"Shakes, wobbles and flickers" when user is scrolling while algo is running with 200 points, which isn't a huge number of points if you consider other means of showing time series data. Positioning algo is dumb if it doesn't take UX into account when number of points is relatively large. It should pause while the user is scrolling.
Also, it is a futile to suggest that automatically placing labels is scalable for any number of labels beyond 40 or so. The resulting diagram beyond 40 or so points is incomprehensible. I tried 200, but 50 or 70 would also most likely result in messy diagram.
I will always downvote complaints about downvotes.
I do this because
* I don't want to see complaints about downvotes
* I believe that they are unconstructive 99% of the time
* I don't think anyone else wants to see them
Your comments have repeatedly broken the HN guidelines by being both uncivil and unsubstantive. We ban accounts that do that, so please (re-)read the guidelines and follow them from now on.
