Change semantics of the non-linear time-scale mode
This patch changes the semantics of the non-linear mode from scaling the y-axis (CPU load) to scaling the x-axis (time). This enables the cpugraph plugin to display CPU load history up to 16 hours into the past using a width of just 128 pixels in case the update interval is 3 seconds.
| Display width | Update interval (seconds) | Linear range | Non-linear range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 128 | 3 | 6m | 16h |
| 60 | 3 | 3m | 31m |
| 128 | 0.25 | 32s | 80m |
| 60 | 0.25 | 15s | 2.6m |
The implementation uses an exponential function with base 1.04.
The behavior of scaling the y-axis (CPU load) according to how far it is in the past can be restored in a future patch upon request.
