Hi Ely, I'm curious about the benefits of implementing these features as chart extensions as opposed to separate custom components. Specifically, in my case I have a custom component that can have its view type set to either chart or datagrid; both use the same dataprovider. Another custom component has horizontal slider and scrollbar controls that operate on the dataprovider to allow zoom and scroll capability. Implementation-wise, there is really nothing in common between these components. Their parent container incorporates both the zoom-scroll control and the chart/grid component and sets their dataproviders to the same object. Do you think this particular use case would be a good candidate for implementing as chart extensions?
