Summary0005051: Array index bad default for X axis
DescriptionWhenever you make an XY plot, the default for the X axis is to plot against the Y array index. This is a bad default for practical situations (I cannot think of a counter example).

In the case of the output from the Plot Over Line filter, the x axis should be the distance, in world coordinates, along the line.

In the case of the extract cell or point information over time, the x axis should give the time value. Yes, I know you can set this up with the Display panel, but it should be automatic. This is related to bug 0004944, which also requests special handling of arrays with specific meanings.

The x-axis defaults have been changed. If Time is in the array list it is used. If Probe_Location is in the list, the distance is used.
