Plot confidence area around a linegraph

[fgvieira]

Description of feature

Is it possible to plot confidence areas (e.g. confidence intervals or standard deviations) around a line graph?

Like this example.

No, and I have avoided doing this in the past because it does not scale well. Having a single additional band as suggested in #2218 is fine, but having a confidence area per-sample is bad as the graph will quickly become unreadable when there are more than a few samples.

Closing as a duplicate of #2218

I wonder if we can still do that only if the number of samples is low. It would fit well into the "plot scaling" effort.

E.g. a confidence area can be displayed only if there is only a single sample. Some additional per-sample dots can be displayed only if there are few samples. When scaling further, we will omit some lines and fall back for different representations, like discussed here.

Certain modules are often run on a single sample anyway, so the problem of scaling is not that important there.
