Hello All,

I was looking at [this](https://vega.github.io/vega/examples/zoomable-scatter-plot/) example to try to understand how to make my visualization zoomable and panable and in doing that when I try to work with the example in my instance it complains about "xext" and I can't see where that is defined anywhere on the spec, is this built into vega? and if so why would it complain about it for me? I assume I am making a simple mistake but would appreciate some help here.

Thank you!

I found it with experimentation that the "xext" and the "yext" are coming from the transform of type "extent" in the data set.
