In typical usage, the ViewPortControl displays an "overall chart" that shows the full data range, and connects to the ChartViewer using ViewPortControl.setViewer. It can then include a rectangle on the overall chart to represent the viewport in the ChartViewer. The region outside the rectangle can be dimmed out to highlight the viewport region. If the viewport is changed (such as if the user uses the mouse wheel to zoom in the chart), the rectangle will update automatically.
To manipulate the viewport, the user can drag the rectangle to move the viewport (equivalent to scrolling). The user can also resize the viewport by dragging the border of the rectangle (equivalent to zooming), or drag a new rectangular region on the overall chart to be used as the new viewport, or click on a point on the chart to center the viewport at that point.
