Plot Properties Ux improvements

[mantid-builder]

This issue was originally TRAC 8203

Original Reporter: Gesner Passos

What I report here you may reproduce using loading the file below and opening the ColorFillPlot on it.

http://trac.mantidproject.org/mantid/attachment/ticket/7865/19675_sans_2d.nxs

• Select Layer1 -> Tab Geometry -> Change size width to 600 (some axis will desappear). The same occur if you have Keep aspect Ratio on Windows resize.
• When you open the ColorFillPlot the widget of Data opens as well (annoying)
• What is the meaning of '''UserHelperFunction'''?
• Select UserHelperFunction -> Tab Colors -> Change the ColorBarScale to Top: The axis on the right remains. As a side effect, changing the scale of that axis still applies to the image. (Explaining, close the Plot Properties. Open the Axis Dialog, Tab(Scale), change to Logarithm, and the image colors will change, although the color map (on the top) does not change).
• Select UserHelperFunction -> Tab Colors -> Change the ColorBarScale to Bottom. You have lost 'forever' the positions of the horizontal axis. (it is not really true, it just is applied now in the top, but it is by default invisible).
• Select UserHelperFunction : Why do we have a Plot Type with a combobox with only one option?
• Select UserHelperFunction -> Tab Axes: What is expected if you attach curve to xAxis Bottom or Top? It is not clear. (Tool tip?)
• Select UserHelperFunction -> Tab CountourLines. Select ShowContourLines. The 'Set Levels' change things in the image, but it is not correct until you click on Apply.
• Select UserHelperFunction-> Tab CountourLines. What is the purpose of Use Table Custom Pen?
• It is not clear that the labels tab will be enabled only if you show contour lines, and why you cannot add label to this plot as well.

Finally, it could be possible to save the options to be the new default for that user?

Add new requirements:

Double chevron button that hides the tree shouldn't act as if it's being pressed when the tree is visible.

Dialog permanently resizes itself when you click userhelperfunction, switching to other parts of the tree/tabs doesn't make the dialog shrink back

Note: the userhelperfunction is only there when looking at a colorfillplot, but a lot of these bugs will be present when looking at other types of plot

Userhelperfunction can be deleted like a plot of a normal data plot, nothing happens when you do (and it'll come back if the dialog is closed and reopened), it just shouldn't happen.

Plots can be deleted, but there's no actual delete button, the keyboard is required

Bulk move to assigned at the introduction of the triage step

Keith Brown did a lot of work on this and much of this is now obsolete
