Better AxisScales for Parallel plot

What inspired this wish list request? 

The Parallel Plot (Sankey Plot) option in Graph builder is great! It provides you a very intuitive way to compare a multitude of columns.

You can even flip a scale to align columns which anticorrelate.

 

But there is one big problem which makes the parallel plot less useful than it could be:
There is no possibility to adjust the individual scales, like. e.g. in this Add-In: Parallel Plot with Axis Scaling   by @txnelson .

Therefore, a single outlier point can ruin a whole "column".

there are some option to solve the issue - with their own drawbacks:
- Nuke the outlier data point.
- Switch to log (x+1) scale,  as @jules showed @ Discovery summit Europe 2023.

 

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Please provide an functionality to adjust the scales in Parallel Plot. 

Nice: an option to choose ranges in order of MAD (median absolute deviation), e.g. +/-3MAD, +/-6MAD.

 

 

Why is this idea important? 

With the new functionality, Parallel Plot will be much more useful than it is now.
