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)
Factor out the chart widget creation since it's only executed once
during rendering of the first feed/flow whilst keeping plotitem overlay
creation inside the (flume oriented) init loop. Only create one vlm and
FSP chart/chain for now until we figure out if we want FSPs overlayed by
default or selected based on the "front" symbol in use. Add a default
color-palette set using shades of gray when plotting overlays. Presume
that the display loop's quote throttle rate should be uniformly
distributed over all input symbol-feeds for now. Restore feed pausing on
mouse interaction.
Initial support for real-time multi-symbol overlay charts using an
aggregate feed delivered by `Feed.open_multi_stream()`.
The setup steps for constructing the overlayed plot items is still very
very rough and will likely provide incentive for better refactoring high
level "charting APIs". For each fqsn passed into `display_symbol_data()`
we now synchronously,
- create a single call to `LinkedSplits.plot_ohlc_main() -> `ChartPlotWidget`
where we cache the chart in scope and for all other "sibling" fqsns
we,
- make a call to `ChartPlotWidget.overlay_plotitem()` -> `PlotItem`, hide its axes,
make another call with this plotitem input to
`ChartPlotWidget.draw_curve()`, set a sym-specific view box auto-yrange maxmin callback,
register the plotitem in a global `pis: dict[str, list[pgo.PlotItem, pgo.PlotItem]] = {}`
Once all plots have been created we then asynchronously for each symbol,
- maybe create a volume chart and register it in a similar task-global
table: `vlms: dict[str, ChartPlotWidget] = {}`
- start fsp displays for each symbol
Then common entrypoints are entered once for all symbols:
- a single `graphics_update_loop()` loop-task is started wherein
real-time graphics update components for each symbol are created,
* `L1Labels`
* y-axis last clearing price stickies
* `maxmin()` auto-ranger
* `DisplayState` (stored in a table `dss: dict[str, DisplayState] = {}`)
* an `increment_history_view()` task
and a single call to `Feed.open_multi_stream()` is used to create
a symbol-multiplexed quote stream which drives a single loop over all
symbols wherein for each quote the appropriate components are looked
up and passed to `graphics_update_cycle()`.
- a single call to `open_order_mode()` is made with the first symbol
provided as input, though eventually we want to support passing in the
entire list.
Further internal implementation details:
- special tweaks to the `pg.LinearRegionItem` setup wherein the region
is added with a zero opacity and *after* all plotitem overlays to
avoid and issue where overlays weren't being shown within the region
area in the history chart.
- all symbol-specific graphics oriented update calls are adjusted to
pass in the fqsn:
* `update_fsp_chart()`
* `ChartView._set_yrange()`
* ChartPlotWidget.update_graphics_from_flow()`
- avoid a double increment on sample step updates by not calling the
increment on any vlm chart since it seems the vlm-ohlc chart linking
already takes care of this now?
- use global counters for the last epoch time step to avoid incrementing
all views more then once per new time step given underlying shm array
buffers may be on different array-index values from one another.
Main "public" API change is to make `GodWidget.get/set_chart_symbol()`
accept and cache-on fqsn tuples to allow handling overlayed chart groups
and adjust method names to be plural to match.
Wrt `LinkedSplits`,
- create all chart widget axes with a `None` plotitem argument and set
the `.pi` field after axis creation (since apparently we have another
object reference causality dilemma..)
- set a monkeyed `PlotItem.chart_widget` for use in axes that still need
the widget reference.
- drop feed pause/resume for now since it's leaking feed tasks on the
`brokerd` side and we probably don't really need it any more, and if
we still do it should be done on the feed not the flume.
Wrt `ChartPlotItem`,
- drop `._add_sticky()` and use the `Axis` method instead and add some
overlay + axis sanity checks.
- refactor `.draw_ohlc()` to be a lighter wrapper around a call to
`.add_plot()`.
We have this method on our `ChartPlotWidget` but it makes more sense to
directly associate axis-labels with, well, the label's parent axis XD.
We add `._stickies: dict[str, YAxisLabel]` to replace
`ChartPlotWidget._ysticks` and pass in the `pg.PlotItem` to each axis
instance, stored as `Axis.pi` instead of handing around linked split
references (which are way out of scope for a single axis).
More work needs to be done to remove dependence on `.chart:
ChartPlotWidget` references in the date axis type as per comments.
Comments out the pixel-cache resetting since it doesn't seem we need it
any more to avoid draw oddities?
For `.fast_path` appends, this nearly got it working except the new path
segments are either not being connected correctly (step curve) or not
being drawn in full since the history path (plain line).
Leaving the attempted code commented in for a retry in the future; my
best guesses are that maybe,
- `.connectPath()` call is being done with incorrect segment length
and/or start point.
- the "appended" data: `appended = array[-append_len-1:slice_to_head]`
(done inside the formatter) isn't correct (i.e. endpoint handling
considering a path append) and needs special handling for different
curve types?
