<h3 dir="auto">Problem</h3>
<p dir="auto">I usually want to zoom into some specific regions of a plot. Using the "rectangle" method feels slow given that Google Maps and similar services allow zooming using the mouse wheel.</p>

<p dir="auto">There are some work-arounds available on SO and gists. But I would love to see a standard solution which simply works out of the box.</p>
