Visual tweaks specific to this measurement setup
* include a numeric representation of the regression line
* include descriptive axis labels
* improve the key names to clarify their meaning
* heuristic code for the x-ticks
Package these customisations as a helper function into the measurement tool
...which is added automatically whenever additional data columns are present
Result can only be verified visually
* the upper diagram should show the first fibonacci points
* a (correct) linear regression line should be overlayed in red
* below, a secondary diagram should appear, with aligned axis
* the row "one" in this diagram should be shown as impulses
* the further rows "two" and "three" should be drawn as
green points, using the secondary Y-axis (values 100-250)
* Gnuplot can handle missing data points
The idea is to build the Layout-branching into the generated Gnuplot script,
based on the number of data columns detected. If there is at least one further
data column, then the "mulitplot" layout will be used to feature this
additional data in a secondary diagram below with aligned axis;
if more than one additional data column is present, all further
visualisation will draw points, using the secondary Y-axis
Moreover, Gnuplot can calculate the linear regresssion line itself,
and the drawing will then be done using an `arrow` command,
defining a function regLine(x) based on the linear model.
The intention is to create a library of convenient building blocks;
providing a visualisation should be as simple as invoking a free function
with CSV data, yet with the ability to tweak some lables or display
variations if desired.
This can be achieved by..
* having a series of ready-made standard visualisations
* expose a function call for each, accepting a data-context builder
* provide secondary convenience shortcuts, which add some of the expected bindings
* notably a shortcut is provided to take the data as CSV-string
* augmented by a wrapper/builder to allow defining data points inline
Deliberately keep it unstructured and add dedicated functions
for each new emerging use case; hopefully some commen usage scheme
will emerge over time.
* Data is to be handed in as an iterator over CSV-strings.
* will have to find out about additional parametrisation on a case-by-case base
