-Modifications of existing graphs
---------------------------------
-
-The proposed modifications include the changes in:
-
-- the layout of the graphs,
-- the data and way how it is presented,
-- the test cases presented in the graphs.
-
-The first two points are described below, the last one will be added later as a
-separate chapter.
-
-.. _Speedup Multi-core:

-
-The "Speedup Multicore" graph will display the measured data together with
-perfect values calculated as multiples of the best value measured using one
-core. The relative difference between measured and perfect values will be
-displayed in the hover next to each data point.

-.. _Grouping of tests in graphs:
-
-Grouping of tests in graphs
----------------------------
-
-A graph can present results of one or more tests. The tests are grouped
-according to the defined criteria. In the ideal case, all graphs use the same
-groups of tests.
-
-The grouping of tests is described in a separate document.
-
-.. TODO: [MK], [TF]: Create the document.
-.. TODO: [TF]: Add the link.
-.. TODO: [TF]: Remove/edit the next paragraph when the document is ready.
-
-**Example of data grouping:**
-
-- ip4: ip4base, ip4scale20k, ip4scale200k, ip4scale2m
- - data presented in this order from left to right
-- ip6: similar to ip4
-- l2bd: similar to ip4.
-
-.. _Sorting of tests presented in a graph:
-
-Sorting of tests presented in a graph
--------------------------------------
-
-It is possible to specify the order of tests (suites) on the x-axis presented in
-a graph:
-
-- `Packet Throughput`_
-- `Packet Latency`_
-
-It is possible to specify the order of tests (suites) in the legend presented in
-a graph:
-
-- `Speedup Multi-core`_
-
-In both cases the order is defined in the specification file for each plot
-separately, e.g.:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
- -
- type: "plot"
- <other parameters>
- sort:
- - "IP4BASE"
- - "FIB_20K"
- - "FIB_200K"
- - "FIB_2M"
-
-The sorting is based on tags. If more then one test has the same tag, only the
-first one is taken. The remaining tests and the tests without listed tags are
-placed at the end of the list in random order.
