All Brush No Zoom

I'm working with a focus + context d3 visualization. I'm using a path instead of an area chart, which is the example on bl.ocks.org. Unfortunately, I can't get it working properly. I quickly noticed I wasn't the only one who struggled to re-purpose this graph. See this post:

D3.js Focus + Context Overflow

My brush works, but the zoom for the focus doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure why I haven't solved it after 3 days. I have had a lot of time and a lot of examples so that I could learn from others' mistakes. In the previous post, the url(#clip) was the issue, however, in my chart the issue seems to be more a problem with the brush/zoom function. Another thing that is tripping me up a is that I'm using d3 version 3, so the current example block isn't so easy to infer things from. There are many differences in syntax/function calling in d3 v4.

The infamous bruzh zoom block in d3.v4.js: https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/34f08d5e11952a80609169b7917d4172

I'm wondering why have so many struggled with this. Maybe we're all just careless, but I'm suspecting there could also be something tricky/subtle going on here.

Can someone post a fiddle or block of a functional zoom for my chart in d3.v3? I'd love to see how you did it.

Here is my block: https://bl.ocks.org/diggetybo/f46ebec18dda16bf39f41b9282b5b593

Here is the full screen graph: https://bl.ocks.org/diggetybo/raw/f46ebec18dda16bf39f41b9282b5b593/

Many thanks

You aren't "redrawing" the line path in your brush event:

var brush = d3.svg.brush()
  .x(xScaleBottom)
  .on('brush', function brushed() {
    xScaleTop.domain(brush.empty() ? xScaleBottom.domain() : brush.extent());
    focus.select('.line').attr('d', lineTop); //<-- REDRAW LINE
    focus.select('.x.axis').call(xAxisTop);
  });

Note, you also have a brushed function which isn't being used (took me a second to find the actual event handler).


Here's your code running:
