Plot multiple variables at once #10

Open naught101 opened 7 years ago

naught101 commented 7 years ago

Sometimes it is nice to be able to view multiple variables at once.

It can be useful to compare multiple variables in the same way (e.g. small multiples), e.g. two or more timeseries of different variables, with linked zoom frames ("facetting"), or two or more panels of 2D image plots.

It can also be useful to plot one variable against another (e.g. scatter plot).

Would it take much to get such options into Argos?

Yes, this is on my long-term todo list. I absolutely intent to do this but it will take time. I want to do this right and take the proper time for it (this also means that I won't accept pull request on this subject). My general intention is that you can add more than one variable to the collector, which, as you can see, is already a table for this reason.

So yes, this will be implemented but you will have to be patient. Think months rather than weeks, but hopefully this year.

@titusjan I really want to use your software but without multi variable support it is rather useless for me. Are you now willing to accept pull requests?
