It would be great for ancient DNA applications where there are samples of varying ages to be able to plot those on the x- or y-axes with their relative position on that axis scaled to age. So say if there are samples that are 50,000 years old, and another at 30,000, 12,000, 8,000 etc., that one could choose the max/min cut-offs on the line chart for age and then plot the taxonomic read abundances per taxon node relative to the ages of the samples so one can see a scaled shift of ecosystem change through time. Currently, when I’ve been doing that, each sample is placed an equidistance position apart, which is great in some applications. But it would be handy if there was an option to add a temporal scaling on the charts rather than needing to export the data to R or Excel (or otherwise) to get that functionality.
Also, if there was an option to get smoothing for the line charts, that would be really handy as well! My plots are a bit jagged currently unless I export the read data to other software.
Thanks!
