Hi all,

This discussion leads to the following proposal for enhancement: what if we
generate a flexible way of presenting graphical analysis of protocol data, a
thing like the filter logic already built into Ethereal? We could easily
save   those analysis displays (as we save e.g., color filters), and when
presenting them give the window the appropriate name.

This way, we could easily add new graphical analysis "filters" without
having to recompile the code. Unless a "plugin" approach is followed
(expression calculation must not be interpreted then).

Any comments?
