Filter outputs plotted by data graph to allow multiple graphs

Thank you for this wonderful piece of software.

I've been using it for a while, and I tend to keep a lot of various circuits in a single large file.
Using Data Graph becomes tedious, since it plots all outputs that are present in a file.
I know about "Show in measurement graph" option, however it doesn't allow outputs to be selectively plotted in a graph, and thus having multiple graphs for different output groups is not possible.

I can think of two solutions:

  • Add a new field to Data Graph component which allows to specify which outputs it should monitor (alternatively, glob/regex pattern can be used to filter outputs by labels)
  • If Data Graph is placed in a Rectangle decoration, it could only plot outputs that are also present in the same rectangle; if it's placed outside of rectangle - then it should plot all outputs (default behavior).

What do you people think? Are there any other obvious solutions that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance!
