When we use an epoch index and any sample rate > 1s we need to scale the
"number of bars" to that step in order to place the view correctly in
x-domain terms. For now we're calcing the step in-method but likely,
longer run, we'll pull this from elsewhere (like a ``Viz`` attr).
Gives approx a 3-4x speedup using plain old iterate-with-for-loop style
though still not really happy with this .5 to 1 ms latency..
Move the core `@njit` part to a `_slice_from_time()` with a pure python
func with orig name around it. Also, drop the output `mask` array since
we can generally just use the slices in the caller to accomplish the
same input array slicing, duh..
We need to subtract the first index in the array segment read, not the
first index value in the time-sliced output, to get the correct offset
into the non-absolute (`ShmArray.array` read) array..
Further we **do** need the `&` between the advance indexing conditions
and this adds profiling to see that it is indeed real slow (like 20ms
ish even when using `np.where()`).
Again, to make epoch indexing a flip-of-switch for testing look up the
`Viz.index_field: str` value when updating labels.
Also, drops the legacy tick-type set tracking which we no longer use
thanks to the new throttler subsys and it's framing msgs.
Planning to put the formatters into a new mod and aggregate all path
gen/op helpers into this module.
Further tweak include:
- moving `path_arrays_from_ohlc()` back to module level
- slice out the last xy datum for `OHLCBarsAsCurveFmtr` 1d formatting
- always copy the new x-value from the source to `.x_nd`
This was a major cause of error (particularly trying to get epoch
indexing working) and really isn't necessary; instead just have
`.diff()` always read from the underlying source array for current
index-step diffing and append/prepend slice construction.
Allows us to,
- drop `._last_read` state management and thus usage.
- better handle startup indexing by setting `.xy_nd_start/stop` to
`None` initially so that the first update can be done in one large
prepend.
- better understand and document the step curve "slice back to previous
level" logic which is now heavily commented B)
- drop all the `slice_to_head` stuff from and instead allow each
formatter to choose it's 1d segmenting.
In an effort to make it easy to override the indexing scheme.
Further, this repairs the `.datums_range()` special case to handle when
the view box is to-the-right-of the data set (i.e. l > datum_start).
As in make the call to `Flume.slice_from_time()` to try and convert any
time index values from the view range to array-indices; all untested
atm.
Also drop some old/unused/moved methods:
- `._set_xlimits()`
- `.bars_range()`
- `.curve_width_pxs()`
and fix some `flow` -> `viz` var naming.
Don't expect values (array + slice) to be returned and applied by
`.incr_update_xy_nd()` and instead presume this will implemented
internally in each (sub)formatter.
Attempt to simplify some incr-update routines, (particularly in the step
curve formatter, though most of it was reverted to just a simpler form
of the original implementation XD) including:
- dropping the need for the `slice_to_head: int` control.
- using the `xy_nd_start/stop` index counters over custom lookups.
Remove harcoded `'index'` field refs from all formatters in a first
attempt at moving towards epoch-time alignment (though don't actually
use it it yet).
Adjustments to the formatter interface:
- property for `.xy_nd` the x/y nd arrays.
- property for and `.xy_slice` the nd format array(s) start->stop index
slice.
Internal routine tweaks:
- drop `read_src_from_key` and always pass full source array on updates
and adjust handlers to expect to have to index the data field of
interest.
- set `.last_read` right after update calls instead of after 1d
conversion.
- drop `slice_to_head` array read slicing.
- add some debug points for testing 'time' indexing (though not used
here yet).
- add `.x_nd` array update logic for when the `.index_field` is not
'index' - i.e. when we begin to try and support epoch time.
- simplify some new y_nd updates to not require use of `np.broadcast()`
where possible.
Probably means it doesn't need to be a `Flume` method but it's
convenient to expect the caller to pass in the `np.ndarray` with
a `'time'` field instead of a `timeframe: str` arg; also, return the
slice mask instead of the sliced array as output (again allowing the
caller to do any slicing). Also, handle the slice-outside-time-range
case by just returning the entire index range with a `None` mask.
Adjust `Viz.view_data()` to instead do timeframe (for rt vs. hist shm
array) lookup and equiv array slicing with the returned mask.
Since these modules no longer contain Qt specific code we might
as well include them in the data sub-package.
Also, add `IncrementalFormatter.index_field` as single point to def the
indexing field that should be used for all x-domain graphics-data
rendering.
Since higher level charting and fsp management need access to the
new `Flume` indexing apis this adjusts some func sigs to pass through
(and/or create) flume instances:
- `LinkedSplits.add_plot()` and dependents.
- `ChartPlotWidget.draw_curve()` and deps, and it now returns a `Flow`.
- `.ui._fsp.open_fsp_admin()` and `FspAdmin.open_fsp_ui()` related
methods => now we wrap the destination fsp shm in a flume on the admin
side and is returned from `.start_engine_method()`.
Drop a bunch of (unused) chart widget methods including some already
moved to flume methods: `.get_index()`, `.in_view()`,
`.last_bar_in_view()`, `.is_valid_index()`.
Move to expect and process new by-tick-event frames where the display
loop can now just iterate the most recent tick events by type instead of
the entire tick history sequence - thus we reduce iterations inside the
update loop.
Also, go back to use using the detected display's refresh rate (minus 6)
as the default feed requested throttle rate since we can now handle
much more bursty-ness in display updates thanks to the new framing
format B)
