Drop all attempts at rewiring `ViewBox` signals, monkey-patching
relayee handlers, and generally modifying event source public
attributes. Instead take a much simpler approach where the event source
graphics object simply has it's handler dynamically overridden by
a broadcaster function which relays to all consumers using a Python
loop.
The benefits of this much simplified approach include:
- avoiding the tedious and often complex (re)connection of signals between
the source plot and the overlayed consumers.
- requiring zero modification of the public interface of any of the
publisher or consumer `ViewBox`s, no decoration, extra signal
definitions (eg. previous `mouseDragEventRelay` or the like).
- only a single dynamic method override on the event source graphics object
(`ViewBox`) which does the broadcasting work and requires no
modification to handler implementations.
Detailed `.ui._overlay` changes:
- drop `mk_relay_signal()`, `enable_relays()` which removes signal/slot
hacking methodology.
- drop unused `ComposedGridLayout.grid` and `.reverse`, change some
method names: `.insert()` -> `.insert_plotitem()`, `append()` ->
`.append_plotitem()`.
- in `PlotOverlay`, again drop all signal/slot rewiring in
`.add_plotitem()` and instead add our new closure based python-loop in
`broadcast()` routine which is used to override the event-source
object's handler.
- comment out all the auxiliary/want-to-have event source selection
methods for now.
Mainly this involves instantiating our overriden `PlotItem` in a few
places and tweaking type annots. A further detail is that inside
the fsp sub-chart creation code we hide some axes for overlays in the
flows subchart; these were previously somehow hidden implicitly?
Fork out our patch set submitted to upstream in multiple PRs (since they
aren't moving and/or aren't a priority to core) which can be seen in
full from the following diff:
https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/compare/master...pikers:pyqtgraph:graphics_pin
Move these type extensions into the internal `.ui._pg_overrides` module.
The changes are related to both `pyqtgraph.PlotItem` and `.AxisItem` and
were driven for our need for multi-view overlays (overlaid charts with
optionally synced axis and interaction controls) as documented in the PR
to upstream: https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/pull/2162
More specifically,
- wrt to `AxisItem` we added lru caching of tick values as per:
https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/pull/2160.
- wrt to `PlotItem` we adjusted some of the axis management code, namely
adding a standalone `.removeAxis()` and modifying the `.setAxisItems()` logic
to use it in: https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/pull/2162
as well as some tweaks to `.updateGrid()` to loop through all possible
axes when grid setting.
Factor the multi-sample-rate region UI connecting into a new helper
`link_views_with_region()` which reads in the shm buffer offsets from
the `Feed` and appropriately connects the fast and slow chart handlers
for the linear region graphics. Add detailed comments writeup for the
inter-sampling transform algebra.
When the client is faster then a `brokerd` at submitting and cancelling
an order we run into the case where we need to specify that the EMS
cancels the order-flow as soon as the brokerd's ack arrives. Previously
we were stashing a `BrokerdCancel` msg as the `Status.req` msg (to be
both tested for as a "already cancelled" and sent immediately on ack arrival to
the broker), but for such
cases we can't use that msg to find the fqsn (since only the client side
msgs have it defined) which is required by the new
`Router.client_broadcast()`.
So, Since `Status.req` is supposed to be a client-side flow msg anyway,
and we need the fqsn for client broadcasting, we change this `.req`
value to the client's submitted `Cancel` msg (thus rectifying the
missing `Router.client_broadcast()` fqsn input issue) and build the
`BrokerdCancel` request from that `Cancel` inline in the relay loop
from the `.req: Cancel` status msg lookup.
Further we allow `Cancel` msgs to define an `.account` and adjust the
order mode loop to expect `Cancel` source requests in cancelled status
updates.
We haven't been using it for a while and the supposed (remembered)
latency issue on interaction doesn't seem existing after applying the
cache mode. This allows dropping some internal state-logic and generally
simplifying the show-on-hover checks.
Further add `.show_markers()` and `.hide_markers()` as explicit methods
that can be called externally by UI business logic.
Bit of a face palm but obviously `LevelLine.delete()` also removes any
`._marker` from the view which makes it disappear permanently when
moving from non-zero to zero to non-zero positions.. We don't really
need to delete the line since it can be re-used so just remove that
code.
Further this patch removes marker style setting logic from within the
`pp_line()` factory and instead expects the caller to set the correct
"direction" (for long / short) afterward.
- Every time a symbol is switched on chart we need to wait until the
search bar sidepane has been added beside the slow chart before
determining the offset for the pp line's arrow/labels; trigger this in
`GodWidget.load_symbol()` -> required monkeypatching on a
`.mode: OrderMode` to the `.rt_linked` for now..
- Drop the search pane widget removal from the current linked chart,
seems faster?
- On the slow chart override the `LevelMarker.scene_x()` callback to
adjust for the case where no L1 labels are shown beside the y-axis.
