Make plot labels easier to read

[clmould]

Most labels on the 'System Power Over Time' and 'Current Profiles Over Time' plots are overlapping/very close together. These should be fixed so they are more readable - the ramp up, burn and fusion ramp should be more spread out, and the directly overlapping labels in the system power graph should be fixed

I don't think the plots are correct. The PF coil currents are shown as straight lines even though the vertical axis is (piecewise) logarithmic. The PF coil currents should vary linearly with time, not exponentially. The power plot also has the same problem.

The current profile and power plots are on symlog scale and are changing linearly when taken off of log scale:

The two plots are not consistent.
At 4000 s, the CS current in the log plot is about +5 A.
At 4000 s, the CS current in the linear plot is about -5e7 A.
I think you have just joined the points with straight lines.

This is the current output data array for large_tokamak ath each point:

[-0.0, 163525734.86762455, 39326307.22783992, 39326307.22783992, -163525734.86762455, -0.0]

The line fit from the start of the burn and ramp down is done completely by Matplotlib

That's what I said. You have just drawn straight lines between the points. This is not correct.

[chris-ashe]

Do we need to add more timing points during the course of the burn?

[mkovari]

Only if you want to use a log scale! If you use a linear scale for the current plot it's fine since the current traces are actually more or less linear. I'm not sure about if the power traces are linear, though.
