Double Clicking on Dash App Does not Reset Axes

Hi @jayceslesar

Indeed, double-clicking results does not Reset Axes as it results in an “Autoscale” event. @jonasvdd & I decided to implement an Autoscale event as updating your y-range such that it shows all the data that is in your x-range.

Note: vanilla Plotly figures their Autoscale result in Reset Axes behavior, in our opinion this did not make a lot of sense. It is therefore that we have overriden this behavior in plotly-resampler.

I'm interested in hearing your opinion about this!

Cheers, Jeroen

This does make sense, looking at grafana's implementation of this feature, when zooming in on some data and then double-clicking it only zooms out on the set of points within your x-range. Maybe would want to add some functionality to do this where a developer could explicitly set this in place?

I'd like to have the default behaviour while double clicking, what would be the easiest way to achieve this? Thanks

I just discovered plotly-resampler and it's amazing - thanks for making this!

I was pondering this double click thing a bit. My sense is that it's good to keep as close to the original Plotly as possible because people will be very familiar with that most likely.

Resetting the graph is a very common thing to want to do and so this should be as easy as possible. Double click anywhere on the graph is much much easier than having the move the mouse over to find a small area on the screen where the home icon is to do the reset.

I do appreciate the desire to want to have the option to rescale the y based on the x range you're currently in. From what I can tell from my playing around, that's already being done by the auto-scale icon/button. So my feeling is that the rescale is less important than reset and so reset should be attached to double click and rescale should be left to the icon/button.

I hope that makes sense and adds something constructive to the discussion @jonasvdd .

Would be really nice if this functionality was optional, or at least possible to opt out of. I am trying to introduce plotly resampler to my team, but the double-click change is holding me back for the most part. We have been using plotly for 4+ years, so everyone in the team have gotten really comfortable with how default plotly works.

With plotly resampler, whenever i want to reset the graph, i double click out of habit, facepalm myself and go looking for the little home icon in the top right corner 😄

I love plotly-resampler! It is invaluable for my work with large timeseries data. I'm really confused about the rationale behind this, though. For me plotly-resampler is a tool to have intelligent downsampling of data. I don't understand why you would change the plotly UX. This is confusing for developers and users of the dashboard. I would really love if you could make this UX change optional.
