Drag graph to navigate

[synhershko]

Right now it is impossible to move in time by dragging the graph, you can only zoom in using the mouse cursor and then you have to zoom out using the button link up left

It will be very useful to be able to drag the graph left and right to show areas that aren't displayed

Are you thinking something like this where there is a smaller graph with a scroll bar below the main one that shows you the current "window" your main graph is viewing?

This wouldn't quite give you the behavior you are looking for, but given that dragging is currently used to specify a new viewport on the graph, I don't think dragging could also be used to pan.

[synhershko]

Yes, such a smaller graph below the display could definitely work. Panning using dragging can still be made possible using Ctrl-drag or something, but I admit that may be less obvious.

The mini graph probably isn't feasible. It would seriously increase the weight of the initial query. Maybe adding some arrows or something to navigate forward and back. Grab and scroll wouldn't really be super smooth anyway as we'd have to query to get anything to show first

Arrows to scroll half a page forward or backward would be wonderful.

#299 Review and pull

Didn't mean to close this, commit was a reference to elastic/sense#170

I don't know if this ticket is relevant anymore since navigating through time is now done with the global timepicker since version 4+. In the current world, this seems like a duplicate of #1956
