Heh, yeah, guess that waay simple chart did look a bit like an inflatable

Most excellent idea. Almost needs some way of shearing off the
timeline and allowing independent pmtime "Stops" for independent
groups of charts. Intriguing concepts.

Ah, yes - good call. I've wished for that with just the regular
sampling charts too in the past - thanks. That one's eminently
doable relative quickly too, will add that to the short-term list.
