Allows for optionally updating a "downsampled" graphics type which is
currently necessary in the `BarItems` -> `FlattenedOHLC` curve switching
case; we don't want to be needlessly redrawing the `Flow.graphics`
object (which will be an OHLC curve) when in flattened curve mode.
Further add a `only_last_uppx: bool` flag to `.draw_last()` to allow
forcing a "last uppx's worth of data max/min" style interpolating line
as needed.
The single-file module was getting way out of hand size-wise with the
new flex report parsing stuff so this starts the process of breaking
things up into smaller modules oriented around trade, data, and ledger
related endpoints.
Add support for backends to declare sub-modules to enable in
a `__enable_modules__: list[str]` module var which is parsed by the
daemon spawning code passed to `tractor`'s `enable_modules: list[str]`
input.
When using m4, we downsample to the max and min of each
pixel-column's-worth of data thus preserving range / dispersion details
whilst not drawing more graphics then can be displayed by the available
amount of horizontal pixels.
Take and apply this exact same concept to the "last datum" graphics
elements for any `Flow` that is reported as being in a downsampled
state:
- take the xy output from the `Curve.draw_last_datum()`,
- slice out all data that fits in the last pixel's worth of x-range
by using the uppx,
- compute the highest and lowest value from that data,
- draw a singe line segment which spans this yrange thus creating
a simple vertical set of pixels which are "filled in" and show the
entire y-range for the most recent data "contained with that pixel".
Instead of using a bunch of internal logic to modify low level paint-able
elements create a `Curve` lineage that allows for graphics "style"
customization via a small set of public methods:
- `Curve.declare_paintables()` to allow setup of state/elements to be
drawn in later methods.
- `.sub_paint()` to allow painting additional elements along with the
defaults.
- `.sub_br()` to customize the `.boundingRect()` dimensions.
- `.draw_last_datum()` which is expected to produce the paintable
elements which will show the last datum in view.
Introduce the new sub-types and load as necessary in
`ChartPlotWidget.draw_curve()`:
- `FlattenedOHLC`
- `StepCurve`
Reimplement all `.draw_last()` routines as a `Curve` method
and call it the same way from `Flow.update_graphics()`
The basic logic is now this:
- when zooming out, uppx (units per pixel in x) can be >= 1
- if the uppx is `n` then the next pixel in view becomes occupied by
a new datum-x-coordinate-value when the diff between the last
datum step (since the last such update) is greater then the
current uppx -> `datums_diff >= n`
- if we're less then some constant uppx we just always update (because
it's not costly enough and we're not downsampling.
More or less this just avoids unnecessary real-time updates to flow
graphics until they would actually be noticeable via the next pixel
column on screen.
This was a bit of a nightmare to figure out but, it seems that the
coordinate caching system will really be a dick (like the nickname for
richard for you serious types) about leaving stale graphics if we don't
reset the cache on downsample full-redraw updates...Sooo, instead we do
this manual reset to avoid such artifacts and consequently (for now)
return a `reset: bool` flag in the return tuple from `Renderer.render()`
to indicate as such.
Some further shite:
- move the step mode `.draw_last()` equivalent graphics updates down
with the rest..
- drop some superfluous `should_redraw` logic from
`Renderer.render()` and compound it in the full path redraw block.
Adds a new pre-graphics data-format callback incremental update api to
our `Renderer`. `Renderer` instance can now overload these custom routines:
- `.update_xy()` a routine which accepts the latest [pre/a]pended data
sliced out from shm and returns it in a format suitable to store in
the optional `.[x/y]_data` arrays.
- `.allocate_xy()` which initially does the work of pre-allocating the
`.[x/y]_data` arrays based on the source shm sizing such that new
data can be filled in (to memory).
- `._xy_[first/last]: int` attrs to track index diffs between src shm
and the xy format data updates.
Implement the step curve data format with 3 super simple routines:
- `.allocate_xy()` -> `._pathops.to_step_format()`
- `.update_xy()` -> `._flows.update_step_xy()`
- `.format_xy()` -> `._flows.step_to_xy()`
Further, adjust `._pathops.gen_ohlc_qpath()` to adhere to the new
call signature.
We're doing this in `Flow.update_graphics()` atm and probably are going
to in general want custom graphics objects for all the diff curve / path
types. The new flows work seems to fix the bounding rect width calcs to
not require the ad-hoc extra `+ 1` in the step mode case; before it was
always a bit hacky anyway. This also tries to add a more correct
bounding rect adjustment for the `._last_line` segment.
