fix(interaction): keep brushX selection span while dragging by andersk · Pull Request #173 · TanStack/charts

andersk · 2026-10-07T06:36:17Z

Dragging a brushX selection that snaps to explicit values snapped each edge to its nearest value separately. When D3 stopped the selection at the plot edge, half a step past the first or last value, the opposite edge landed exactly between two values and the range lost a value.

Instead, snap the edge leading the drag, judged from where the drag started, and snap the other edge at the selection's width from it. On evenly spaced values that keeps the number of selected values; on unevenly spaced values it keeps the selection's width on screen.

Fixes brushX with values can shorten the selection range when it’s dragged to the plot edge #170.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Dragging an existing brush selection across discrete chart values now preserves its length, including when the drag reaches either plot edge. The preview and committed range remain consistent.
- On unevenly spaced axes, the selection’s leading edge follows the drag’s initial direction, even if the pointer reverses direction.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Discrete brush selection drags now preserve their pixel width when they snap to axis values. Preview and commit use the same gesture-aware conversion. Tests cover edge drags, uneven axes, and changes to available values during a drag.

Changes

Brush selection span

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Translate discrete brush selections `packages/charts-core/src/interaction-brush.ts`	The brush records the selection’s original left position and uses a gesture-aware conversion for previews and commits. For discrete axes, the conversion snaps the leading edge and positions the opposite edge using the selection’s pixel width.
Test brush selection span `packages/charts-core/src/interaction-brush.test.ts`, `.changeset/brush-x-selection-span.md`	Tests cover dragging past either edge, direction changes on an uneven axis, and value updates during a drag. The changeset describes the selected-value behavior.

Dragging a brushX selection now keeps its span on evenly spaced values. On unevenly spaced values, however, the selection can grow to include more values while dragging. Resolve or explicitly accept this before merging.

- Around line 665-668: Update the drag conversion around startIndex and endIndex
to handle origin endpoints missing from the current axis: cancel or rebase the
gesture when the axis changes, or use the existing snapped conversion when an
origin endpoint is absent, so committing an unchanged preview preserves its
range.
- Around line 669-674: Update the whole-range shift calculation using the
pointer displacement and candidate positions for both endpoints, rather than
choosing solely by the magnitude of startShift or endShift. Preserve the
existing edge clamp, and add an unevenly spaced axis test verifying that a small
rightward drag does not move the range start across a large gap.
