quantize.invertExtent()

quantize.invertExtent(value)

Returns the extent of values in the domain [x0, x1] for the corresponding value in the range: the inverse of quantize. This method is useful for interaction, say to determine the value in the domain that corresponds to the pixel location under the mouse.

var width = d3.scaleQuantize()
    .domain([10, 100])
    .range([1, 2, 4]);

width.invertExtent(2); // [40, 70]
