Bug Description

I tend to roam between networks with very different characteristics, in one I have latencies of 2ms, in others up to 1 second. The current linear scale of link-monitor-applet is not very useful here. I’d like to see an option for a logarithmic scale, configured by the lower and upper bound, at least for the in-panel display.

For the graphs it is not that bad of a problem, but might be desirable for consistency.

Thanks,
Joachim

I also implemented a logarithmic scale for the line graph:

Here is a demonstration of the patch in action. As you can see, a linear scale would not suit my needs here.
