Feature request for scaling with X & Y constant

Hi,

Could I make a feature request for scaling with X & Y constant relationship, where an option for it to use constant relationship when zooming in, but not when zooming out past a certain level.

Use case:

Default(or configured) zoom level : 3. When zooming to level 4,5,6,etc , it use also zoom using the constant relationship. When going back to level 3, it would also use constant relationship ( exactly like it behaves now ). But when zooming to level 2,1,0, it would not use the constant relationship.

The reason is that I like using constant relationship to zoom in, but when zooming out, especially level 0, everything just looks like a straight line because of the huge vertical zoom out.

Hope I am making myself understandable and you guys think its a usefull feature.

Thanks

What are the levels you are referring to? For example are you referring to changing the bar spacing and the spacing between the bars?

And are you referring to altering the horizontal or vertical scale?

an example:

I have default level to level 3, where it is configured with a scale: screenshot_level3

If I zoom in, it would like for it to keep constant scaling for X and Y, so that it does not look like screenshot_level40

But if I zoom out, I want it to look like screenshot_level0

So, what i am asking is a constantly scaled screenshot_level40, but still keep the screenshot_level0.

The way I would like to set it up, would be to have screenshot_level3, at zoom in it would keep constant scale like screenshot_level10, and at zoom out it would not keep constant scale like screenshot_level0.

Please tell me if you guys can understand better with those images.

I didn't really understood your question about "levels". The levels i am talking about are the zoom levels( when you shift+mouse wheel), there is a number at the bottom of the chart. ( before the "L" when we lock fill space )

We need some time to look this over, and we will see if there is an easy implementation to accomplish this.

Been thinking about this and easier ways to accomplish it, and had an idea:

Would it be easier to implement if when setting X&Y scalling, to specify a maximum zoom ? I could just specify the maximum to the same zoom of my default level. With the value "0", X&Y constant scale would behave like behaves today.
