Graph Area

A graph that displays the distribution of events over time. The search query timeline is the x-axis, and the number of matching events is the y-axis.

The main graph shows the distribution of events matching the search query over the selected timeline. Any time period in the graph can be zoomed into, by selecting a time on the time axis, and dragging left/right the vertical line that appears on the graph, to the beginning/end of the time period to be zoomed into. A Zoom Out button appears on top of the zoomed-in graph, enabling return to the original search results.

Below the main graph. Displays zoomed-in area with respect to the original search context. For example, zooming in on one day of the last 7 days, shows in this graph all seven days, with the zoomed-in day shaded in blue. Can zoom into a time period from this graph (see explanation in Main Graph).
