如何实现Vega中顶部图表Brush随底部Brush平移同步？

我有两个垂直排列的面积图（改编自Vega官方示例）。底部（overview）区域的Brush可缩放顶部（detail）区域，顶部区域新增了一个Brush，当前已选中顶部图表的4-7月区间。

当用底部Brush平移顶部区域时（下图红色箭头所示），顶部Brush固定不动，而顶部区域随平移变化。预期效果是顶部Brush随顶部区域同步平移，始终覆盖4-7月区间（即移至虚线标记区域）。

如何实现顶部Brush随顶部区域同步平移？

解决方案 #

核心思路是记录顶部Brush的时间区间而非像素位置，当detailDomain变化时，基于当前比例尺重新计算Brush的像素位置。以下是修改后的完整代码：

关键修改点 #

• 新增topBrushTimeRange信号，专门存储顶部Brush选中的时间区间，替代原有的像素位置存储
• 将顶部原brush信号改名为brushPixels，仅作为拖拽过程中的临时像素容器
• 顶部Brush的位置计算改为基于topBrushTimeRange和当前xDetail比例尺，确保detailDomain变化时，Brush始终对应同一时间区间
• 监听detailDomain变化事件，保持topBrushTimeRange值不变，避免平移时丢失选中的时间区间
