[Kst] how to show last 100 points of a file that is growing with kst2?

[Barth Netterfield]

I plot the last N samples from a growing file all the time.  In fact,
this is our primary use case for kst2.

The way I handle this is to have the vectors contain the last 100
samples only, and have the plot X axis be in auto-scale mode.

To do this, when you create the vectors (eg, in the data wizard),  select
     [x] Count From End
and set number of frames to 100.
Then the vector will always contain the last 100 frames in the file,
and will scroll along as the file grows.

Does this make sense?
