option to 'connect the dots' in a scatter plot #230

cqid: VisIt00008958cqsubmitter: Mark Millercqsubmitdate: 08/11/09 This is related to 8959. Our scatter plot does not generate actual paths in 'phase space' even if the input data is 'phase related'. All you get is a bunch of points. I think when the numbers of points are low as in curve data (see 8959), we ought to have the option of 'drawing lines between points known to be neighbors in the input mesh'. I think this option would be useful even for 2 and 3D rect and unstructured grids of moderate size. Yes, you would get what appears to be inter-tangled lines, but the trend the lines would suggest might be more useful than just the dots themselves.

Removing from reviewed state due to request from Teams.

Keith MacKay indicated a need to scatter plot two curves for a trajectory of the two curves, one plotted against the other.

In the case of a scatter plot where the two variables being plotted are curve variables, we might want to always connect the dots and maybe have an option to NOT connect the dots.
