I implement chart to display some financial data for time period, x-axis contains javascript dates but y-axis numbers. The chart must provide zoom and pan functionality. I set x-axis for max available period, like:
var data = [
[{'x':'2017-01-02','y':0},{'x':'2017-02-03','y':5.0},{'x':'2017-03-04','y':10},{'x':'2017-04-05','y':0},{'x':'2017-05-06','y':6},{'x':'2017-06-07','y':11},{'x':'2017-07-08','y':9},{'x':'2017-08-09','y':4},{'x':'2017-09-10','y':11},{'x':'2017-10-11','y':2}],
[{'x':'2017-01-02','y':1},{'x':'2017-02-03','y':6.0},{'x':'2017-03-04','y':11},{'x':'2017-04-05','y':1},{'x':'2017-05-06','y':7},{'x':'2017-06-07','y':12},{'x':'2017-07-08','y':8},{'x':'2017-08-09','y':3},{'x':'2017-09-10','y':13},{'x':'2017-10-11','y':3}]
];
var json = JSON.parse('[[{"x":"2017-08-22T20:27:53.181+0200","y":4.0},{"x":"2017-09-01T20:27:53.181+0200","y":9.0},{"x":"2017-09-11T20:27:53.181+0200","y":15.0},{"x":"2017-09-21T20:27:53.181+0200","y":6.0},{"x":"2017-10-01T20:27:53.181+02:00","y":13.0},{"x":"2017-10-11T20:27:53.181","y":10.0},{"x":"2017-10-21T20:27:53.181","y":1.0},{"x":"2017-10-31T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2017-11-10T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2017-11-20T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2017-11-30T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2017-12-10T20:27:53.181","y":14.0},{"x":"2017-12-20T20:27:53.181","y":15.0},{"x":"2017-12-30T20:27:53.181","y":11.0},{"x":"2018-01-09T20:27:53.181","y":5.0},{"x":"2018-01-19T20:27:53.181","y":11.0},{"x":"2018-01-29T20:27:53.181","y":5.0},{"x":"2018-02-08T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2018-02-18T20:27:53.181","y":4.0},{"x":"2018-02-28T20:27:53.181","y":3.0},{"x":"2018-03-10T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2018-03-20T20:27:53.181","y":10.0},{"x":"2018-03-30T20:27:53.181","y":15.0},{"x":"2018-04-09T20:27:53.181","y":3.0},{"x":"2018-04-19T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2018-04-29T20:27:53.181","y":11.0},{"x":"2018-05-09T20:27:53.181","y":7.0},{"x":"2018-05-19T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2018-05-29T20:27:53.181","y":8.0},{"x":"2018-06-08T20:27:53.181","y":1.0},{"x":"2018-06-18T20:27:53.181","y":4.0},{"x":"2018-06-28T20:27:53.181","y":10.0},{"x":"2018-07-08T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2018-07-18T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2018-07-28T20:27:53.181","y":12.0},{"x":"2018-08-07T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2018-08-17T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2018-08-27T20:27:53.181","y":1.0},{"x":"2018-09-06T20:27:53.181","y":8.0},{"x":"2018-09-16T20:27:53.181","y":14.0},{"x":"2018-09-26T20:27:53.181","y":7.0},{"x":"2018-10-06T20:27:53.181","y":9.0},{"x":"2018-10-16T20:27:53.181","y":15.0},{"x":"2018-10-26T20:27:53.181","y":15.0},{"x":"2018-11-05T20:27:53.181","y":11.0},{"x":"2018-11-15T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2018-11-25T20:27:53.181","y":9.0},{"x":"2018-12-05T20:27:53.181","y":5.0},{"x":"2018-12-15T20:27:53.181","y":5.0},{"x":"2018-12-25T20:27:53.181","y":6.0}],[{"x":"2017-08-22T20:27:53.181","y":8.0},{"x":"2017-09-01T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2017-09-11T20:27:53.181","y":15.0},{"x":"2017-09-21T20:27:53.181","y":11.0},{"x":"2017-10-01T20:27:53.181","y":12.0},{"x":"2017-10-11T20:27:53.181","y":10.0},{"x":"2017-10-21T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2017-10-31T20:27:53.181","y":10.0},{"x":"2017-11-10T20:27:53.181","y":12.0},{"x":"2017-11-20T20:27:53.181","y":6.0},{"x":"2017-11-30T20:27:53.181","y":10.0},{"x":"2017-12-10T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2017-12-20T20:27:53.181","y":3.0},{"x":"2017-12-30T20:27:53.181","y":10.0},{"x":"2018-01-09T20:27:53.181","y":12.0},{"x":"2018-01-19T20:27:53.181","y":12.0},{"x":"2018-01-29T20:27:53.181","y":6.0},{"x":"2018-02-08T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2018-02-18T20:27:53.181","y":7.0},{"x":"2018-02-28T20:27:53.181","y":1.0},{"x":"2018-03-10T20:27:53.181","y":10.0},{"x":"2018-03-20T20:27:53.181","y":4.0},{"x":"2018-03-30T20:27:53.181","y":14.0},{"x":"2018-04-09T20:27:53.181","y":15.0},{"x":"2018-04-19T20:27:53.181","y":5.0},{"x":"2018-04-29T20:27:53.181","y":14.0},{"x":"2018-05-09T20:27:53.181","y":4.0},{"x":"2018-05-19T20:27:53.181","y":3.0},{"x":"2018-05-29T20:27:53.181","y":7.0},{"x":"2018-06-08T20:27:53.181","y":1.0},{"x":"2018-06-18T20:27:53.181","y":14.0},{"x":"2018-06-28T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2018-07-08T20:27:53.181","y":14.0},{"x":"2018-07-18T20:27:53.181","y":11.0},{"x":"2018-07-28T20:27:53.181","y":12.0},{"x":"2018-08-07T20:27:53.181","y":3.0},{"x":"2018-08-17T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2018-08-27T20:27:53.181","y":6.0},{"x":"2018-09-06T20:27:53.181","y":3.0},{"x":"2018-09-16T20:27:53.181","y":11.0},{"x":"2018-09-26T20:27:53.181","y":3.0},{"x":"2018-10-06T20:27:53.181","y":15.0},{"x":"2018-10-16T20:27:53.181","y":13.0},{"x":"2018-10-26T20:27:53.181","y":9.0},{"x":"2018-11-05T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2018-11-15T20:27:53.181","y":14.0},{"x":"2018-11-25T20:27:53.181","y":15.0},{"x":"2018-12-05T20:27:53.181","y":4.0},{"x":"2018-12-15T20:27:53.181","y":2.0},{"x":"2018-12-25T20:27:53.181","y":5.0}]]');

but default time period when chart is loaded must be current date - one month back. And when I draw path for this period, chart displays it on the x-axis with max period. How can I programmatically zoom in to the default period (current date - one month back) so afterwards I can make both zoom in and zoom out?
Or I can set default period (current date - one month back) when chart is loaded but how can then make zoom out scrolling mouse wheel to wider period?
I am attempting to draw markers to a zoomable / pannable graph.

I have been able to add static lines to my d3 plot in the example, what i am trying to achieve is to make the marker line along with the text "test" to be moving along with the graph.
What I have tried is to use a d3.svg.line() with a line generator, but it ends up not getting the reference to d. Another version I have attempted is to create a function as below but that does not get the reference of d, and draws the line at zero. Here i attempted to draw the line if and only if the marker tag was present in the data. By default when populating the data i have ensured that it has Number.NaN when i dont need to draw the marker.
var marker = svg.append("line")
.attr("x1",function(d) { if(d.marker!=Number.NaN) return x(d.date); })
.attr("y1", 0)
.attr("x2",function(d) { if(d.marker!=Number.NaN) return x(d.date); })
.attr("y2", height)
.attr("class", "marker")
I have made a couple of small changes, as per my reply to your question. Inside your zoom handler zoomed() you need to change the x1 & x2 attributes of marker, and the x attr of markerText.
This function fires on each zoom event to move stuff around or redraw stuff according to your zoom, and your axes.

This can be solved by using d3 axis. A working example is available at https://jsfiddle.net/3gww76s0/
var make_x_marker = function (scale=1, transform=[0,0]) {
console.log(transform)
var markers =[];
var markerLabels={};
for (i=0; i<raw.marker1.length; i++)
{
var value=transform[0]+scale*(1/244.140625*1000)*raw.marker1[i];
markers.push(value)
markerLabels[value]="A"+Math.floor(Math.random()*26);
}
return d3.svg.axis()
.orient("top")
.tickValues(markers)
.tickSize(height-15)
.tickFormat(function(d){return markerLabels[d]})
};
