Spread Curves: Display the Curve like in CE

Feature Request: Spread Curve Visualization Graph (CE-style)

Summary:
Provide a visual graph of the spread curve within BOE Pro, similar to the existing display in CE. The visualization should clearly illustrate curve sections and transitions so that BOE authors can quickly interpret and validate both standard and custom spread curves.

Problem Statement:
Today, BOE authors do not have an in-tool visual representation of the spread curve. They must infer curve behavior from tabular or numeric inputs, which makes it difficult to understand how values are distributed across the curve—especially for custom configurations. This lack of visualization increases the risk of misinterpretation, slows down authoring and review, and makes it harder to explain curve logic to stakeholders.

Proposed Solution:
Introduce a spread curve graph component in BOE Pro that mirrors the CE-style visualization.
Display the curve as a line or area chart with clear axes (e.g., time/position on the x-axis and value/percentage on the y-axis).
Visually distinguish different curve sections (e.g., segments, steps, or phases) with markers, shading, or color changes.
Support both standard and custom curves, updating the graph dynamically as the user edits curve parameters.
Provide tooltips or labels showing exact values at key points (e.g., breakpoints, peaks, inflection points).
Allow users to zoom or adjust the view where necessary for highly detailed or long-duration curves.

Benefits:
Improves comprehension of spread curve behavior at a glance, reducing the need for manual interpretation.
Reduces errors in BOE authoring by making unintended curve shapes or anomalies immediately visible.
Speeds up configuration and validation of custom curves.
Enhances communication with reviewers and stakeholders by providing an intuitive, visual representation of the curve.
Aligns the BOE Pro experience with CE, creating a more consistent workflow across tools.
