Changes

1. Converted Timeplot from a UI file to a Python code file
2. Implemented legend functionality for the plot
3. Used rainbow method to add a rainbow color scheme to distinguish multiple curves
4. Enhanced the plot update method to incorporate new features
5. Improved user interface with additional plot settings

Key Updates

• Defined the TimeplotGUI class in Python, which allows for easier maintenance/modifications
• The Plot class extends TimeplotGUI and implements the core plotting functionality
• Added make_rainbow method to generate distinct colors for each curve
• Implemented _add_curves_to_plot method to add color-coded curves to the plot
• Updated the update method by breaking it down into smaller methods for better readability and maintainability.
• Ensured legend visibility by calling self.plot.showLegend() in _update_plot_settings

@hmarts9 have you had a chance to look at this?

[lisazacarias]

Looks good! If this is just a problem with my local version that's fine but it wasn't scrolling until I added the update mode line. If it works for you I'll switch this to approved

[lisazacarias]

I think this should be in the init

[hmarts9]

I definitely understand wanting to move it in the init, but I just put it in the setup_ui method, bc it follows separation of concerns principle by grouping all UI creation into one dedicated method. I can move it if you think thats better though.

[lisazacarias]

I think we need the line self.plot.updateMode = PyDMTimePlot.AtFixedRated to actually make it scroll, at least in my local testing

[hmarts9]

Oh yeah youre right. That would help with the scrolling behavior ill add it!
