Description

This would draw datapoints from right to left, starting at the right end of the Plot. This would be useful for drawing continuously growing data sources that we basically need to show a tail -f of in Plot form.

Research direction
Examine the Plot drawing code in the termui repository, particularly the Draw method. The issue requests a new option to draw datapoints from right to left. Check for any existing discussion in the issue comments. Implement a new draw direction option that reverses the iteration order of the data points. Ensure that the axis labels and scaling remain correct.
