4232	Make sure variables which are practically constant are displayed as such in OMEdit	Francesco Casella	Adeel Asghar	"Try the following test case
{{{
model foo
  Real x(start = 1-1e-7, fixed = true);
equation
  der(x) = 1-x;
end foo;
}}}

Then, plot {{{x}}}. A monotonously increasing curve is displayed, which seems to imply that there is a transient until one looks at the values on the y axis and sees that they are all ones. Quite confusing. In general, this happens when a model is numerically initialized at steady-state, but there is a *very small* transient, which should not be unnecessarily magnified.

My proposal, when visualizing plots, is to make sure that the span of the y axis is bounded from below to

1e-4*max(v_start, v_end, v_nominal)

where v_start is the initial value of v, v_end is the final value, and v_nominal is its nominal attribute). In this way, the result of the above example will show a variable which is indeed constant for all practical purposes. 

It should be still possible to zoom in, if needed, but the default initial view should not magnify a negligible transient."	enhancement	closed	high	1.19.0	OMEdit		fixed		giovanni.mangola@… massimo ceraolo
