[...] Feature request, could we have a graph for multi state rules that shows the pop/birth/death of each state?
The "population" graphs for each nonzero cellstate separately may be possible, there would be
n-1 "population" graphs for a
n-state CA.
The "birth/death" part no longer suffices with three or more cellstates. Instead of just two graphs "births" and "deaths", there would be up to
n(n-1) graphs for a
n-state CA. There would be a separate graph for every state-changing transition. So for example 6 graphs for a three-state CA (0->1, 0->2, 1->0, 1->2, 2->0, 2->1); 12 graphs for a four-state CA; 20 graphs for a five-state CA; and so on. With >3 cellstates that probably would be impractical to display in an embedded viewer.
Maybe simply disable "births/deaths" for general multistate CA (because in general there is no guarantee that the concepts of births and deaths at all make sense), and instead display only the population graph, but let the user choose which cellstates should contribute to the population?
