Big datazap update! Gauges, Playback, Save Layouts!

[jpsimon]

It's been a little while since the last www.datazap.me update - I was busy doing adult things like getting married and such... but that being said I've also been working on some cool new datazap things. Let's start with the new chart page features:

Gauge View
First, I added a new gauge view. It's a nice way to visualize a lot of data without muddying up the chart. To use it just click the "Gauge View" button, then choose up to 10 data channels to display as a gauge. As you mouse over the chart the gauges update live.

Log Playback
Next, I added a new playback feature. Click the "Play" button and whatever you have in view on the chart will play back to you. If you have any gauges active those will update throughout the playback as well.

Saved Layouts
And last but definitely not least... the thing that's been requested the most... you can now save your layouts so you don't have to manually turn on the same specific data channels every time you load up a chart. To use this, just set up a chart as you like - this includes the normal chart, individual axis, and gauges. Then click the "Layout" dropdown button, and choose "Save Current Layout". You'll be brought to a new page where you name it, then returned to where you left off. From then on you can select that layout by clicking the "Layout" dropdown button and selecting your saved layout. You can save as many different layouts as you want, and access them all from that menu.

I've also changed up the profile page a little bit. I cleaned things up with a tabs, and this is also where you can now edit/delete your saved chart layouts. You'll also notice a little update/news box above the tabs. I thought it would be a good idea to be able to notify you of any potential site downtime/updates/etc.

Oh, also... DashCommand CSV logs are now supported! Just make sure you export it as a CSV instead of their LGF format.
