rangeArea demand the type of the chart to be category, selection/brush cannot work with charts of type category

Hi all,

I am relative new to using APEX charts so I hope I have misunderstood something, and if so, just let me know.

I am having a setup where I have several charts setup to reflect some financial data over time. I want to be able to zoom and scroll the period, so I have setup for all the charts to be synced, through using a groupID (smart feature). As my financial data has no movements in weekends, I use a x-axis of type numeric (day 0,1,2,3) which I then map to dates on my own.

This is great, and was easily implemented due to the APEX library.

However, I am really fond of the areaRange charts, as they enables me to display complex data in existing charts that I have, without crowing the chart with more lines/bars etc. Just a slight change of background can really add value to my chart at a low visual cost.

However, if I read the documentation right, use of the RangeArea require an x-axis of type category, which in turn, prohibit the use of selection/brush features which are crucial to my project.

I am speculating if anyone know the reason why RangeArea has this limitation, I cannot imagine it, allthough I am sure it exists. In addition, and even more importantly, I am wondering if anyone has been facing this situation and have found a way around it.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
