geoJSON was updated was not working properly which resulted heat rules not to be applied.
It was difficult to make a selection close to the start/end of plot area on RadarChart.
When XYChart was fully zoomed in, using mouse wheel would start panning the chart instead of zoom.
