Hi Stan,
I know there are a few posts about segments in this wish list, but anyway I would like to post my point of view.
In addition to what is already in today’s segment filter I would like to see a more customizable filter, something I do hope is possible. I know many maybe think this seems to be a crazy idea, but I want to choose how many segments to use at the same time with a min of 1 and a max of at least 25 segments and this should be adjustable from EL Preferences. Each of the segments must also be adjustable with begins at x and ends at x. The reason for this is that I want to use many smaller segment sizes and also many segments that overlap each other more or less.
I have tried this segment filtering for column 0 by using the Latest column in Stats for Ticket Numbers and made statistic in Excel for 52 draws and it works great.
The key to get the filter to work at it best you must have statistic made by using more draws and columns. Therefore I would like to also have this statistic added to EL 5. The statistic must show the occurrence of how many numbers there is drawn in each segment in each column by draw date. It would be very nice if the occurrence also is possible to sort for one segment at a time. I have made my own opinion on how this statistic might look like in the attached file, but this is all up to you.
To get the segment statistic to work as I want I assume column x segment x begins at x and ends at x must be in EL Preferences for all segments in every column and this could also be the basic settings for the filter.
Another feature I would like to see is the opportunity to be able to adjust how many columns EL use by alter it in EL Preferences, instead of adding a line of text to *.properties file as we do today.
You have now got my wishes for EL 5 and all this is meant as a suggestion from my side and not how it should be, but I think it is worth considering.
