1. What and Why

The plugin allows the user to zoom in and out by means of a slider.

Normally use the (+) and (-) buttons or the mouse scroll-wheel for zooming in and out, but maybe you prefer to use a slider. The position of the slider (far left, far right or somewhere in between) gives you a direct indication of the zoom-status.

2. Installation

Install and Enable the plugin: Instructions

Now the Chart Scale slider should appear on your screen.
