Feature Request: Graphing Debug Variables

Type: Feature Request

Something that would be super awesome for this extension would be to be able to plot debugging variables on a graph. I am not a UI guy, but I would think that with all the CSS and JS, this might be not as hard as it is to implement in other IDEs? I think an example is the best way to explain this.

1. Mark a variable(s) in the debug view window as graphed.
2. Internally, the extension knows to either use GDB trace or to add a breakpoint on modification.
3. The extension takes these values as the program runs and plots them as series on a graph.

Another option would be to allow the X axis to either be "time" or "sample". In cases of debugging tests, sample would be most useful. If you were debugging something real-time, time would probably be most useful.

The result would be something like this:

Eventually, expanding graphing capabilities would be a truly powerful tool for understanding a program's execution at a glance and IMO would greatly speed up debugging capabilities, giving VSCode and this plugin a real edge over other IDEs.

Thanks for reading and thanks for all the work on the extension!

L'issue non indica file, test o punti di ingresso. Inizia esaminando l'architettura di debug-view e trace o breakpoint dell'estensione; il lavoro sarebbe completato quando fosse possibile selezionare variabili da tracciare e visualizzarne i valori come serie di grafici rispetto al tempo o al campione.
