Package: gnuplot Version: 4.4.0-1.1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
I would like to suggest some improvements for gnuplot that might be of interest for many people: * Broken bar charts. Often the data for a barchart contains many small values and one massive value (e.g. if we analyze some fault in a system, where in most cases the system works correctly). In these cases the nicest way to display the data is to break the y axis so that one can see details of the small values and the large values (which are not proportional to the small ones obviuosly). * Arbitrary scaling for the (y) axis. Gnuplot has a really nice logscaling for the axis. It would be nice to be able to use a user-defined function to do the scaling. * (workaround for the above) There is a way to specify ticks on the y axis together with the user defined label. It would be handy to be able to define a function that would take the value and return the string for the label. This way one would benefit from gnuplots algorithms to generate tics, but could arbitralily change the labels (and e.g. achieve the previous point) Regards, Grzegorz -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnuplot depends on: ii gnuplot-nox 4.4.0-1.1+b1 ii gnuplot-x11 4.4.0-1.1+b1 gnuplot recommends no packages.
