Some Minor eplot Tweaks for CSV Files

I finally took a peek at my outstanding issues for eplot on Microsoft Github again, and somebody asked the very reasonable question: Why can’t eplot just do the right thing, as if by magic, with files like this:

Why not indeed? So I’ve tinkered a bit, and things should work pretty automatically now. That is, load of a CSV file like that, M-x eplot-mode and then C-c C-c, and viola (enclicken to play video (don’t worry, no audio)):

The idea being that eplot should have sensible defaults, but then you can tinker with the look by hitting l to create controls, then just edit away until you have to look you’re looking for (apparently I went for a “bright goth” thing above), and then export the results.

So there you go. Hopefully I didn’t break anything much…
