Problem with repeated values on x-axis about plotjuggler

One year later...

I am afraid that this time I will not be able to give you a quick fix..
The assumption of monotonic time is made in many parts of the code,being a notable example the publisher plugin.

I guess I got a bit greedy, seeing how quickly you made the other fixes. I suppose I can put some effort into cleaning my data up a bit :)

However, is there any reason this should not work on an XY plot? Because, for me it does not.

[facontidavide]

it is really a problem of data structures. It might look as a simple feature from the outside but it will affect many parts of the code, not just the XY plot (several corner cases should be taken into account).
In other words, I am afraid I will prioritize other features, since this one requires a lot of work for a comparably small gain.

Don't hesitate anyway to ask for improvements. if I can, I am usually happy to work on them.

[dmiklic]

Sure I understand. Anyways, 2/3 fixes within 24 hours is a very decent score :)

Could we leave the issue open? I understand that It won't get fixed in the near future (or maybe ever :) and there are straightforward workarounds, but I feel like the feature itself is not unreasonable.

[facontidavide]

of course it is not unreasonable ;)

Great, thanks! :)
