I wasn't really sure what to use for the action.

(I will double check that I'm sending the full request with all parameters.) 
I'll try using "move" instead of "none". I'll also try programmatically sending 
a very small mouse movement with the left click, and report back if I can find 
anything out.


Thanks!

Jordan

Scott is right, the x,y values are normalized, so depending on your screen size 
if your image is 1000 pixel wide and you want to reflect a move of 10 pixel, 
you should send a x of 10/1000=0.01.

Here is a sample from my websocket frames just now:

[48,4996973606207488,{},"viewport.mouse.interaction",[{"view":353,"action":"move","altKey":false,"ctrlKey":false,"shiftKey":false,"metaKey":false,"buttonLeft":false,"buttonMiddle":false,"buttonRight":true,"x":0.7654596100278551,"y":0.38173817381738173}]]

It seems the "action" should be set to "move" rather than "none", as in the 
documentation you linked, "none" does not seem to be an option.  Also, as that 
documentation states, x and y should be normalized to [0, 1], as you correctly 
guessed.  And finally, you may need to provide all the parameters with values 
like I show above, not just the ones you are interested in.

But at any rate, this should not then affect the center of rotation, but it 
sounds like in your case maybe it is?  Can you see if moving just a *tiny* bit 
keeps at least some of the object in view?

Cheers,
Scott

ParaViewWeb gurus,

Is there a correct way to send a zoom request through the ParaViewWeb API?

I'm especially looking at the PVW MouseHandler (documentation here -- 
http://www.paraview.org/ParaView3/Doc/Nightly/www/js-doc/index.html#!/api/protocols.ParaViewWebMouseHandler)

I have had some success by sending a right-click with a small y value (looks 
like it needs to be between 0 and 1), the action set to "none", and buttonRight 
set to "true". However, when I afterward rotate the view (using the same RPC 
call with different methods), the rendered object just vanishes, although the 
axes and legend are still there.
