Description

Hi @wolfpld, I'd like to add support for "plot aggregation" so that a plot can be configured to show an average, sum, or other aggregation of the underlying data points when zooming out. This is very useful since in multiple projects I often want to see the data points at a fine timescale, but also would like to see their sum or average when I zoom out.

I believe I can implement this in a very inexpensive way and would like your thoughts before I implement so I can avoid changes later (assuming you would merge this at all). Cheers!

Research direction

Start by reviewing Tracy's plot and zooming behavior to identify the existing entry points for configuring and rendering plot data. Clarify which aggregation functions and zoom thresholds are required, then define tests or observable examples for average, sum, and other supported aggregations before implementation.
