[Kst] resubmission of annotation exporting

[Info@transtuner]

I decided to kindly resubmit this- I will appreciate any response.   

Hello everyone, I have looked at many other data plotting softwares and 
KST seems to be the best foundation for what I need.  I'm not well 
educated in C++ or any programming but am motivated to learn if I need 
to.  I was wondering if the following might be considered for inclusion 
in future updates or if what I need could be built with a custom plugin.

I analyze 30-40 minute csv streams with hrs:minutes:seconds as the X 
axis and plot 9 to 11 Y axis curves.  I zoom the x axis to one second 
intervals or smaller.  I would like to have the ability to highlight all 
y data points at the same time as I pan through the data with my right 
and left arrow keys, contrasted to being limited to highlighting data on 
just one curve as it is now.  I would also like to be able to annotate 
at particular places on the x axis and be able to export those 
annotations to another csv file for a "bird's eye" view of my 
annotations.

Are my wants going to be difficult for an experienced programmer to 
write, or does it seem fairly do-able?  Are there any developers out 
there that would be willing to take on such a project to earn a bounty? I've looked at the 
source with kdevelop and have not been able to find the "highlight data 
points" mode feature, nor have I been able to compile it yet.

Some free programs have limited exporting features but are not really 
good enough to use extensively- such as datplot.  Panning is a real 
chore as it must be done with mouse keys or by dragging the mouse.  
Other programs have good highlighting features but do not import typical 
csv files.  I tried out Sigma-plot and was very disappointed - kst is 
better already for what I need.

Having the ability to plot multiple y curves in the same plot with their 
own Y scale would be very nice as well, my data curves range from a 0-6 
scale on one y and 0-4000 on others, with several 0-100 in between.  
Plotting the Y curves in separate charts is the only way I can see the 
0-6 curve, and that is something I can live with, but it would be great 
to see all curves in the same plot.

Thanks, Jason
