Description
Which problem would you like to address? Please describe.
It would be convenient if there was an option to scale data before plotting. E.g. the time unit in the model might be seconds, but one might want to have hours on the x-axis for plotting.
Describe the solution you would like
One could add an additional field to provide a coefficient for scaling the data. Not sure how to name it. {x,y}Scale are already used for a different purpose.
Not sure how relevant this would be beyound unit conversion. So in case #500 would be addtessed, one could also implement this in terms of providing a unit for the respective axes.
Describe alternatives you have considered
Not using the PEtab visualization table, but creating plots manually.

Research direction
Begin with the PEtab visualization table specification and existing handling of x and y axes. The issue does not name files, entry points, or tests, so first determine where visualization-table fields are defined and validated. Done should include an agreed scaling or unit approach with corresponding specification and test coverage.
