How to limit zooming of a vis.js network?

Question

I've implemented a simple network using vis.js. Here's my code:

//create an array of nodes
var nodes = [
    {
        id: "1",
        label: "item1"
    },
    {
        id: "2",
        label: "item2"
    },
    {
        id: "3",
        label: "item3"
    },
];

// create an array with edges
var edges = [
    {
        from: "1",
        to: "2",
        label: "relation-1",
        arrows: "from"
    },
    {
        from: "1",
        to: "3",
        label: "relation-2",
        arrows: "to"
    },
];

// create a network
var container = document.getElementById('mynetwork');

// provide the data in the vis format
var data = {
    nodes: nodes,
    edges: edges
};
var options = {};

// initialize your network!
var network = new vis.Network(container, data, options);

On performing the zoom-out operation multiple times the network disappears. Are there any functions to limit the zooming level?

Answer 1

I wrote you some code to get this function working since there is no zoomMax function within the network of vis.js, I wrote some basic logic to help you out.

var container = document.getElementById('mynetwork');
var data = {
    nodes: nodes,
    edges: edges
};
var afterzoomlimit = { //here we are setting the zoom limit to move to 
    scale: 0.49,
}

var options = {}; 

var network = new vis.Network(container, data, options);
network.on("zoom",function(){ //while zooming 
    if(network.getScale() <= 0.49 )//the limit you want to stop at
    {
        network.moveTo(afterzoomlimit); //set this limit so it stops zooming out here
    } 
});

Hope this helps you.

You can use this code is better because you will never go to the middle of the network when you reach the zoom limit:

//NetWork on Zoom
network.on("zoom",function(){
   pos = [];
   pos = network.getViewPosition();

   if(network.getScale() <= 0.49 )
   {

    network.moveTo({
        position: {x:pos.x, y:pos.y},
        scale: 0.49,
      });
   }
   if(network.getScale() >= 2.00 ){

        network.moveTo({
        position: {x:pos.x, y:pos.y},
        scale: 2.00,
      });
    }
  });
