`ChartPlotWidget.curve_width_pxs()` now can be used to get the total
horizontal (x) pixels on screen that are occupied by the current curve
graphics for a given chart. This will be used for downsampling large
data sets to the pixel domain using M4.
Probably the best place to root the profiler since we can get a better
top down view of bottlenecks in the graphics stack.
More,
- add in draft M4 downsampling code (commented) after getting it mostly
working; next step is to move this processing into an FSP subactor.
- always update the vlm chart last y-axis sticky
- set call `.default_view()` just before inf sleep on startup
Obviously determining the x-range from indices was wrong and was the
reason for the incorrect (downsampled) output size XD. Instead correctly
determine the x range and start value from the *values of* the input
x-array. Pretty sure this makes the implementation nearly production
ready.
Relates to #109
All the refs are in the comments and original sample code from infinite
has been reworked to expect the input x/y arrays to already be sliced
(though we can later support passing in the start-end indexes if
desired).
The new routines are `ds_m4()` the python top level API and `_m4()` the
fast `numba` implementation.
- the chart's uppx (units-per-pixel) is > 4 (i.e. zoomed out a lot)
- don't shift the chart (to keep the most recent step in view) if the
last datum isn't in view (aka the user is probably looking at history)
When a bars graphic is zoomed out enough you get a high uppx, datum
units-per-pixel, and there is no point in drawing the 6-lines in each
bar element-graphic if you can't see them on the screen/display device.
Instead here we offer converting to a `FastAppendCurve` which traces
the high-low outline and instead display that when it's impossible to see the
details of bars - approximately when the uppx >= 2.
There is also some draft-commented code in here for downsampling the
outlines as zoom level increases but it's not fully working and should
likely be factored out into a higher level api anyway.
In effort to start getting some graphics speedups as detailed in #109,
this adds a `FastAppendCurve`to every `BarItems` as a `._ds_line` which
is only displayed (instead of the normal mult-line bars curve) when the
"width" of a bar is indistinguishable on screen from a line -> so once
the view coordinates map to > 2 pixels on the display device.
`BarItems.maybe_paint_line()` takes care of this scaling detection logic and is
called by the associated view's `.sigXRangeChanged` signal handler.
The graphics update loop is much easier to grok when all the UI
components which potentially need to be updated on a cycle are arranged
together in a high-level composite namespace, thus this new
`DisplayState` addition. Create and set this state on each
`LinkedSplits` chart set and add a new method `.graphics_cycle()` which
let's a caller trigger a graphics loop update manually. Use this method
in the fsp graphics manager such that a chain can update new history
output even if there is no real-time feed driving the display loop (eg.
when a market is "closed").
As per https://github.com/erdewit/ib_insync/pull/454 the more correct
way to do this is with `.reqContractDetailsAsync()` which we wrap with
`Client.con_deats()` and which works just as well. Further drop all the
`dict`-ifying that was being done in that method and instead always
return `ContractDetails` object in an fqsn-like explicitly keyed `dict`.
ib has a throttle limit for "hft" bars but contained in here is some
hackery using ``xdotool`` to reset data farms auto-magically B)
This copies the working script into the ib backend mod as a routine and
now uses `trio.run_process()` and calls into it from the `get_bars()`
history retriever and then waits for "data re-established" events to be
received from the client before making more history queries.
TL;DR summary of changes:
- relay ib's "system status" events (like for data farm statuses)
as a new "event" msg that can be processed by registers of
`Client.inline_errors()` (though we should probably make a new
method for this).
- add `MethodProxy.status_event()` which allows a proxy user to register
for a particular "system event" (as mentioned above), which puts
a `trio.Event` entry in a small table can be set by an relay task if
there are any detected waiters.
- start a "msg relay task" when opening the method proxy which does
the event setting mentioned above in the background.
- drop the request error handling around the proxy creation, doesn't
seem necessary any more now that we have better error propagation from
`asyncio`.
- add event waiting logic around the data feed reset hackzorin.
- change the order relay task to only log system events for now (though
we need to do some better parsing/logic to get tws-external order
updates to work again..
