JavaScript/jQuery RangeSelector API

The RangeSelector is a UI component that allows a user to select a range of values on a scale.

import RangeSelector from "devextreme/viz/range_selector"

This UI component represents a scale (numeric or date-time) and two sliders. A user selects the required range by moving the sliders.

RangeSelector

A chart can be displayed in the background of the RangeSelector UI component. This allows end users to select the required range in a chart series. You can also integrate the RangeSelector UI component with a stand-alone Chart UI component to emulate chart zooming and scrolling.
