genui documentation needs updating #155

Open nthallen opened 2 years ago

nthallen commented 2 years ago

There are elements of the genui syntax that are missing from the documentation. This includes aspects of the Rate and Scale syntaxes.

Scale is currently only used for ui plotting. Need to think about how to work that into rt plots.

I am not sure the concept is well defined or even well conceived. The idea was that the extracted value would remain, but a scale or offset could be applied before plotting, which could achieve a unit transformation in a particular context. I think the real concern here is how this obscures the actual definition of particular variables.

Offhand, I think the genui syntax should have a substantial overhaul to make the syntax more intuitive and to allow passing parameters to specific downstream processors.

Note: It would not be difficult to pass scale information through the rt_*.m file.
