Monitors & custom math #6

Open mpmdean opened 5 years ago

mpmdean commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the demo which is developing nicely! I have a couple of questions/suggestions

  1. Plotting signal divided by monitor versus scanned motor or time is a very common requirement. It's not obvious that this is easily done at the moment. I guess this is in the pipeline?

  2. What type of basic plot manipulations are envisaged?

  1. Yes. Currently you just get some default plots (as specified by "hints"). Soon there will be an option to add or modify figures, selecting from a list of all the columns in the data or entering a Python expression, with access to math functions in numpy. For each figure you add, you will be able to select one X axis and one or more groups of Y variables to plot together or separately on one or more axes. As now, it will be possible to "over-plot" scans.
  2. Anything on your mind other than what I addressed in (1)?

  1. Scaling one plot line to another would be useful. i.e. multiplying by a factor so that both curves have the same maximum.
