transpose or rotate graph or chart

(in the category: has to be duplicate, can't find it)

 

How come we can transpose a intensity graph, but not "rotate" a waveform graph or chart?

 

Every now and then I need some data to be displayed vertically. Now I have to make a loop, and put the I and Values in arrays and clusters. This (at least) doubles my data. I also can't use chart functionallity anymore (add one sample, using chart history length). I have to do the buffering myself, and add the entire growing array each time a value is added. This can be a real performance hit.

 

XY graphs don't need this feature (you can switch the data). It could still be convenient to have. But might be confusing since the inputs are labelled x array and y array.

 

The menu option should probably be "Transpose scales" or "Rotate .." or something. That's debatable.

 

Also not sure if the scale labels should automatically be swapped. Probably not (since all properties refer to X and Y scales). I changed them in the image to illustrate the rotation action.

Damn, I tried every combination of rotate, transpose, graph and chart. I did not try "Rotation".

 

So everyone, please kudo this:

 

Allow axis swap for Waveform charts/graphs and intensity charts (and possibly others)
