Zoom out beyond graph

Hey,

First, thanks for the lib.

Is it possible to zoom out beyond the graph (I mean whatever is being plotted, the full series) fitting the window? Like most regular pyqtgraph plots would allow you to. Ideally I would like to arbitrarly zoom out, or in a trend move the graph so it doesn’t end in a corner and therefore doesn’t look too scary 😃

I’ve tried fiddling with auto range/limits, side_margin and right_margin_candles but can’t seem to make it work.

M-wheel zooming on the y-axis without reset would be simple to implement. My only concern then is that people might spend additional time y-zooming to get comfortable instead of spending that time analyzing (once they are accustomed to auto-zoom).

Or more broadly: is finplot a tool to allow you to do everything your way, or should it force you into doing it in the most efficient way in the long run.

Most libraries want the former, but I’m leaning towards the latter. It’s also a matter of what the library is for: since it’s mainly for backtesting, human psycology plays less of a role and fewer features means less maintenance and fewer bugs.

Leave this open and I’ll ponder it some more.

From I psychological standpoint, I decided to only use auto-zoom. My hopes is that when you’ve used finplot enough, you’ll feel confided that it will always zoom out to show everything, without the need of additional margins to ensure “everything is visible.” At least I do, and with only one datapoint I’m closing this. 😃
