Description Nicolas Brisset 2004-09-09 18:26:41 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

When reorganizing curves and plots, a nicer way than a specific dialog would be to allow curve drag&drop. This should obviously work only in layout mode so that it is consistent and does not interfere with zooming operations.

THe way I imagine this is:
- when the pointer comes within a given (small) distance of a curve, it changes to a hand (or whatever other form suggests that one may click there and enter a drag event). The curve could also be highlighted like icons in konqueror if it is not too resource-intensive.
- click and drag: the curve follows
- drop on a graph: the curve is moved (or better: a popup asks whether it should be copied or moved).

There are already two ways to achieve the same thing:

1) the Content tab of the Plot Dialog
2) the right-click context menu of a Curve object within the data manager

Both of these are simple and effective and I don't see that anything would be gained by adding another method which would not be immediately obvious to the user.
