fast color scale adjustment via right click context menu

[hogi]

☐ cool new feature
☑ could help many users!

☐ removes a „bug“

☐ nice to have

☐ nobody needs it

Options:
- min-max

-  auto (=main distribution without outliers)
 e.g. median +/- 3 (5?) Col IRQ (see: Jarmo's proposal: https://community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Wish-List/Add-normalization-and-robust-statistical-functions-and-ma...)

@hogi could you be more specific in your request and describe how you think this could be done and what problems it would solve for you?  Thanks.

current axis scaling tries to get all ponits into the plot.

This is nice for the BigClass data set - but less helpful in the presence of outliers.

Then one has to manually re-scale the axes:
"let's zoom in - ah, where is the main distribution, how large is the spread ..."

But such a re-scaling could be done automatically by a function in the right click context menu of the axis:

the scale is reduced to the main distribution - intentionally hiding some outliers.

For me this would be the preferred setting for new plots.

If I want to see all outliers, I can zoom out, either manually or perhaps with another fuction in the right click context menu: "show all"

I found out that in the "gradient" menu there is already a selection for the range types.
But the only 2 options are "exact data range" and middle 90%.

Hm ...

Is i possilbe to manually add user-defined options?

If not, could you please add some of these options:

- middle xxx % (with the option to specify the xxx% , e.g. 90% like above, or 99%)
- alternative: 1%-Quantile ... 99% quantile [looks often much better than the "middle 90%"]

- median +/- N sigma (N e.g. 3)

- start from 0 (upper end e.g. median + 3 sigma or max?)

@SamGardner ?

Some preferences for the Graphics range settings would be great.
I'd love middle 99%

[hogi]

I added a button to Graph Builder Toolbar to activate/deactivate middle 90%.
It will also add a warning message in the legend.
