Select-a-Graph, Would Previous/Next Period buttons be useful

Post by aussiewmr »

Hi All,

I use select-a-graph quite a lot to review my data in detail to check for issues.
What I do is set a 24 Hr period and keep changing the date to go forward and back in time. Sometimes I set smaller periods like 6 or 8 hrs depending on the parameter of interest.
Its not too bad to pan in time if its 24 Hrs because you just change the date, but when its say 8 Hrs then changing the time is a little fiddly and worse when the day boundary is crossed.

What I soon thought was it would be great if there were two buttons - one for going back and one for forward according to the current period.

Is this as feature anyone else would find useful? - if so I will submit a enhancement request. I am sure Steve will comment and any submission would be dependent on feedback from Steve.

Cheers
Phil

That sounds like a good enhancement to me too. The Select-A-Graph interface probably needs a complete overhaul.
