      Description

      Some annotations may require more than one colour assigned to a single annotation if it covers a range of values.
      e.g. the pLDDT scores line graph annotation.
      Whether this should be a line graph is a different debate, but given the plot of a line goes from one value to another, the line could straddle two (or more) coloured value ranges for the standard pLDDT colouring scheme. Assigning one colour to a line segment (or even two colours for both endpoints) leads to a misleading line graph. See screenshot 1 from the plddt-example.jvp file also attached.
      The caret shaped bit of graph in the middle should have (almost) reflective symmetry in its colouring, but the left side is coloured for the highest point and the right side coloured for the lowest point, which is misleading (i.e. wrong!).
      A bigger jump in line graph from lowest to highest would be coloured all as lowest, and vice versa.

      The line graph colouring should be able to change along a line segment to correctly reflect the values represented.
