UI Request: Show Datasets Nested within Axes #191

Closed billdenney closed 4 years ago

billdenney commented 4 years ago

Currently, the UI for selecting axes and datasets does not show which datasets are associated with which axes. The left box looks like this with a current file that I'm working with:

I have to go to the dataset to confirm that it is within the axis that I mean for it to be within.

Would it be reasonable to show the datasets within the axis like:

As a second request here: It would also help if axes with no datasets and datasets with no data were shown differently (perhaps the name is colored red). That would help give a to-do list for me to fill.

The axes and dataset are separated to make it easy to switch axes on a dataset when needed. If I change the tree structure then have to also add option to move datasets between these and that's a lot more complicated thing to do in code.
