Description

This PR introduces two improvements in CroPlotR related to dynamic plots:

  1. Systematic support for the “successive situations” case across all dynamic plotting functions.
  2. Automatic formatting of long plot titles into multiple lines when a defined length threshold is exceeded.

Changes

  • Extended the handling of the successive situations workflow to all dynamic plot types (previously only implemented for the base case).
  • Ensured consistent behaviour across the plotting API when multiple situations are provided in sequence.
  • Added automatic title wrapping:
    • Detects when a title exceeds a given character length threshold.
    • Splits the title into multiple lines for improved readability.
    • Applied specifically to plots generated under the successive situations workflow.
  • Improved robustness of automatic plot rendering in cases with long, concatenated titles.

Motivation

  • The previous implementation only partially supported successive situations, leading to inconsistent behaviour across plot types.
  • Long automatically generated titles could become unreadable or overlap with plot elements, reducing clarity in dynamic visual outputs.

94b4c99 
…automatic multiline title wrapping

Propagate the 'successive' argument through the plotting dispatcher and specific plot functions to support contiguous/successive situations.

Implement add_vertical_lines(df_data, successive, p) to draw vertical separators and make_multiline_title(title, max_char) to split long titles across lines for "successive situations"

Update many plot_dynamic_* function signatures to accept 'successive', call add_vertical_lines, and use the multiline title helper.
