Even the visual representation of the time ranges can be adjusted using the existing methods. And it would be nice to have the possibility to drag the selected time ranges by grabbing the defined area (between two time points). \r\nI believe this could be enabled by defining a time range (e.g. with a method), where the start and end of the time range would be indicated by 2 custom time bars (added if not on timeline already).\r\n\r\nDo you think this can be added to the functionality list? I'd be happy to try to implement it myself. \r\n\r\nThe possible use case is when another application uses the provided timechange / timechanged events to dynamically update the presented data. This way the range of events can be displayed with improved granularity.\r\nAlso, it can be used to limit the events displayed to improve performance, i.e. when there're lots of events to be shown on the timeline axis, the DataSet can be configured to display only those within the specified time range (using the existing functionality)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/almende/vis/issues/comments/91183771","html_url":"https://github.com/almende/vis/issues/765#issuecomment-91183771","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/almende/vis/issues/765","id":91183771,"user":{"login":"aytech","id":3247202,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3247202?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech","html_url":"https://github.com/aytech","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/aytech/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-09T10:16:09Z","updated_at":"2015-04-09T10:16:09Z","body":"Hm, I'll try to tinker with the RangeItems/BackgroundItems, see if that can be done this way "}}
