The problem is that it does not fit logically into the idea of units, as it is
not an actual unit, but a display feature. If there would be a standalone
"Smooth" unit, then the user would have to be presented somewhere with an
option to choose the actual units, which would cause redundancy and even more
confusion to the user.
An option would be to add combined units like "Bits/Tick+Smooth". And if the
user would choose one of the combined units then the current dropboxes would be
shown. However, this would double the number of available units.
A second option would be to add a checkbox "Smooth" to the Y Axis box similar
to the "View as time of day" of the X Axis, which would hide/unhide the current
drop-boxes. However, the checkbox would add an extra empty line similarly to
the first version. This line could be filled, for example, with a sixth Graph;
although that is most likely undesirable.
I cannot come up with any other options at the moment, so I am open to
suggestions.
