EDIT:
I am looking to find the min/max range of the high/low values of a selected area of a candle stick chart.

Similar to the zoom feature that selects an area.

How do I pick out the data of the selected area?

Or, How to convert actualVisibleMinimum/actualVisibleMaximum to a data index after an 'axisZoom' event?

They appear to be scaled date values.

I need the data values (high,low,open,close) at the minX and maxX dates locations returned by the axisZoom event.

$('#chartCandle1a').bind('axisZoom', function (e, data) {
var axis = data.axis;
var minX = axis.actualVisibleMinimum;
var maxX = axis.actualVisibleMaximum;

// convert minX and maxX to an index into data on a candle stick chart
}
});

Hi,

You can use the following code to get the visible candlestick data:

Code:
var chartData = []; // candlestick data

            $('#chartCandle1a').bind('axisZoom', function (e, data) {
                var axis = data.axis;
                var minX = axis.actualVisibleMinimum;
                var maxX = axis.actualVisibleMaximum;

                var visibleData = [];

                for (var i = 0; i < chartData.length; i++) {

                    var dataItem = chartData[i];
                    var date = dataItem[0];

                    if (data >= minX && data <= maxX) {
                        visibleData.push(dataItem);
                    }
                }
            });

This does not work, the vars actualVisibleMinimum and actualVisibleMaximum are doubles not dates.

Sorry, you can change it to:

Code:
var chartData = []; // candlestick data

            $('#chartCandle1a').bind('axisZoom', function (e, data) {
                var axis = data.axis;
                var minX = axis.actualVisibleMinimum;
                var maxX = axis.actualVisibleMaximum;

                var visibleData = [];

                for (var i = 0; i < chartData.length; i++) {

                    var dataItem = chartData[i];
                    var date = dataItem[0.getTime();

                    if (data >= minX && data <= maxX) {
                        visibleData.push(dataItem);
                    }
                }
            });

Code:
Dragan,

This is better but axis.actualVisibleMinimum and axis.actualVisibleMaximum do not point to the cursor locations.

The candle stick chart does display correctly when zoomed the dates pointed to by axis.actualVisibleMinimum and axis.actualVisibleMaximum are not the same as the selected points.

Here is my code

Code:
    var candleDataBASE = [
        ['2014-03-11', 188.71, 186.8, 188.44, 187.23],
        ['2014-03-10', 188.23, 187.08, 187.97, 188.16],
        ['2014-03-07', 188.96, 187.43, 188.96, 188.26],
        ['2014-03-06', 188.61, 187.78, 188.21, 188.18],
        ['2014-03-05', 188.07, 187.45, 187.74, 187.75],
        ['2014-03-04', 187.98, 186.75, 186.79, 187.58],
        ['2014-03-03', 185.45, 183.75, 184.65, 184.98],
        ['2014-02-28', 187.15, 185.05, 185.79, 186.29],
        ['2014-02-27', 185.87, 184.37, 184.58, 185.82],
        ['2014-02-26', 185.6, 184.33, 185.11, 184.85],

        ['2014-02-14', 184.36, 182.67, 182.84, 184.02],
        ['2014-02-13', 183.2, 180.83, 180.84, 183.01],
        ['2014-02-12', 182.83, 181.71, 182.25, 182.07],
        ['2014-02-11', 182.44, 180.04, 180.16, 181.98],

It seems that when skipEmptyDays is set to true, the intervals have some offsets.

If you change these lines:
Code:
$('#chartCandle').bind('axisZoom', function (e, data) {
        var axis = data.axis;
        var chart = $('#chartCandle').jqChart('chart');
        var minX = axis.actualVisibleMinimum;
        var maxX = axis.actualVisibleMaximum;

to
Code:
  $('#chartCandle').bind('axisZoom', function (e, data) {

                var axis = data.axis;
                var chart = $('#chartCandle').jqChart('chart');
                var minX = axis._addEmptyDaysOffset(axis.actualVisibleMinimum);
                var maxX = axis._addEmptyDaysOffset(axis.actualVisibleMaximum);

the visible range will be correct.
