[Kst] Why do equations create 2 slave vectors?

[Brisset, Nicolas]

Hi,

 

I was wondering about something: why do equations create 2 slave
vectors? 

If I remember right, in ancient times it wasn't the case and I can't
really see why that's needed. I find it very confusing, and have seen
other people stuggle with that. Plus, it comes pretty bad in the way of
some other things (like the color per file tool). So I'm wondering:
can't we change that now that kst2 is still fresh and young and we are
not so much bound by user habits?

 

What I'd suggest is that one equation creates one vector, and that the
creation of a derived curve be optional (which it is not really right
now, you *have to* create a curve, the only thing you can do is not to
put it in any plot). We could add somewhere a "Create curve" checkbox
that toggles activation of the bottom part of the dialog (from selection
of the X vector down to curves properties and placement).

 

Does that sound realistic or have I overseen some major issue?
