Description

We've previously had the ability to do brushed filters in RStudio but they were cramped and not continuously displayed in the UI/Column label:

We'd like to improve on that with a histogram for continuous data within the Summary Panel. This will give us more horizontal space as well as cleaner left/right boundaries compared to the typically limited number of bins required for the previous implementation.

Research direction

Start by locating the Data Explorer Summary Panel and any existing brushed-filter implementation, then compare their behavior with the screenshots in the issue. Done means continuous data has a histogram in the Summary Panel with a continuously visible brushed filter and clearer left/right boundaries.
