Many applications on the platform use the Duration Picker component. This component is customized per application: Trend, for example, requires a Live Mode setting, but other apps do not. Date and time pickers, zooming, panning and customized ranges are common, as are the ability to copy URLs. Other features such as downloading data sets are also optional.
The Duration Picker allows developers to add control settings for a component that can consume these settings. Use of each aspect, such as zoom controls, is configurable. The Public Event on_date_change fires anytime a setting in the Duration Picker is updated.
Full documentation for this component including an interactive demo and code builder presently resides in the ThinkIQ platform under the Developer->UI Controls
