There's a small bug in this, where the zoom is actually a bit to the right of the zoom band that you see visually. This is caused by the yAxis point (0,0) being at the top-left of the yAxis, and not taking into account the thickness of the axis. When the code gets the xOffset, it should take into acount the right side of the axis, not the left.

Line 150 should be as follows:

double xOffset = zoomTopLeft.getX() - (yAxisInScene.getX() + yAxis.getWidth());

Line 150 should be as follows:

double xOffset = zoomTopLeft.getX() - (yAxisInScene.getX() - yAxis.getWidth());
