Hi @thomasneirynck, @ppisljar I'm building upon the code provided in the Developing Visualizations webinar. I've successfully enabled the timepicker and my visualizations get properly updated. Now I want to query and filter it. How would I go about it? P.S.: I'm not in editorMode. Regards! ---

hi @havidarou, do you want to send a filter to the filter-bar when you click on a part of your chart? For that, you will have to use the filter event-handler. For some sample code, you can dig around some of the existing visualizations in Kibana. For example, this is how we do it when clicking a tag on the tag-cloud: > This produces a filter for that particular term. ---

i think he is talking about embedding visualizations in his app ? currently the only way to do that is by loading the saved object on your own and adding filters/query to the `searchSource` and then calling `embedVisualizationWithSavedObject`. there are plans to make this easier in the future. ---

@thomasneirynck there is a nicer way to apply filters on click (check the webinar code) which doesn't require creating AggConfigResults ---

@thomasneirynck @ppisljar Yes I mean an embedded visualization in the app plugin. How can I do it with AggConfigResults? Right now I can filter the visualizations using the timepicker and I've successfully used the kbn-top-nav with the query-bar directives in the plugin, and can filter using text queries. I'm trying to use the filter-bar directive (I've had to import it, it isn't include using autoload/all) but no luck with it so far. The plan is to use the filter-bar along the click thing with the visualizations. Help! xD Thanks! ---
