Changes
Many timeseries depict a "state" of some sort that was measured at specific points in time.
Simply drawing a line between the points of measurement often feels weird to me. I rather think "the value has been y from t1 to t2, then at t2 we got a new value".
So I added a style for line graphs that creates a LinePlot with steps:
As we no longer have two options (smooth yes/no) but three options,
the interface needed to be changed:
The option is now called
plot_type
, with the options:direct
:smooth
:step
If
plot_type
is not provided, we fall back to thesmoothed
option.
