            },
            limits: {
              // axis limits
              y: {min: 0, max: 100},
              x: {min: -180, max: 180},
            },
            zoom: {
              // zoom options and/or events
              mode: 'y',

Warning

This is not supposed to be used in production. It is a first try to accomplish basic custom pan functionallity in a certain way. You are not forced to do everything exactly as it is shown here, decide what works best for you and your team. However, this is a great staring point for custom development for whatever special usecase.
