Export of Monitoring Graphs #101

Open parisipa opened 3 months ago

parisipa commented 3 months ago

Hello!

In BaramFlow, the monitoring of the variables is real time is a fantastic feature. I think a useful addition could be the ability to add axes to the graphs and export them. Since they are already of nice quality with matplotlib, it is a shame to have to remake them in python or excel. Perhaps in future releases, there could be a little post processing tab to do this.

Keep up the great work with this tool.

Hi @parisipa, I thought the graph was just for monitoring how the value was changing. I didn't expect the entire series of values were used for any other purpose. Could you please let me know your needs in detail? I understand that you need axes in the chart and the feature of exporting the chart. What I'm asking is the use of the exported charts. I'm asking this to study the best design for the target use. Thank you.

Best regards, Jake

Hello, The graphs can be useful when compiling some reports or internal documentation. Prove the case convergence, showcase the results etc.

Even with just the axes included, I could take screenshots. When monitoring the variables, we get the data in the .dat file. This is the same, just in the form of a picture.

Best regards, Angie

Regarding axes in your comment, Do you mean axis title like following?

Hi Jake,

Yes, exactly. I think it would be useful to have that on both axes alongside the units if possible.

Thanks for the response.
