Pinch zoom ux

[Alpt]

This pull request is an experimentation on improving the UX of pinch-zoom.
It starts from pull request 990, which fixes two functional bugs, and it adds the following:

• do not go out of the graph extremes (g.xAxisExtremes()), both during pan and during zoom. Use g.getNumericOption("panEdgeFraction") to have a tolerance about this. Perhaps, this fixes 713.
• sensitiveness dampening: smaller pinches count much less for scaling
• context.pinchOutOfExtremes: do not pinch-zoom if the center of the pinch is out of the extremes of the axes
• There was this feature: "make pinches in a 45-degree swath around either axis 1-dimensional zooms". I found it needed improvement, so I disabled it. Without it, I find the graph to be very usable, perhaps thanks to the dampness of sensitiveness. But perhaps, you want to enable it. It is easy: just de-comment two lines.

Do you have a recommended procedure to test this? An example page, or just the one on https://dygraphs.com/ and then pinching around, or something better than that?

AFAICT var has function scope, so this is an error. I’d say declare var damp above with the initHalf{Width,Height} and reuse it in both branches.

please do add explicit semicola at the end of instructions (not just here but everywhere); semicolon insertion is considered harmful

Try numericnews
It uses alpt/dygraphs#v0.0.5
I do not remember if it diverges from the pull requests I made. But if it does, it does slightly.

I am sorry, but 5 years later I do not find much time to give additional support.
