[Enhancement] Network graph scale

[oleh-kolinko]

Issue

Current network graphs download and upload graphs have 2 different auto-scales

Current behavior: Looking just at this graph it looks like upload and download speeds are the same:

But if you look at the actual values, the download speed is a lot higher than the upload:

So in my opinion current network graph is misleading because download and upload are shown together but they don't relate to each other

Expected behavior: Here is same scenario in default macOS Activity Monitor, network tab: It also has auto-scale based on peak traffic but you can clearly see that the download speed spike is a lot higher compared to the upload, just by looking at the graph

Suggested solutions

1. Manual settings to configure graph scale (see in related issue: https://github.com/exelban/stats/issues/844)
2. Have 1 peak for download and upload (match auto-scale as in Activity Monitor)
3. Show peak values or scales near the graph

Hi. Thanks for your feedback. I have never had a problem with that, but I understand it. I will think of how it could be solved.

I came here to point out the exact same issue!

For me the best solution would be a fixed scale, that is set to the maximum speeds that the current network connection supports.

This seems to be an option in MenuMeters as shown here: https://github.com/exelban/stats/issues/844#issuecomment-1059786307

"Display Scale to: Interface speed"

I understand this means most traffic will be almost invisible on the graph, but for me this is fine. I am only interested in seeing unexpectedly high usage.

@MasterScrat that issue does not relate to this.

Could the enabling this wind up completely shrinking the smaller value to not really be visible? I think that would be less desirable.
