Chart.js: Slider to change chart viewing range

[turbobuilt]

Great charts!

Will there be a viewing range slider any time soon? Slide the left and right to change the breadth of data shown?

Honestly this doesn't sound like a bad idea, probably wouldn't be in core though.

@dtruel: I've just recently added a rage slider to my chart on a stats page I was building.
I cobbled it together with noUiSlider + wNumb

It didn't take very long to do, but if you'd like I can put together a Gist that shows what I did

@jakesyl I agree it doesn't need to be in the core, there are hooks for all the events you'd need, already exposed, but creating it as a plugin would be pretty great (I might take a bash at it sometime this evening)

@schme16 creating a plugin would be a good idea.

I had a quick go in my spare time at work today; it's rough at the moment, but I'll be cleaning it up over the next few days!
Patches welcome, of course, as is any advice about the way I'm creating the plugin!

Closing since this won't be in the core and @schme16 made an awesome plugin to add this functionality.
