When the minor has the same scaling as the major in a given direction we
should still do back-scaling against the major-target and previous
minors to avoid strange edge cases where only the target-major might not
be shifted correctly to show an matched intersect point? More or less
this just meant making the y-mxmn checks interval-inclusive with
`>=`/`<=` operators.
Also adds a shite ton of detailed comments throughout the pin-to-target
method blocks and moves the final major y-range call outside the final
`scaled: dict` loop.
For the "pin to target major/target curve" overlay method, this finally
solves the longstanding issue of ensuring that any new minor curve,
which requires and increase in the major/target curve y-range, also
re-scales all previously scaled minor curves retroactively. Thus we now
guarantee that all minor curves are correctly "pinned" to their
target/major on their earliest available datum **and** are all kept in
view.
Yah yah, i know it's the same as before (the N > 2 curves case with
out-of-range-minor rescaling the previously scaled curves isn't fixed
yet...) but, this is a much better and optional implementation in less
code. Further we're now better leveraging various new cached properties
and methods on `Viz`.
We now handle different `overlay_technique: str` options using `match:`
syntax in the 2ndary scaling loop, stash the returns scalars per curve
in `overlay_table`, and store and iterate the curves by dispersion
measure sort order.
Further wrt "pin-to-target-curve" mode, which currently still pins to
the largest measured dispersion curve in the overlay set:
- pop major Ci overlay table entries at start for sub-calcs usage when
handling the "minor requires major rescale after pin" case.
- (finally) correctly rescale the major curve y-mxmn to whatever the
latest minor overlay curve by calcing the inverse transform from the
minor *at that point*:
- the intersect point being that which the minor has starts support on
the major's x-domain* using the new `Viz.scalars_from_index()` and,
- checking that the minor is not out of range (versus what the major's
transform calcs it to be, in which case,
- calc the inverse transform from the current out-of-range minor and
use it to project the new y-mxmn for the major/target based on the
same intersect-reference point in the x-domain used by the minor.
- always handle the target-major Ci specially by only setting the
`mx_ymn` / `mx_ymn` value when iterating that entry in the overlay
table.
- add todos around also doing the last sub-sub bullet for all previously
major-transform scaled minor overlays (this is coming next..i hope).
- add a final 3rd overlay loop which goes through a final `scaled: dict`
to apply all range values to each view; this is where we will
eventually solve that last edge case of an out-of-range minor's
scaling needing to be used to rescale already scaled minors XD
In an effort to make overlay calcs cleaner and leverage caching of view
range -> dispersion measures, this adds the following new methods:
- `._dispersion()` an lru cached returns scalar calculator given input
y-range and y-ref values.
- `.disp_from_range()` which calls the above method and returns variable
output depending on requested calc `method: str`.
- `.i_from_t()` a currently unused cached method for slicing the
in-view's array index from time stamp (though not working yet due to
needing to parameterize the cache by the input `.vs.xrange`).
Further refinements/adjustments:
- rename `.view_state: ViewState` -> `.vs`.
- drop the `.bars_range()` method as it's no longer used anywhere else
in the code base.
- always set the `ViewState.in_view: np.ndarray` inside `.read()`.
- return the start array index (from slice) and `yref` value @ `xref`
from `.scalars_from_index()` to aid with "pin to curve" rescaling
caused by out-of-range pinned-minor curves.
Not sure why this was ever allowed but, for slicing to the sample
*before* whatever target time stamp is passed in we should definitely
not return the prior index as for the slice start since that might
include a very large gap prior to whatever sample is scanned to have
the earliest matching time stamp.
This was essential to fixing overlay intersect points searching in our
``ui.view_mode`` machinery..
Adds a small struct which is used to track the most recently viewed
data's x/y ranges as well as the last `Viz.read()` "in view" array data
for fast access by chart related graphics processing code, namely view
mode overlay handling.
Also adds new `Viz` interfaces:
- `Viz.ds_yrange: tuple[float, float]' which replaces the previous
`.yrange` (now set by `.datums_range()` on manual y-range calcs) so
that the m4 downsampler can set this field specifically and then it
get used (when available) by `Viz.maxmin()`.
- `Viz.scalars_from_index()` a new returns-scalar generator which can be
used to calc the up and down returns values (used for scaling overlay
y-ranges) from an input `xref` x-domain index which maps to some
`Ci(xref) = yref`.
It was getting waayy to long to be jammed in a method XD
This moves all the chart-viz iteration and transform logic into a new
`piker.ui.view_mode.overlay_viewlists()` core routine which will make it
a lot nicer for,
- AOT compilation via `numba` / `cython` / `mypyc`.
- decoupling from the `pyqtgraph.ViewBox` APIs if we ever decide to get
crazy and go without another graphics engine.
- keeping your head clear when trying to rework the code B)
As part of solving a final bullet-issue in #455, which is specifically
a case:
- with N > 2 curves, one of which is the "major" dispersion curve" and
the others are "minors",
- we can run into a scenario where some minor curve which gets pinned to
the major (due to the original "pinning technique" -> "align to
major") at some `P(t)` which is *not* the major's minimum / maximum
due to the minor having a smaller/shorter support and thus,
- requires that in order to show then max/min on the minor curve we have
to expand the range of the major curve as well but,
- that also means any previously scaled (to the major) minor curves need
to be adjusted as well or they'll not be pinned to the major the same
way!
I originally was trying to avoid doing the recursive iteration back
through all previously scaled minor curves and instead decided to try
implementing the "per side" curve dispersion detection (as was
originally attempted when first starting this work). The idea is to
decide which curve's up or down "swing in % returns" would determine the
global y-range *on that side*. Turns out I stumbled on the "align to
first" technique in the process: "for each overlay curve we align its
earliest sample (in time) to the same level of the earliest such sample
for whatever is deemed the major (directionally disperse) curve in
view".
I decided (with help) that this "pin to first" approach/style is equally
as useful and maybe often more so when wanting to view support-disjoint
time series:
- instead of compressing the y-range on "longer series which have lesser
sigma" to make whatever "shorter but larger-sigma series" pin to it at
an intersect time step, this instead will expand the price ranges
based on the earliest time step in each series.
- the output global-returns-overlay-range for any N-set of series is equal to
the same in the previous "pin to intersect time" technique.
- the only time this technique seems less useful is for overlaying
market feeds which have the same destination asset but different
source assets (eg. btceur and btcusd on the same chart since if one
of the series is shorter it will always be aligned to the earliest
datum on the longer instead of more naturally to the intersect sample
level as was in the previous approach).
As such I'm going to keep this technique as discovered and will later
add back optional support for the "align to intersect" approach from
previous (which will again require detecting the highest dispersion
curve direction-agnostic) and pin all minors to the price level at which
they start on the major.
Further details of the implementation rework in
`.interact_graphics_cycle()` include:
- add `intersect_from_longer()` to detect and deliver a common datum
from 2 series which are different in length: the first time-index
sample in the longer.
- Rewrite the drafted `OverlayT` to only compute (inversed log-returns)
transforms for a single direction and use 2 instances, one for each
direction inside the `Viz`-overlay iteration loop.
- do all dispersion-per-side major curve detection in the first pass of
all `Viz`s on a plot, instead updating the `OverlayT` instances for
each side and compensating for any length mismatch and
rescale-to-minor cases in each loop cycle.
Previously we were aligning the child's `PlotItem` to the "root" (top
most) overlays `ViewBox`..smh. This is why there was a weird gap on the
LHS next to the 'left' price axes: something weird in the implied axes
offsets was getting jammed in that rect.
Also comments out "the-skipping-of" moving axes from the overlay's
`PlotItem.layout` to the root's linear layout(s) when an overlay's axis
is read as not visible; this isn't really necessary nor useful and if we
want to remove the axes entirely we should do it explicitly and/or
provide a way through the `ComposeGridLayout` API.
Despite there being artifacts when interacting, the speedups when
cross-hair-ing are just too good to ignore. We can always play with
disabling caches when interaction takes place much like we do with feed
pausing.
When zoomed in alot, and thus a quote driven y-range resize takes place,
it makes more sense to increase the `range_margin: float` input to
`._set_yrange()` to ensure all L1 labels stay in view; generally the
more zoomed in,
- the smaller the y-range is and thus the larger the needed margin (on
that range's dispersion diff) would be,
- it's more likely to get a last datum move outside the previous range.
Also, always do overlayT style scaling on the slow chart whenever it
treads.
Since it can be desirable to dynamically adjust inputs to the y-ranging
method (such as in the display loop when a chart is very zoomed in), this
adds such support through a new `yrange_kwargs: dict[Viz, dict]` which
replaces the `yrange` tuple we were passing through prior. Also, adjusts
the y-range margin back to the original 0.09 of the diff now that we can
support dynamic control.
If there is a common `PlotItem` used for a set of `Viz`/curves (on
a given view) we don't need to do overlay scaling and thus can also
short circuit the viz iteration loop early.
Somewhat of a facepalm but, for incremental update of the auto-yrange
from quotes in the display loop obviously we only want to update the
associated `Viz`/viewbox for *that* fqsn. Further we don't need to worry
about the whole "tick margin" stuff since `._set_yrange()` already adds
margin to the yrange by default; thus we remove all of that.
When the caller passes `do_overlay_scaling=False` we skip the given
chart's `Viz` iteration loop, and set the yrange immediately, then
continue to the next chart (if `do_linked_charts` is set) instead of
a `continue` short circuit within the viz sub-loop.
Deats:
- add a `_maybe_calc_yrange()` helper which makes the `yranges`
provided-or-not case logic more terse (factored).
- add a `do_linked_charts=False` short circuit.
- drop the legacy commented swing % calcs stuff.
- use the `ChartView._viz` when `do_overlay_scaling=False` thus
presuming that we want to handle the viz mapped to *this* view box.
- add a `._yrange` "last set yrange" tracking var which keeps record of
the last ymn/ymx value set in `._set_yrange()` BEFORE doing range
margins; this will be used for incremental update in the display loop.
Since each symbol's feed is multiplexed by quote key (an fqsn), we can
avoid scaling overlay curves on any single update, presuming each quote
driven cycle will trigger **only** the specific symbol's curve.
Also disables fsp `.interact_graphics_cycle()` calls for now since it
seems they aren't really that critical to and we should be using the
same technique as above (doing incremental y-range checks/updates) for
FSPs as well.
The reason (fsp) subcharts were not linked-updating correctly was
because of the early termination of the interact update loop when only
one "overlay" (aka no other overlays then the main curve) is detected.
Obviously in this case we still need to iterate all linked charts in the
set (presuming the user doesn't disable this).
Also tweaks a few internals:
- rename `start_datums: dict` -> `overlay_table`.
- compact all "single curve" checks to one logic block.
- don't collect curve info into the `overlay_table: dict` when
`do_overlay_scaling=True`.
Such that we still y-range auto-sort inside
`ChartView.interact_graphics_cycle()` still runs on the unit vlm axis
and we always size such that the y-label stays in view.
Since we pretty much always want the 'bottom' and any side that is not
declared by the caller move the axis hides into this method. Lets us
drop the same calls in `.ui._fsp` and `._display`.
This also disables the auto-ranging back-linking for now since it
doesn't seem to be working quite yet?
In situations where clients are (dynamically) subscribing *while*
broadcasts are starting to taking place we need to handle the
`set`-modified-during-iteration case. This scenario seems to be more
common during races on concurrent startup of multiple symbols. The
solution here is to use another set to take note of subscribers which
are successfully sent-to and then skipping them on re-try.
This also contains an attempt to exception-handle throttled stream
overruns caused by higher frequency feeds (like binance) pushing more
quotes then can be handled during (UI) client startup.
This was a subtle logic error when building the `plots: dict` we weren't
adding the "main (ohlc or other source) chart" from the `LinkedSplits`
set when interacting with some sub-chart from `.subplots`..
Further this tries out bypassing `numpy.median()` altogether by just
using `median = (ymx - ymn) / 2` which should be nearly the same?
