About a meaningful limitation of authors individually listed in the charts:

Except when using extremely high resolutions, the legend is not displayed  
for more than 40 authors anyway. For normal resolutions the limit is  
reached at about 25-30 authors. Also, above 40 authors the colouring  
becomes nearly indistinguishable. For all practical purposes, showing more  
than 40 authors is IMHO useless.

Suggestion: independent of the threshold setting, we can impose an author  
limit of about 40 authors and even if more are above the threshold, they  
will be shown as others. This will solve the UI resource problem and keep  
the charts readible.

Alternatively the slider at the bottom could be modified to indicate the  
numbers of authors to be shown individually, ranging from 1 to 40 with the  
default on 20 or so.

What do you say?
