Closes #2051 (closed), #2143 (closed)
This MR clean up stuffs around the custom plot API.
The aim is to make the API a bit more consistent, maintainable, and make sure we will not have further regressions.
As a lot of small things were changed, this could introduce small regressions here and there.
- Update of the user documentation
- Coverage of the user plots including deprecated methods
- Added a new API for the curve plot (see bellow)
- Small tune of the widget used to hold the plots
- Lot of small fixes around the user API
The new curve plot API:
# Create the data
t = numpy.linspace(0, 10 * numpy.pi, 100)
s1 = numpy.sin(t)
s2 = numpy.sin(t + numpy.pi * 0.5)
s3 = numpy.sin(t + numpy.pi * 1.0)
s4 = numpy.sin(t + numpy.pi * 1.5)
# -----------------------
# Create the plot
f = flint()
p = f.get_plot("curve", name="My plot", unique_name="myplot")
# Describe the plot
p.add_curve_item("t", "s1", color="pink")
p.add_curve_item("t", "s2", color="green")
p.add_curve_item("t", "s3", color="blue")
p.add_curve_item("t", "s4")
...
# Transfer the data, which update the plot
p.set_data(t=t, s1=s1, s2=s2, s3=s3, s4=s4)
