Right, such configuration could be useful. However, note that a
selection of which lines (signals?) to show would be tied to the
actual current state of the schematic. Nets changes names, either
because user changes the names of labels, or automatically when things
get reconnected and re-annotated (Net-(R12-Pad2)) etc..

In any case, I think it makes sense to have a base setting of default
trace drawing style, and I think it makes sense if this is separated
into "left scale" (Voltage and Magnitude) and "right scale" (Current
and Phase). You can only view Voltage and Current, or Magnitude and
Phase, in the same plot, not any other combinations.

This file should just contain the plot information, such as lines displayed, their style/color, axis configurations, colors, etc. (and maybe analysis parameters, I haven't thought about that part yet). This would allow us to add the functionality to open/save plot styles (similar to how a Modelsim .do file can be used to save/configure the waveform display, but ours won't be a script).
