Highlighting area in a graph

[Per Helge]

Is there any way I can highlight areas in a graph.

Almost like when zooming using InteractionMode = ZoomX, except I do not want to zoom, just having the area remain highlighted.

Have you looked at range annotations as an option? If they don't fit your needs, can you let us know why not/what is missing?

OK, maybe I can use those. Is there any way I can create them at runtime and let the user drag out the position and size?

[drohacek]

That functionality is not built into the annotations. I can think of a few options:

1) Use cursors to allow the end user to specify the location and dimensions of a range annotation

2) Use an Instrument Control Strip to allow the end user to specify the location and dimensions of a range annotation

3) Implement the mouse dragging & click functionality yourself
