[Feature request] Add stack/unstack toggle to panel menu #10714

Please include this information:

What Grafana version are you using? 4.6.3
What datasource are you using? Prometheus
What OS are you running grafana on? Ubuntu 16.04

Currently if I want to switch between stacked and unstacked mode for graph panel I have to edit the panel and toggle "stacked" box there. It would be useful to have stack/unstack toggle next to each panel for easy way to change mode.

Justification:

both stacked and unstacked modes have advantages and often neither is clearly better than the other
sometimes it's not clear whether lines are stacked or not, I need to add "stacked/unstacked" to panel title
ability to quickly toggle mode would save some users from creating duplicated panels
it would allow anonymous users to switch panel mode. Currently only logged in users have this ability

I think implementation could be similar to one for https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/9722

will need to be added to the panel menu, so you can click on the panel title then toggle stack from there.

I like the ability to switch between stacked & unstacked graphs in 1 click on the Prometheus UI, it would be great to have it on Grafana also.

To (try to) improve the proposal made in the rejected PR https://github.com/grafana/grafana/pull/15885 , maybe the 'Toggle stacking' option added here could be shown/hidden based on a new parameter that would be available under Panel Edit > Visualization > Stacking & Null value like the following :

alt text

This to avoid having too much corner-cases options displayed all the time.

WDYT ?

Isn't there any way to create a template variable and use it in the stacking JSON Model?

{
        "current": {
          "selected": true,
          "text": "Off",
          "value": "normal"
        },
        "hide": 0,
        "includeAll": false,
        "label": "Stacked",
        "multi": false,
        "name": "stacking",
        "options": [
          {
            "selected": true,
            "text": "Off",
            "value": "normal"
          },
          {
            "selected": false,
            "text": "On",
            "value": "none"
          }
        ],
        "query": "Off : normal, On : none",
        "queryValue": "",
        "skipUrlSync": false,
        "type": "custom"
      }

And then:

"stacking": {
              "group": "A",
              "mode": "${stacking}"
},

My OCD screams every day because a colleague wants to have each row of the dashboard duplicated for stacked and non stacked data... :(
