The graphics update loop is much easier to grok when all the UI
components which potentially need to be updated on a cycle are arranged
together in a high-level composite namespace, thus this new
`DisplayState` addition. Create and set this state on each
`LinkedSplits` chart set and add a new method `.graphics_cycle()` which
let's a caller trigger a graphics loop update manually. Use this method
in the fsp graphics manager such that a chain can update new history
output even if there is no real-time feed driving the display loop (eg.
when a market is "closed").
As part of factoring `._set_yrange()` into the lower level view box,
move the y-range calculations into a new method. These calcs should
eventually be completely separate (as they are for the real-time version
in the graphics display update loop) and likely part of some kind of
graphics-related lower level management API. Draft such an API as an
`ArrayScene` (commented for now) as a sketch toward factoring array
tracking **out of** the chart widget. Drop the `'ohlc'` array name and
instead always use whatever `.name` was assigned to the chart widget
to lookup its "main" / source data array for now.
Enable auto-yranging on overlayed plotitems by enabling on its viewbox
and, for now, assign an ad-hoc `._maxmin()` since the widget version
from this commit has no easy way to know which internal array to use. If
an FSP (`dolla_vlm` in this case) is overlayed on an existing chart
without also having a full widget (which it doesn't in this case since
we're using an overlayed `PlotItem` instead of a full `ChartPlotWidget`)
we need some way to define the `.maxmin()` for the overlayed
data/graphics. This likely means the `.maxmin()` will eventually get
factored into wtv lowlevel `ArrayScene` API mentioned above.
This syncs with a dev branch in our `pyqtgraph` fork:
https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/pull/2162
The main idea is to get mult-yaxis display fully functional with
multiple view boxes running in a "relay mode" where some focussed view
relays signals to overlaid views which may have independent axes. This
preps us for both displaying independent codomain-set FSP output as well
as so called "aggregate" feeds of multiple fins underlyings on the same
chart (eg. options and futures over top of ETFs and underlying stocks).
The eventual desired UX is to support fast switching of instruments for
order mode trading without requiring entirely separate charts as well as
simple real-time anal of associated instruments.
The first effort here is to display vlm and $_vlm alongside each other
as a built-in FSP subchart.
We can instead use the god widget's nursery to schedule all the feed
pause/resume requests and be even more concurrent during a view (of
symbols) switch.
Use `tractor.trionics.gather_contexts()` to start up the fsp and volume
chart-displays (for an additional conc speedup). Drop `dolla_vlm` again for
now until we figure out how we can display it *and* vlm on the same
sub-chart? It would be nice to avoid having to spawn an fsp process
before showing the volume curve.
This fixes a weird re-render bug/slowdown/artifact that was introduced
with the order mode sidepane work. Prior to the sidepane addition, chart
switching was immediate with zero noticeable widget rendering steps.
The slow down was caused by 2 things:
- not yielding back to the Qt loop asap after re-showing/focussing
a linked split chart that was already in memory.
- pausing/resuming feeds only after a Qt loop render cycle has
completed.
This now restores the near zero latency UX.
There was a lingering issue where the fsp daemon would sync its shm
array with the source data and we'd set the start/end indices to the
same value. Under some races a reader would then read an empty `.array`
which it wasn't expecting. This fixes that as well as tidies up the
`ShmArray.push()` logic and adds a temporary check in `.array` for zero
length if the array hasn't been written yet.
We can now start removing read array length checks in consumer code
and hopefully no more races will show up.
Revert to old shm "last" meaning last row
Split up the rather large `.ui._chart` module into its constituents:
- a `.ui._app` for the highlevel widget composition, qtractor entry
point and startup logic
- `.ui._display` for all the real-time graphics update tasks which
consume the `.ui._chart` widget apis
We need a subtask to compute the current pp PnL in real-time but really
only if a pp exists - a spawnable subtask would be ideal for this. Stage
a tick streaming task using a stream bcaster; no actual pnl calc yet.
Since we're going to need subtasks anyway might as well stick the order
mode UI processing loop in a task as well and then just give the whole
thing a ctx mngr api. This'll probably be handy for when we have
auto-strats that need to dynamically use the mode's api as well.
Oh, and move the time -> index mapper to a chart method for now.
Use this method to go through writing all allocator parameters and then
reading all changes back into the order mode pane including updating the
limit and step labels by the fill bar.
Machinery changes:
- add `.limit()` and `.step_sizes()` methods to the allocator to
provide the appropriate data depending on the pp limit size unit (eg.
currency vs. units)
- humanize the label display text such that you have nice suffixes and
a fixed precision
- tweak the fill bar labels to be simpler since the values are now
humanized
- expect `.on_ui_settings_change()` to be called for every slots hotkey
tweak
- make `GodWidget.load_symbol()` async
- track loaded feeds with a private `._feeds` dict
- add methods to pause/resume all feeds when chart is (un)focussed
- add some commented test code for 2nd feed consumer task and rsi2 fsp
- load async signal handler for view clicking
