Allows starting UI apps and passing the `pikerd` registry socket-addr
args via `--host` or `--port` such that a separate actor tree can be
started by selecting an unused port. This is handy when hacking new
features but while also wishing to run a more stable version of the code
for trading on the same host.
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.
Details of the original patch to upstream are in:
https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/pull/2281
Instead of trying to land this we've opted to just copy out that version
of `.debug.Profiler` into our own internals (luckily the class is
entirely self-contained) until such a time when we choose to find
a better dependency as per https://github.com/pikers/piker/issues/337
