You'll have to combine several approaches:

1. Panning controls: Invoke, setDomainPannable(true) to enable panning; in your controls, use panDomainAxes(), as shown in the implementation of mouseDragged(); use the mouse as suggested here.

2. Zooming: Zooming by dragging on the axis is not supported, but dragging on the plot is supported; drag right to see the selection rectangle. To ensure the mouse wheel only zooms the domain axis when is rolled, invoke setRangeZoomable(false) on the ChartPanel; vice-versa for the range axis.

3. Zooming out: Drag left to zoom out or use a button handler, as shown here.

4. Tooltips: Enable tooltips in your chosen ChartFactory. If needed, create a custom XYToolTipGenerator, as shown here.
