Description Nicolas Brisset 2004-10-19 14:21:53 UTC 
Version:           1.0.0_devel (using KDE 3.3.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2
OS:                SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8

I understand that in some cases (labels too long to fit in available space) the display switches to the "base + offset" mode, with one value displayed completely and others with e.g. +1 +2 etc.
I think that this is very cool and it should be possible to force it (radiobutton in Plot Dialog/Axes tab ?) even when there is enough room. For example, consider experiments where absolute time is irrelevant but you want to look at what happens at [event + 1s], [event + 2s], etc...

Maybe it would be nice to also be able to manually enter the base value (to really have the plot start at the right time). In the case the value is changed manually, it should be the only one displayed normally (exact value), other ticks showing positive or negative offsets. That would allow zooming/scrolling to not break the display.

CVS commit by arwalker: 

Allow the user to force the axes (x and/or y) to be displayed in base and offset mode.
