Built-In Axes Interactions

Built-in axes interactions allow you to explore charts using gestures, for example dragging to pan or scrolling to zoom. These interactions are built into the parent axes and are available without having to select any of the buttons in the axes toolbar. Most types of axes include a default set of built-in interactions. You can customize the default set of interactions on axes with an Interactions property.

If you do not want any of the interactions enabled, use the disableDefaultInteractivity function to disable them. To enable them if they are not already enabled, use the enableDefaultInteractivity function.
