24.4 Analysis.

(does not apply for 2d networks, or if ``scrolling`` was set in #17.7)

1d space-time patterns may be analysed in two ways: by pattern density (the density of 1s at each time-step), or (for homogeneous neighbourhoods only) by the look-up frequency (and the entropy of the look-up frequency). These measures are displayed as a graph alongside the space-time pattern. The lookup frequency is simultaneously displayed as a histogram, and may be expanded into a 3d graph with an extra ``time'' axis.

In general, the following prompt is presented,

analysis: none-0, pattern density-1,

lookup frequency/entropy: graph-3, histogram (default):

For a network with mixed neighbourhoods, the following prompt is presented,

MIXED NHOODS

analysis: none-0, pattern density (default),

For no analysis enter ``0``.
