Excellent. We are thrilled to have a tech diver join the developer team. Your description of your approach to extending Subsurface very much mirrors our desire as well. Thank you for spelling it out in detail. As a side note, we used to have a tech diver named Jan on this team, so you will find occasional references to "Jan" here or there - sadly in two weeks will be the first anniversary of his final dive in the Bodensee :-( > Attached, a first patch, called "[PATCH] Bugfix: generalize pp graphs to > allow for multi over-threshold periods". > > Especially in O2 decompression parts of a dive, the pp02 is typically > very close to the threshold value (normally 1.60 bar).

Thanks for a great explanation and visualization of the issue. And a solid first patch that solves the problem. You are making the work of the maintainer very easy - no complaints at all. In cases like this one thing that would be nice is a sample dive that shows the issue (and renders correctly with the fix). It may be overkill to include the complete dive that you used for the visualization, but it should be very easy to use our Add Dive feature to create a dive that shows the same pattern. Would you be interested in submitting this as dives/test32.xml ? Anyway, your patch has been added to master and pushed.
