# How do I set the 'zoom' on my beeminder visualization to show 1-2 weeks max and not the entire time period?

Despite the topic, this isn’t actually a question about zooming. It’s orthogonal to client-side graphs, because there’s a distinction between default-viewport and easy-zoom-and-pan.

I have a number of goals that I periodically ratchet forward the x-min and x-max, for which it’d be handy to be able to express them in relative terms and be done with it.
