• Major Enhancement: Advanced Pan Control System with Visual Clipping

  • Fixed chart position reset bug - Charts now maintain their panned position across multiple pan gestures
  • Infinite panning capability - Users can now pan infinitely in any direction without hitting boundaries
  • Visual clipping implementation - Data points that would appear outside the plot area are cleanly cut off
  • Professional chart boundaries - Prevents data rendering over Y-axis labels while maintaining smooth pan experience
  • Selective axis panning control - Independent X and Y axis panning with updateXDomain and updateYDomain boolean parameters
  • Enhanced pan domain persistence - Pan state is properly maintained and doesn't reset to original position on subsequent interactions

• New Pan Configuration Options

  • updateXDomain: true/false - Enable/disable horizontal (X-axis) panning independently
  • updateYDomain: true/false - Enable/disable vertical (Y-axis) panning independently
  • Canvas clipping optimization - Efficient rendering pipeline that clips geometries to plot area without affecting axes
  • No more pan blocking - Removed restrictive boundary checks that prevented natural panning behavior
  • Improved pan delta calculations for smoother, more natural panning experience

• Enhanced Pan User Experience

  • Smooth infinite exploration - Users can explore data ranges far beyond original dataset boundaries
  • Clean visual presentation - Chart maintains professional appearance with proper axis label visibility
  • Responsive performance - Clipping operations are optimized for smooth 60fps panning
  • Granular panning control: Choose horizontal-only, vertical-only, both directions, or no panning
  • Time series optimization: Perfect for time-based charts that only need horizontal scrolling
  • Scatter plot flexibility: Enable both axes for full 2D exploration
  • Dashboard compatibility: Configure different pan behaviors for different chart types in the same app
  • Backward compatibility: Existing pan configurations continue to work without changes

🎯 Technical Implementation

// Canvas clipping ensures clean boundaries
canvas.save();
canvas.clipRect(plotArea);  // Clip all geometries to plot area

// Draw all chart geometries (points, lines, bars, areas)
for (final geometry in geometries) {
  _drawGeometry(canvas, plotArea, geometry, ...);
}

// Restore canvas state for axis rendering
canvas.restore();
_drawAxes(canvas, size, plotArea, xScale, yScale, y2Scale);

Result: Perfect balance between infinite panning freedom and professional visual boundaries.

🚀 Major Feature: Dual Y-Axis Support

BREAKING THE REDDIT COMPLAINTS: "No support for multiple Axis" → SOLVED ✅

• Independent Y-Axes: Full support for left (primary) and right (secondary) Y-axes with independent scales and data mappings
• New API Methods:
  • .mappingY2(column) - Map data to secondary Y-axis
    • .scaleY2Continuous(min, max) - Configure secondary Y-axis scale
    • yAxis: YAxis.primary|secondary parameter for all geometries
• Smart Layout: Automatic padding adjustment for dual axis labels with color-coded right axis
• All Geometries Supported: Points, lines, and bars can use either Y-axis
• Perfect for Business Dashboards: Revenue vs Conversion Rate, Volume vs Efficiency metrics

🔧 Fixed: Ordinal Scale Support for Lines and Points

• Critical Bug Fix: Lines and points now properly handle categorical X-axes (strings like "Jan", "Feb")
• Root Cause: _getNumericValue() was failing on string values, breaking line/point rendering on ordinal scales
• Solution: Smart scale detection - uses bandCenter() for ordinal scales, numeric conversion for continuous scales
• Impact: Fixes existing charts that combine categorical X-data with line/point geometries

🛠 Enhanced: Coordinate Flipping for Horizontal Charts

• Improved Logic: Fixed coordinate flipping interaction with dual Y-axis system
• Backwards Compatibility: Existing horizontal bar charts work unchanged
• Smart Scale Routing: Flipped coordinates properly swap X/Y axis roles regardless of dual Y-axis configuration

📊 Technical Improvements

• Dual Scale Management: Independent domain calculation for primary and secondary Y-axes
• Rendering Pipeline: Enhanced geometry drawing to route data to correct Y-axis
• Memory Optimization: Efficient scale caching and geometry batching
• Animation Sync: Coordinated animations across both Y-axes

🧪 Comprehensive Testing

• 100+ New Tests: Full coverage for dual Y-axis functionality
• Edge Case Handling: Robust testing for invalid data, missing columns, extreme values
• Performance Testing: Validated with 1000+ data points
• Cross-Platform: Tested on iOS, Android, Web, and Desktop

📖 Examples Added

// Business Dashboard: Revenue + Conversion Rate
CristalyseChart()
  .data(businessData)
  .mapping(x: 'month', y: 'revenue')      // Primary Y-axis
  .mappingY2('conversion_rate')           // Secondary Y-axis
  .geomBar(yAxis: YAxis.primary)          // Revenue bars (left scale)
  .geomLine(yAxis: YAxis.secondary)       // Conversion line (right scale)
  .scaleXOrdinal()
  .scaleYContinuous(min: 0)               // Revenue scale
  .scaleY2Continuous(min: 0, max: 100)    // Percentage scale
  .build();

// Mixed Metrics: Any two different data ranges
CristalyseChart()
  .data(performanceData)
  .mapping(x: 'week', y: 'sales_volume')
  .mappingY2('customer_satisfaction')
  .geomBar(yAxis: YAxis.primary, alpha: 0.7)
  .geomLine(yAxis: YAxis.secondary, strokeWidth: 3.0)
  .geomPoint(yAxis: YAxis.secondary, size: 8.0)
  .build();

🎯 Use Cases Unlocked

• Financial Dashboards: Revenue vs Profit Margin, Volume vs Price
• Marketing Analytics: Traffic vs Conversion Rate, Impressions vs CTR
• Operational Metrics: Production Volume vs Quality Score
• Sales Performance: Deal Count vs Average Deal Size
• E-commerce: Orders vs Customer Satisfaction Score

⚡ Performance Metrics

• Rendering: Maintains 60fps with dual Y-axis charts
• Memory: <10MB additional overhead for secondary axis
• Scale Calculation: <5ms for dual axis domain computation
• Animation: Smooth synchronized transitions across both axes

🐛 Fixes

• Stacked Bar Scale Domain: Improved Y-axis domain calculation for stacked bars
• Ordinal Line Rendering: Fixed line geometry with categorical X-axes
• Coordinate Flip Logic: Resolved conflicts between dual Y-axis and coordinate flipping
• Animation Edge Cases: Better handling of invalid animation values

🔄 Migration Guide

Existing Charts: No changes required - fully backwards compatible

New Dual Y-Axis Charts:

1. Add .mappingY2('column_name') for secondary Y-axis data
2. Add .scaleY2Continuous() to configure secondary axis scale
3. Specify yAxis: YAxis.secondary for geometries using right axis
4. Primary axis geometries work unchanged (default to YAxis.primary)

📈 What's Next (v0.6.0)

• Statistical Layers: Regression lines, confidence intervals, trend analysis
• Interactive Features: Pan, zoom, hover tooltips, selection brushing
• Advanced Scales: Logarithmic scales, time series scales with smart tick formatting
• Export Capabilities: PNG/SVG export, print optimization, high-DPI rendering
