Would you consider adding Stem-and-Leaf plots to LabPlot?

Looks interesting.
Comment 2 disuser 2020-04-25 06:40:48 UTC 
Why the the Stem-and-Leaf plots are worth implementing?

"The stem-and-leaf can be examined in more detail than the histogram because the bars of a histogram can hide distances between points within them. However, gaps such as these can be detected in stem-and-leaf displays because they retain the numeric values of the data. Both the histogram and stem-and-leaf displays are to some degree simplifications of distributions, but the numeric values in the stem-and-leaf reduce the possibility of oversimplification."
