Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.
commit 2835d552440be48d356a7f7b1d64963696dd550b
Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 30 19:20:48 2021 +0700
Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

This is a user-visible change, but the previous behavior

with graph.scale set the graph mysteriously couldn't
zoom in onto values that are smaller than 1.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.
commit 2835d552440be48d356a7f7b1d64963696dd550b
Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 30 19:20:48 2021 +0700
Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

This makes its behave symmetrically to min_value.
Now it defaults to 1, when graph.scale is not set,
and to the maximum value in the graph data, when graph.scale is set.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Also document and clarify some color stuff.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.
commit 2835d552440be48d356a7f7b1d64963696dd550b
Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 30 19:20:48 2021 +0700
Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Fix the "border_width affects graph bar width" bug
Graph bars were drawn with lines of border_width thickness
instead of 1, i.e. possibly too fat to be readable.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.
commit 2835d552440be48d356a7f7b1d64963696dd550b
Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 30 19:20:48 2021 +0700
Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).
commit 2e3d542282f35e7c0fed454da0f2eada0fcf3b78
Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle

2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

instead of 1, i.e. possibly too fat to be readable.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

This is a user-visible change, but the previous behavior

with graph.scale set the graph mysteriously couldn't
zoom in onto values that are smaller than 1.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.
commit 2835d552440be48d356a7f7b1d64963696dd550b
Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 30 19:20:48 2021 +0700
Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Date: Fri Apr 16 22:52:37 2021 +0700
Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Use 1-based index in the inner graph draw loop
It's used there only once for a calculation and
then several times to index some tables,
and index 0 is bad for lua tables performance-wise.

Leave graph.max_value uninitialized at construction
This is a user-visible change, but the previous behavior
was probably not what user expected anyway, namely
with graph.scale set the graph mysteriously couldn't
zoom in onto values that are smaller than 1.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

with graph.scale set the graph mysteriously couldn't
zoom in onto values that are smaller than 1.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle

2) whole graph shifted right too much,

In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 30 19:20:48 2021 +0700
Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Use 1-based index in the inner graph draw loop
It's used there only once for a calculation and

Leave graph.max_value uninitialized at construction
This is a user-visible change, but the previous behavior

with graph.scale set the graph mysteriously couldn't
zoom in onto values that are smaller than 1.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle

especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Graph bars were drawn with lines of border_width thickness
instead of 1, i.e. possibly too fat to be readable.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

This is a user-visible change, but the previous behavior

with graph.scale set the graph mysteriously couldn't
zoom in onto values that are smaller than 1.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle

especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.
commit 2835d552440be48d356a7f7b1d64963696dd550b
Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 30 19:20:48 2021 +0700
Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Use 1-based index in the inner graph draw loop
It's used there only once for a calculation and
then several times to index some tables,
and index 0 is bad for lua tables performance-wise.

Leave graph.max_value uninitialized at construction
This is a user-visible change, but the previous behavior
was probably not what user expected anyway, namely
with graph.scale set the graph mysteriously couldn't
zoom in onto values that are smaller than 1.

Allow graph.max_value be nil
This makes its behave symmetrically to min_value.
Now it defaults to 1, when graph.scale is not set,
and to the maximum value in the graph data, when graph.scale is set.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Fix unsharp edges when drawing graph bars with rectangles
The 0.5 offset is only helpful for 1-width strokes, not for fills.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Fix the "border_width affects graph bar width" bug
Graph bars were drawn with lines of border_width thickness
instead of 1, i.e. possibly too fat to be readable.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.
commit 2835d552440be48d356a7f7b1d64963696dd550b
Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 30 19:20:48 2021 +0700
Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Refactor property handling in wibox.widget.graph

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and

2) whole graph shifted right too much,

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.
commit 2835d552440be48d356a7f7b1d64963696dd550b
Author: Alex Belykh <albel727@ngs.ru>
Date: Fri Apr 30 19:20:48 2021 +0700
Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Date: Fri Apr 16 13:35:12 2021 +0700
Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Use 1-based index in the inner graph draw loop
It's used there only once for a calculation and
then several times to index some tables,
and index 0 is bad for lua tables performance-wise.

Leave graph.max_value uninitialized at construction
This is a user-visible change, but the previous behavior

with graph.scale set the graph mysteriously couldn't
zoom in onto values that are smaller than 1.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Fix the "border_width affects graph bar width" bug
Graph bars were drawn with lines of border_width thickness
instead of 1, i.e. possibly too fat to be readable.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle

2) whole graph shifted right too much,

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Fix the "border_width affects graph bar width" bug
Graph bars were drawn with lines of border_width thickness

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN
0 as a default makes no sense and silences the error
that is failing to specify a value, to which the user
should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so
things like i-1 and i>1 aren't necessary and
actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.

Make widget graph:add_value(v) default v to NaN

should rather be alerted. The graph widget has sane
NaN handling now and will do just that.

Implement graph.nan_color and nan_indication properties
Now, whenever there's a NaN among values and
graph.nan_indication is set, the corresponding area,
where the value bar should have been drawn, is filled
with the nan_color from top to bottom.
The painting is done after all data is rendered,
to make sure that it won't be overpainted and go unnoticed.
NaNs among graph's values are inevitably a sign of
some error and it is arguably not a sane default behavior
to simply not render them at all. The user should take
immediate note of any errors by default, instead of
wondering at a mysteriously empty graph widget, which
is why nan_indication is set to true by default.
If the user wants to silence NaNs, they can always simply
set it to false.
nan_color if unset, defaults to a noticeable yellow-black
pattern.
As a direct and planned consequence, stacked graphs
with negative values in them trigger the NaN handling too.
But silencing NaN handling for those graphs is also possible
and semi-sane, because then NaNs and negatives are ignored
and the graph behaves (almost) like they were zeros.

Refactor graph:draw() to separate concerns
Firstly, summation of group values for stacked graphs
is extracted into graph:preprocess_values().
This makes graph:draw() smaller and exposes the fact, that
stacked graphs are almost entirely just a form of
a more general concept: pre-render data manipulation.
It's something a user might want to customize,
and now they can do it by monkey-patching the method.
Secondly, the logic for deciding, if and with which color
a data group should be drawn, is extracted into
graph:should_draw_data_group() and get_data_group_color()
methods respectively.
This makes it customizable too and makes more obvious
the fact, that it is a general thing that has nothing
to do with stacked graphs in particular.
With this there are only 5 lines remaining in graph:draw(),
that could be said to be specific to stacked graphs,
all pertaining to the `prev_y` variable, which merely
preserves the bar coordinates from a previous data group.

Pointlessly optimize graph:add_value()
1) Purge old values first, then insert the new one, if needed.
Since Lua grows arrays in power of two steps, and our
guess_capacity() also takes care to return even integers,
it would be a shame to overstep the capacity by one by
inserting first and thus getting the table size doubled
only to never use the most of it.
2) Use a removal procedure that doesn't call
the slow length operator at all. Previous code called it
twice (once in table.remove) for every removed value.

Track graph draw() usage to guess necessary array capacity
The last step of divorcing add_values() from width calculations,
while ensuring that user doesn't observe a lack of data to draw.
The widget now tracks an approximate number of values that
it has been asked to draw() in _private.last_drawn_values_num,
and truncates its values array based on that
(if not overridden by the capacity property).

Add `capacity` property to graph widget
This is the second step of divorcing add_values()
from calculations involving widths.
How many values are stored and how many values are drawn
are distinct concepts. There isn't even a single definitive
"how many values are drawn" because the widget could
be rendered in several places with distinct widths simultaneously,
and in every such place the data must be drawn appropriately,
e.g. with auto-scaling, that takes only the visible data points
into account. And the draw() method can do that now.
The default capacity value of nil uses heuristics
based on widget's _private.width to guess some capacity
that would tolerate some dynamic widget resizing.
If the user finds the heuristic failing them, they
can set the capacity property to the desired maximum number
of values that will be kept in the _private.values array
(in each data group).

Extract values size computation into compute_drawn_values_num()
This is the first step of making add_values() not
concern itself (directly) with widget dimensions.
The user can monkey-patch the method to override
how many values are (logically) drawn, because
it affects graph auto-scaling and can be useful for rendering
of step_shape-s that paint outside of their step_width.
I didn't make it a full-blown function-valued property,
because it seems a fringe functionality,
which I'm too lazy to document.

Remove graph.baseline_y property
After giving it some thought I've concluded, that it is unlikely
to be useful as it is now. I'd better reserve the name for
some more sensible functionality, like fixing the baseline_value
defined axis at the given widget coordinate, adjusting the scaling
accordingly, so min_value/max_value won't generally correspond
to widget top and bottom anymore.

Add baseline_y and baseline_value properties to graph widget
Now values in graph have a *baseline*, tunable with
baseline_y and baseline_value properties.
It is the (for now invisible) horizontal line from which
all bars in the graph grow. I call it a "baseline"
instead of "axis", because it doesn't actually have to correspond
to the 0 value. But it can, and actually does now by default.
baseline_y and baseline_value properties determine
the vertical placement of the baseline in the widget.
baseline_y is the position of the baseline in normalized
widget coordinates, e.g. 0 corresponds to widget's top,
1 - to widget's bottom, and 0.5 - to widget's middle.
So if e.g. one sets baseline_y = 0, then no matter how the widget
is resized and how its values are scaled, bars in it will be drawn
starting from the top.
baseline_value is the position of the baseline in
value coordinates.
So if one sets baseline_value = 10, then no matter what happens,
bars for values greater than 10 will be drawn as growing up from
this line, and bars for values smaller as growing down.
Where and if it will be seen in the widget, depends on the scaling.
baseline_value = 0 is the familiar zero axis.
baseline_y is unset by default and has priority, i.e.
if it's set, then baseline_value is ignored.
baseline_value defaults to 0.
Prior to this commit, bars were always drawn from the bottom edge
of the widget, or, in the new terms, the widget had baseline_y = 1.
But it was indistinguishable from baseline_value = 0, because
the widget clamped all negative values to 0, so the difference
between the two could never be observed. baseline_value = 0 is
clearly more useful and familiar to people, so now it is in force
by default.

Move value clamping from graph:add_value() into draw()
Previously all values were forcibly clamped between
0 (not tunable at all) and max_value (1 by default).
Thus graphs with negative values were not an option.
NaN values were conflated with zeros, even though
it may be useful to maintain the distinction and render
them differently. And if user happened to dynamically
change the max_value property, they discovered,
that their data got truncated.
Preserving user data as it was given is more flexible and
makes things easier to debug. This commit does exactly that.
So what happens now to the newly allowed values during draw()?
There are 3 new cases to consider:
1) NaNs
2) Negatives
3) Values outside of min_value..max_value range
NaNs are presently simply not drawn. An empty place is reserved
where the value should've been, but nothing else is done.
This is distinct from how a zero is handled,
e.g. if step_shape is set, it is called with the height
parameter = 0, which can still end up drawing something,
depending on the shape.
One could also consider addition of nan_color/nan_shape
properties which could be drawn to alert user
to a gap in their data.
Negative values necessitate introduction of the concept of
the zero axis, from which they will be drawn DOWN, in contrast to
positive values. Where should this axis be drawn?
How should step_shape-s with inherent direction, e.g. arrows,
be drawn for negatives? This will be addressed in the next commit.
Values outside of min/max_value range can imply shapes that
go beyond widget dimensions. An arrow shape that goes beyond
the roof is visibly different from an arrow that saturates and
merely touches the widget top, and the user may reasonably desire
either behavior. Therefore this commit introduces
a boolean clamp_bars property, which defaults to true
for reasons of robustness and backward compatibility with
the behaviour prior to this commit. The property of course affects
only the display of the values, the actual user data stays intact.

Use rectangles for drawing graph bars of all sizes
I have benchmarked various bar drawing strategies
and graph sizes and found out that drawing graph bars
with rectangles is as fast or even marginally faster
than using fat lines.
Thus the code that tries to special-case 1px bars
as lines seems to be not worth the additional complexity
it introduces, and this commit removes it.
Incidentally, I've also established, that rectangles
are more robust. If one draws graph bars and feeds
cairo very large coordinates (~2^62), then corresponding
rectangles fail to render, but all the other rectangles
in the same series get rendered successfully,
whereas a single large coordinate in a move_to/line_to()
sequence is enough to cause all lines in the batch
to fail to render.

Cache cairo methods used in the inner loop of graph:draw()
I have benchmarked the draw() method, both
on cairo xcb and on argb32 image surfaces, and have discovered
that cairo context method calls are unnaturally slow,
to the point, that almost nothing else in the function matters.
For example, drawing bars with vertical lines made
the whole draw() function almost 2 times slower
than doing the same with rectangles, merely because
the former requires two method calls (move_to/line_to),
and the latter only one.
Simply caching hotpath cairo methods in local variables,
reduced the difference between the drawing methods
to a negligible one and made the whole function
4 times faster on a typical 100-bar graph,
(1.4ms to 0.33ms on my laptop) thus bringing closer
my secret dream of drawing live audio data with
awesome graphs (kidding).
I guess, LGI does something not very optimal there,
like gobject-introspecting the method every time,
or something. There might be some untapped optimization
potential, possibly in upstream, like a method cache,
from which everything in awesome could benefit,
even though I imagine not many things are so
call-intensive as the graph widget, to really feel
the difference.

Calculate max values num in graph:add_value() more precisely
At most so many values were kept in the widget values array,
as there are pixels of usable widget width (i.e. sans border).
This is exactly right for the surely most common case
of graphs with 1px-wide bars, but is more than needed for
graphs with step_width+step_spacing>1, and not enough for
graphs with subpixel bars.
Moreover this made graph autoscaling behave weirdly in
graphs with thicker bars, because
old values survived longer in the array and
kept affecting min_value/max_value calculations
even after they were shifted off-screen.
The maximum number of kept values is now calculated exactly
as the number of values that can be displayed at once,
taking step_width and step_spacing into account.
It might be worth adding a max_values_num property to the graph
to let user override this calculation, in case they draw
shapes in step_shape() outside of its supposed rectangle,
so our assumptions of visibility are wrong, or
the widget often gets resized, resulting in the annoyance of
visibly truncated series.

Fix border_color/border_width bugs in graph widget
add_value() wrongly assumed that border_width is always set,
when border_color is, so if user set only the latter,
an error occurred.
add_value() assumed that border_width is always < width
which led to awesome hanging up in an infinite loop,
should that fail to be the case.
The graph border_width property was driven
by the border_color property, instead of the other way round.
If border_color wasn't set, the border wasn't drawn all,
even if user sets non-zero border_width, which is
a confusing behavior, in contrast to all other widgets,
which simply use a plethora of fallback colors
to draw the border, when needed.
This also meant that, despite being documented,
the beautiful.graph_border_color fallback color
could not and was not ever used.
If the border_color was set though, an unset
border_width was immediately assumed to be 1 instead of 0,
also contrary to what other widgets do.
Theme colors shouldn't influence widget layout,
so this commit fixes this behavior to:
1) border_width always defaults to 0, if unset.
2) border_color falls back to
beautiful.graph_border_color or white.
Maybe one should also add a beautiful.graph_border_width
theme variable, like some widgets do.

Implement multiple data series drawing for non-stacked graph
The widget can already hold and draw multiple data groups,
so it makes little sense to limit drawing only to the first group
when graph.stack = false, probably leading to user's confusion.
Now user can call add_value(v, group) with group > 1 and
the data series will be drawn (over groups with lesser id-s)
with graph.stack_colors[group] color, if stack_colors is set, or
with graph.color, if stack_colors isn't set.
Thus nothing visibly changes for all current users
of non-stacked graphs with only single data series,
but the new functionality is now there for those who need it.
One can't fully emulate this functionality, e.g. with
multiple graphs widgets in a wibox.layout.stack, because
data series in a single widget can enjoy a common auto-scaling.

Don't draw a stacked graph data group if there's no color for it
If stack_colors[idx] is nil for the group `idx`,
don't draw it at all (as opposed, e.g. to the effect
of drawing it with a transparent color, or as though
it had all values == 0, which both produce different results).
This code is still subtly different from prior behavior,
because now user can have a non-contiguous stack_colors table
and turn the display of any data group on and off at will,
whereas the code two commits earlier would just stop
rendering as soon as ipairs(stack_colors) does, i.e.
no data series were drawn past the first nil hole.
This commit only looks large, but is mostly a whitespace change
due to nesting from a pair of wrapping ifs.

Unify stacked and non-stacked graph rendering
Now stacked graphs support everything the nonstacked do,
like step_width ~= 1 and custom step_shape-s.
Technical notes:
This code no longer calls cr:stroke() for every single value
in a stacked graph, but rather paints a whole series and
then cr:stroke/fill()-s it at all once with its color,
improving performance considerably.
Additionally the graph no longer relies on the presence
of the stack_colors property to render series.
It draws all data that it has, and, if there's no corresponding
color in stack_colors, falls back to graph.color.
This will be changed in the next commit to
the prior behavior of only drawing those series
for which there's a color in the stack_colors table,
but that would've made this commit's diff much larger due to
required nesting ifs over large code chunks.
This commit also takes care to properly handle NaNs
and negative values.
Those are currently (almost) guaranteed to not occur in
the values array due to clipping in graph:add_value(),
but I intend to eventually drop the clipping, because it
does nothing that draw() really relies upon,
and allowing unclipped and NaN values is more flexible and less
surprising, e.g. when user dynamically toggles graph.scale.
Eventually I intend to implement drawing negative values
in non-stacked graphs and possibly even in the stacked ones.

Fix scaling for stacked graphs
Stacked graphs have cumulative heights,
values from all groups that end up in the same graph bar are
effectively summed. Previous code didn't take that into account
when calculating min/max_value for the purposes of rescaling, but
simply examined every value separately.
This code adds up all values up front and finds min/max among those,
to determine proper scaling that would fit the graph exactly.

Draw shaped graph bars only up to the baseline
Prior to this commit, every step_shape bar was,
for some reason, drawn with height = full widget's height,
regardless of the value it represents.
So for the most bars their lower end was far outside the box
and therefore clipped off. So e.g. one couldn't see the
lower round edges of rounded rectangles.
This commit fixes that by appropriately varying the height
that is passed into step_shape(), so that lower edges of the bars
always exactly touch the lower edge of the graph.
If the user wants to restore the prior behavior, they can simply
ignore the passed-in height in step_shape() and
just always draw their shape with height = full widget height.
But they couldn't replicate the effect of this commit in
their rc.lua without essentially writing their own graph widget.

Avoid incremental transform shifting during graph bar rendering
Instead of letting addition errors and cognitive load accumulate
simply use the same offset calculation that is used for lines and
reset the transform back to the top-left corner after every drawn bar.
It's conceptually simpler, and will be useful later for
stacked graphs and more.
It also fixes a discrepancy between plain and step_shape rendering.
Prior to this commit, bar coloring occurred with a disturbed transform,
which was centered at the last drawn bar, wherever it happened to be.
This meant that nontrivial colors, like gradients and images,
were arbitrarily offset when step_shape was used.

Draw graph bars with lines only when step_width == 1
Before this commit graph bars of step_width < 1
were drawn with lines of width 1, but that's a bit unfortunate,
because it led to much overpainting, while still ending up
with a graphically incorrect result.
Let's draw such bars with rectangles and let cairo
do things with subpixels, getting more graphically
accurate result, while still keeping the common case
of step_width == 1 (supposedly) fast-drawn with lines.

Do coordinate transformations even if the value isn't drawn
The graph presently doesn't draw values < 0, but there was
a discrepancy between drawing with and without step_shape.
The default line/rectangle drawing reserves an empty place
where the skipped value should've been,
but no such empty place is reserved, when step_shape is used.
This commit fixes that.
Skipped values always have their empty space now.

Fix wrong horizontal offset calculations in widget.graph
Indices in the loop are zero-based, so

actually wouldn't have been correct even in a 1-based loop.
step_shape = gears.shape.rectangle and
step_shape = nil, which is supposed to default to rectangle
according to docs, were drawn differently due
to mismatched offset calculations, which led to problems
especially noticeable when step_spacing is not zero, e.g:
1) whole graph shifted left too much, drawn partially off-screen.
2) whole graph shifted right too much,
and the first bar placed closer to the rest than others.

Simplify internal values representation in graph even more
New values in graph._private.values were pushed to the end,
and old values were removed from the beginning of the table.
In draw() however newer values are drawn first,
at the left edge of the graph, necessitating
annoying idx = #values - idx conversions everywhere.
In particular in stacked graph that means that
values that are drawn together may have different indices.
One has to shift the values array in add_value()
either way, so one might as well insert
new values at the beginning of the array
and simplify the rest of the code.
This doesn't seem like much yet, but it will prove
to be much more convenient and less error-prone in
what I'm going to do later.

Simplify internal values representation in graph widget
graph._private.values was either a table of values or
a table of tables of values, depending on whether
"stack" property is enabled, ... or a mix of both
if user forgot to pass the second "group" parameter
to graph:add_value().
This resulted in pretty fragile and confusing behavior,
e.g. leaving user to wonder, why they see nothing more
after setting stack=true for a graph in a previously working
rc.lua, and demanding a very careful use of
add_value() from the user, or else some values or
even entire stacks would mysteriously vanish
and errors in draw() get triggered,
sometimes after a period of seemingly normal functioning.
Now `values` is always a table of tables and
the group parameter in add_value() defaults to 1,
thus making the non-stacked graph a trivial variant
of the stacked graph.
