Hi there,
I don't know if this is possible but I would like to use the stock chart range selector as input on a highcharts plot that has no time x-axis.
A possible MWE would be to have a stockchart range selector and the main plot being for example a bar plot with two bars where the hight of each bar is the time stamp (as a number) of the start and the end date of the range selector. Is this possible and can you show me how to implement that?
I found this thread but I don't know if it's possible and how to modify it to fit my needs: viewtopic.php?t=18092
Re: Range selector for non-stock chart
Hello datadoge,
It could be possible, and here you can find related topic: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=46020
Demo:https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/f02yx3sa/
The thing is, I don't really understand why would you use range selector in this case. First of all, range selector is a part of Highstock, so you need appropriate license to be able to use it. Second thing is that you dont want time x-axis anyway. I think it would be much easier to add few buttons with styles, and create your own custom range selector like here: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/064v1qdz/
API reference:https://api.highcharts.com/class-refere ... etExtremes
Let me know what do you think about this approach and feel free to ask any further questions.
Best regards!

Re: Range selector for non-stock chart
Hi, thanks for your reply!
Alright, let me try to explain in a bit more detail what I have in mind. I have a time-price series of data and now I would like to plot corresponding metadata change between user-defined points in time. And I think the stocks range selector would just be perfect for that because the user could easily select a time range where e.g. the price took a huge dip and plot the metadata before and after the dip. Do you know what I mean?
The metadata is not a time serious though but a completely different chart.

Re: Range selector for non-stock chart
Hello datadoge,
Frankly speaking it is quite hard to understand for me what do you want to achieve. I need even more specified description, preferably with some images and technical details like series type. You've mentioned bar chart as an example, but I don't think it would be a good choice in this case. Reading more into your description it makes me think that you should consider using Highcharts Gantt: https://www.highcharts.com/demo/gantt
Precisely I was thinking about something like that: https://www.highcharts.com/demo/gantt/with-navigation
As you can see in the demo, you have a range selector that allows you to set specific date range and bars that could start and finish with specific timestamps.
You might also want to consider X-range series: https://www.highcharts.com/demo/x-range
Thanks in advance for any details and clarification.
Best regards!
