Ref T13279. Replace the hard-coded default range with a range computed by examining the chart data. Instead of having a "Dataset" return a blob of wire data, "Dataset" now returns a structure with raw wire data plus a range. I expect to add more structured data here in future changes (tooltip/hover event data, maybe function labels).

Comment Actions Yeah, I ideally want to try to round up, up to X%, to the nearest "nice" number, like if the range is 0-93 we show 0-100, since "100" is the nearest "nice round number" above 93. There was some simple code for this before (visual-max = actual-max * 1.2 or something) which makes the shape of the graph look good but doesn't produce the most satisfying ticks on the Y-axis or the ideally satisfying Y-max. The algorithm for producing a "nice round number larger than X" isn't immediately intuitively obvious to me, though. And if the range is 0-100 inclusive, is it better to draw a chart with a satisfyingly round y-max, or to intentionally waste space at the top and select a dissatisfying visual y-max? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
