Plots: Add title and axis titles; scatterplot option for logarithmic axes [FEATURE]

PR Description:

Description

New features and bugfixes for the plotting algorithms (in "Plots") to get more meaningful plots.

Title and axis titles

Add title and axis titles as optional parameters to the processing algorithms:

• Vector layer Scatterplot
• Vector layer Scatterplot3D
• Barplot
• Boxplot
  If axis titles are empty, the name of the field is used as axis title. If a single space is entered, the axis title is not shown (and the plot looks like before the changes).

Logarithmic axes in scatterplot

Optionally, in "Vector layer Scatterplot", allow x-axis and/or y-axis to be logarithmic.

Bugfixes

• Boxplot: "Value field" type must be numeric
• Vectorlayer Scatterplot3D: Output name "Scatterplot 3D" instead of "Histogram"

Screenshots

Vector layer Scatterplot, new version (with logarithmic axes, title, y-axis title; while x-axis title was not given and the field name is used)

Vector layer Scatterplot, old version for comparison

Section Bar Plot

New Parameters (Label | Name | Type | Description):

• Title | TITLE | [string] Default: "" | Title of the plot
• X-axis Title | XAXIS_TITLE | [string] Default: "" | X axis title, if empty, the name of the category field is used. With a single space, the axis title is not shown.
• Y-axis Title | YAXIS_TITLE | [string] Default: "" | Y axis title, if empty, the name of the value field is used. With a single space, the axis title is not shown.

Section Box Plot

New Parameters (Label | Name | Type | Description):

• Title | TITLE | [string] Default: "" | Title of the plot
• X-axis Title | XAXIS_TITLE | [string] Default: "" | X axis title, if empty, the name of the category field is used. With a single space, the axis title is not shown.
• Y-axis Title | YAXIS_TITLE | [string] Default: "" | Y axis title, if empty, the name of the value field is used. With a single space, the axis title is not shown.

Change to Parameter "Value Field": Type is now: [tablefield: numeric]

Section Vector layer scatterplot

New Parameters (Label | Name | Type | Description):

• Title | TITLE | [string] Default: "" | Title of the plot
• X-axis Title | XAXIS_TITLE | [string] Default: "" | X axis title, if empty, the field name of the x attribute is used. With a single space, the axis title is not shown.
• Y-axis Title | YAXIS_TITLE | [string] Default: "" | Y axis title, if empty, the field name of the y attribute is used. With a single space, the axis title is not shown.
• Use logarithmic scale for x-axis | XAXIS_LOG | [boolean] Default: False | Optionally use logarithmic x axis
• Use logarithmic scale for y-axis | YAXIS_LOG | [boolean] Default: False | Optionally use logarithmic y axis

Section Vector layer scatterplot 3D

New Parameters (Label | Name | Type | Description):

• Title | TITLE | [string] Default: "" | Title of the plot
• X-axis Title | XAXIS_TITLE | [string] Default: "" | X axis title, if empty, the field name of the x attribute is used.
• Y-axis Title | YAXIS_TITLE | [string] Default: "" | Y axis title, if empty, the field name of the y attribute is used.
• Z-axis Title | ZAXIS_TITLE | [string] Default: "" | Z axis title, if empty, the field name of the y attribute is used.

Change to Outputs:
Label of "OUTPUT" is now "Scatterplot 3D", not "Histogram"
