Turns out we can't seem to avoid the artefacts when click-drag-scrolling
(results in weird repeated "smeared" curve segments) so just go back to
the original code.
Ensures that a "last datum" graphics object exists so that zooming can
read it using `.x_last()`. Also, disable the linked region stuff for now
since it's totally borked after flipping to the time indexing.
Since we don't really need it defined on the "chart widget" move it to
a viz method and rework it to hell:
- always discard the invalid view l > r case.
- use the graphic's UPPX to determine UI-to-scene coordinate scaling for
the L1-label collision detection, if there is no L1 just offset by
a few (index step scaled) datums; this allows us to drop the 2x
x-range calls as was hacked previous.
- handle no-data-in-view cases explicitly and error if we get any
ostensibly impossible cases.
- expect caller to trigger a graphics cycle if needed.
Further support this includes a rework a slew of other important
details:
- add `Viz.index_step`, an idempotent computed, index (presumably uniform)
step value which is needed for variable sample rate graphics displayed
on an epoch (second) time index.
- rework `Viz.datums_range()` to pass view x-endpoints as first and last
elements in return `tuple`; tighten up snap-to-data edge case logic
using `max()`/`min()` calls and better internal var naming.
- adjust all calls to `slice_from_time()` to not expect an "abs" slice.
- drop all `.yrange` resetting since we can just have the `Renderer` do
it when necessary.
If we presume that time indexing using a uniform step we can calculate
the exact index (using `//`) for the input time presuming the data
set has zero gaps. This gives a massive speedup over `numpy` fancy
indexing and (naive) `numba` iteration. Further in the case where time
gaps are detected, we can use `numpy.searchsorted()` to binary search
for the nearest expected index at lower latency.
Deatz,
- comment-disable the call to the naive `numba` scan impl.
- add a optional `step: int` input (calced if not provided).
- add todos for caching binary search results in the gap detection
cases.
- drop returning the "absolute buffer indexing" slice since the caller
can always just use the read-relative slice to acquire it.
When we use an epoch index and any sample rate > 1s we need to scale the
"number of bars" to that step in order to place the view correctly in
x-domain terms. For now we're calcing the step in-method but likely,
longer run, we'll pull this from elsewhere (like a ``Viz`` attr).
Gives approx a 3-4x speedup using plain old iterate-with-for-loop style
though still not really happy with this .5 to 1 ms latency..
Move the core `@njit` part to a `_slice_from_time()` with a pure python
func with orig name around it. Also, drop the output `mask` array since
we can generally just use the slices in the caller to accomplish the
same input array slicing, duh..
We need to subtract the first index in the array segment read, not the
first index value in the time-sliced output, to get the correct offset
into the non-absolute (`ShmArray.array` read) array..
Further we **do** need the `&` between the advance indexing conditions
and this adds profiling to see that it is indeed real slow (like 20ms
ish even when using `np.where()`).
Again, to make epoch indexing a flip-of-switch for testing look up the
`Viz.index_field: str` value when updating labels.
Also, drops the legacy tick-type set tracking which we no longer use
thanks to the new throttler subsys and it's framing msgs.
Planning to put the formatters into a new mod and aggregate all path
gen/op helpers into this module.
Further tweak include:
- moving `path_arrays_from_ohlc()` back to module level
- slice out the last xy datum for `OHLCBarsAsCurveFmtr` 1d formatting
- always copy the new x-value from the source to `.x_nd`
This was a major cause of error (particularly trying to get epoch
indexing working) and really isn't necessary; instead just have
`.diff()` always read from the underlying source array for current
index-step diffing and append/prepend slice construction.
Allows us to,
- drop `._last_read` state management and thus usage.
- better handle startup indexing by setting `.xy_nd_start/stop` to
`None` initially so that the first update can be done in one large
prepend.
- better understand and document the step curve "slice back to previous
level" logic which is now heavily commented B)
- drop all the `slice_to_head` stuff from and instead allow each
formatter to choose it's 1d segmenting.
In an effort to make it easy to override the indexing scheme.
Further, this repairs the `.datums_range()` special case to handle when
the view box is to-the-right-of the data set (i.e. l > datum_start).
As in make the call to `Flume.slice_from_time()` to try and convert any
time index values from the view range to array-indices; all untested
atm.
Also drop some old/unused/moved methods:
- `._set_xlimits()`
- `.bars_range()`
- `.curve_width_pxs()`
and fix some `flow` -> `viz` var naming.
Don't expect values (array + slice) to be returned and applied by
`.incr_update_xy_nd()` and instead presume this will implemented
internally in each (sub)formatter.
Attempt to simplify some incr-update routines, (particularly in the step
curve formatter, though most of it was reverted to just a simpler form
of the original implementation XD) including:
- dropping the need for the `slice_to_head: int` control.
- using the `xy_nd_start/stop` index counters over custom lookups.
