Enable selection of the default scroll position for the x-axis on a chart. For example, on a line chart with dates as the x-axis, when not all of the data can display in the view at once, the scroll defaults to the beginning/left end of the x-axis and the most recent dates are at the far end causing the end user to always have to scroll to see the most recent data. If you could set the visual to default to the right end, then the user would only have to scroll if they wanted to see more history.

RE: Set default x axis scrolling position

This would be great, dates are generally displayed from left to right (Early-> Latest).

I want my users to see the latest data on the right which is currently hidden because the scrolling defaults left. Flipping the dates to have latest on the left is counterintuitive.

Configurable start scroll position is a must

RE: Set default x axis scrolling position

You are completely right! Usually most recent data are the most interesting. Please make default position configurable.
