Version: 1.1.0_devel (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.4.3 OS: SunOS (sun4u) release 5.8 One of the niftiest tools in kst is the datawizard, which is tightly integrated and quite useful. We use it a lot to look at time series, where the X vector is almost always time and the Y vector the variables we are looking at. We start by loading a few variables, and then load more according to what we find in the first series of variables. And that's where there is a painful problem: the X vector is always regenerated, even if we actually wanted to reuse an existing vector. Note that this can be very penalizing in terms of memory/CPU use! The only other option would be to create vectors one by one and then curves, a much lengthier process! That is why I think the datawizard should offer an option (radiobuttons) to choose to either reuse an existing vector as X, or load it from the datasource along with the Y vectors. The drop-down list would either present a list of existing vectors or vectors provided by the datasource according to the radiobutton status.
SVN commit 427809 by rchern: Allow use of existing vector in data wizard - radiobuttons allow selection of "Create from field" or "Use existing" for the x vector - New/Edit buttons in the vectorselector are hidden CCMAIL: 107580-done@bugs.kde.org M +126 -66 datawizard.ui M +185 -167 datawizard.ui.h
