Fixed y-axis

[ghost]

Hey, I extended this thing to allow a fixed y-axis, instead of computing the bounds automatically. Just add min- and max fields to the config object. The data will be clamped in case it goes out of bounds. Feel free to commit.

"use strict";

(function (exports) {

    exports.plot = function (series, cfg = undefined) {
        cfg         = (typeof cfg !== 'undefined') ? cfg : {}
        let min = cfg.min;
        let max = cfg.max;
        if (min === undefined || max === undefined) {
            min = series[0]
            max = series[0]
            for (let i = 1; i < series.length; i++) {
                min = Math.min (min, series[i])
                max = Math.max (max, series[i])
            }
        } else {
            // clamp values to min, max
            for (let i = 0; i < series.length; i++) {
                series[i] = Math.max(min, Math.min(max, series[i]))

            result[y - min2][offset - 1] = (y == 0) ? '┼' : '┤'
        }
