path redraw. The main motivation for this more modular, composed design is that
lower level graphics data can be rendered in different threads and
then read and drawn in this main thread without having to worry
about dealing with Qt's concurrency primitives. See
``piker.ui._flows.Renderer`` for details and logic related to lower
level path generation and incremental update. The main differences in
the path generation code include:
- avoiding regeneration of the entire historical path where possible and instead
only updating the "new" segment(s) via a ``numpy`` array diff calc.
- here, the "last" graphics datum-segment is drawn independently
such that near-term (high frequency) discrete-time-sampled style
updates don't trigger a full path redraw.
