How about this?  
It works like a traditional x-trace with or without subplots

It simply uses [my glass pane example](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/using-the-paintable-canvas-as-a-glass-pane/103391) to render the custom x-trace information

Here is the library script that is needed for the overlay:
