[Kst] [Bug 134343] Automatically create labels from ELOG events

[Duncan Hanson]

I think that it would be nice to create a new type of data object to 
encapsulate plot marker behaviour.

The way that plot markers are currently done is kind of a hassle. They have to 
be input in the 2d plot dialog, and require a curve for input. So if you want 
to create plot markers from an ELOG event, you have to create the event, 
derive a curve from it, and then select it in your 2D plot dialog.

I put a tutorial about this in the newdocs- but if people don't read it they 
may have a difficult time figuring it out. It's not really in line with Kst's 
object model.

If we made a "Marker" data object, with a subvector containing x-positions 
this would all be alot easier. Event monitors could automatically create 
marker sub(ob)jects, which could be inserted into plots to draw the correct 
markers. We could then extend markers to maintain a list of strings 
associated with x-values, and they could draw these into the plots if 
required.
