Use RangeSelector in Highcharts without Date - highcharts

Question

So I built a Highcharts application which looks somewhat like this:
https://codesandbox.io/s/angular-opcho
the chart looks like this:
export class ChartComponent implements OnInit {
title = "app";
chart;
updateFromInput = false;
Highcharts = Highcharts;
chartConstructor = "chart";
chartCallback;
data1;
data2;
chartOptions = {
title: {
text: "Global temperature change"
},
subtitle: {
text: "Data input from CSV"
},
plotOptions: {
series: {
marker: {
enabled: false
}
}
},
series: []
}
A highcharts application where you can upload csv data.
If you put in csv data which looks similar to this:
"runs","numbers",differences
"run1","1123",21
"run2","222",7200
"run3","31112",60
"run4","412312",32
you will have a nice graph with x and y axis.
Now, what i am trying to do is to build in a range selector for the y axis so i can sort out really high values and have a better view on the lower values.
My problem is, i can only find range selectors that have something to do with date and time. Is there any range selector for my specific problem?

Answer 1

The basic range selector uses setExtremes method, so you can do the same on yAxis:
var chart = Highcharts.chart('container', {
series: [{
type: 'column',
data: [1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 999, 888, 979]
}]
});
document.getElementById('low').addEventListener('click', function() {
chart.yAxis[0].setExtremes(0, 10);
});
document.getElementById('high').addEventListener('click', function() {
chart.yAxis[0].setExtremes(850, 1000);
});
