"She's looking good Vern!" (anyone else get that Far Side reference?)
One thing I think would help when trying to correlate things against the trace
plot would be to have an option to 'pin' a chart/trace just like an Excel
freeze pane. If I have a lot of charts I want to compare against the trace to
see which ones look like a smoking gun, I have 2 problems.
* pmchart scales ALL the charts to fit the current window bounds. You have a
lot of charts, and you get almost spark-line style views, hardly readable. Be
better if there was a scroll pane allowing one to scroll down through a longer
list of charts each with a bigger natural style
* However it would be good to pin a trace, and/or a set of other charts 'above
the line' (the scrollbar pane) allowing a fixed set of panels to stay to the
top/bottom, and the scroll bar pane of other charts can then be scrolled to
compare with the base set for comparison.
I wonder if being able to click on an event point adds a subtle vertical line
at that time point on each of the other visible charts to aid with correlation,
even in the event of the scrollbar idea above, it's nice to have that to aid
the eye.
Anyway, bring it on Skippy. Nice work.
