Why can't prometheus show range vector output in range query

[savannahar68]

Hi everyone,

I’ve observed that the output of a Range Vector in an Instant Query (Table view) and an Instant Vector in a Range Query (Graph view) produces the same data. Given this similarity in response, I’m curious to understand what prevents Prometheus from displaying a graph against range vector with range query?

Is there a specific reason or lack of my understanding?

Thanks!
