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
To make it easier to manually read/decipher long ledger files this adds
`dict` sorting based on record-type-specific (api vs. flex report)
datetime processing prior to ledger file write.
- break up parsers into separate routines for flex and api record
processing.
- add `parse_flex_dt()` for special handling of the weird semicolon
stamps in flex reports.
There never was any underlying db bug, it was a hardcoded timeframe in
the column series write key.. Now we always assert a matching timeframe
in results.
Not only improves startup latency but also avoids a bug where the rt
buffer was being tsdb-history prepended *before* the backfilling of
recent data from the backend was complete resulting in our of order
frames in shm.
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.
If a history manager raises a `DataUnavailable` just assume the sample
rate isn't supported and that no shm prepends will be done. Further seed
the shm array in such cases as before from the 1m history's last datum.
Also, fix tsdb -> shm back-loading, cancelling tsdb queries when either
no array-data is returned or a frame is delivered which has a start time
no lesser then the least last retrieved. Use strict timeframes for every
`Storage` API call.
Turns out querying for a high freq timeframe (like 1sec) will still
return a lower freq timeframe (like 1Min) SMH, and no idea if it's the
server or the client's fault, so we have to explicitly check the sample
step size and discard lower freq series-results. Do this inside
`Storage.read_ohlcv()` and return an empty `dict` when the wrong time
step is detected from the query result.
Further enforcements,
- both `.load()` and `read_ohlcv()` now require an explicit `timeframe:
int` input to guarantee the time step of the output array.
- drop all calls `.load()` with non-timeframe specific input.
Our default sample periods are 60s (1m) for the history chart and 1s for
the fast chart. This patch adds concurrent loading of both (or more)
different sample period data sets using the existing loading code but
with new support for looping through a passed "timeframe" table which
points to each shm instance.
More detailed adjustments include:
- breaking the "basic" and tsdb loading into 2 new funcs:
`basic_backfill()` and `tsdb_backfill()` the latter of which is run
when the tsdb daemon is discovered.
- adjust the fast shm buffer to offset with one day's worth of 1s so
that only up to a day is backfilled as history in the fast chart.
- adjust bus task starting in `manage_history()` to deliver back the
offset indices for both fast and slow shms and set them on the
`Feed` object as `.izero_hist/rt: int` values:
- allows the chart-UI linked view region handlers to use the offsets
in the view-linking-transform math to index-align the history and
fast chart.
Allows keeping mutex state around data reset requests which (if more
then one are sent) can cause a throttling condition where ib's servers
will get slower and slower to conduct a reconnect. With this you can
have multiple ongoing contract requests without hitting that issue and
we can go back to having a nice 3s timeout on the history queries before
activating the hack.
