Parameters: This function accepts single parameter as mentioned above and described below:

  • selection: This parameter can be selection or transition.
  • transform: This parameter can be defined as a zoom transform or as a function.

Return Value: This function returns the zoom transform.

Below programs illustrate the zoom.transform() function in D3.js

              .scaleExtent([1, 10])
              .translateExtent([[0, 0], [width, height]])
              .on("zoom", zoomed);

                var transform = d3.zoomIdentity;
                  
                // Apply the transform:
