> Second, the probe in the probe time series is easily customized via a
> menu. I.e., the color and size can easily be changed. I don't see the
> same capability with the height-time display. The color can be changed
> by changing the selector color, but I don't see how to make the size of
> the probe different. Can this be done ?
> 
> Third, the time labels in the probe/time series are quite long - they take
> a lot of space, which reduces the number of time labels possible. The
> time format looks like the default in user preferences? Could we use
> the same time format used in the height-time display (day/hour)? I think
> this would help the appearance quite a bit.
