Allow zoom/pan scale binding for geo data

[jwoLondon]

Great to see the ability to use interval selections with geoData with the VL5.7 release. This makes brushing between geographic and non-geographic views a possibility, which is something I've wanted for a long time. Thank you.

Does this make the possibility of a bind scales option for longitude/latitude data a viable prospect? It would be great to allow zooming and panning of geodata (which often benefit from zooming more than many other data types) via an interval selection so that we don't have to rely on range sliders to control projection parameters.

It wouldn't need any change to the API as it could use exactly the same API as used for cartesian positioning (which currently generates the error Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'on') [Warning] Scale bindings are currently only supported for scales with unbinned, continuous domains. when used with longitude/latitude projected data)

I think this would be super useful too! I noticed that there is an ongoing discussion about panning and zooming in #3306 so I went ahead and renamed that issue accordingly. I will close this one as a duplicate, so feel free to add to the discussion in #3306 instead.

Heads-up @joelostblom – There's a way to mark an issue on GitHub as a duplicate, rather than closing it as completed: https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/marking-issues-or-pull-requests-as-a-duplicate. I think it would be better to use that, since it's a bit confusing to see "closed this as completed" in the log here. Thanks!

Duplicate of #3306

Oh, I didn't know of that functionality. It's handy to have as a saved reply, thanks!

Didn't know either. Will save that as well.
