New

• Tooltips! figure = Figure(show_tooltips=True) will autogenerate tooltips that display the graphic's data at the current mouse pointer position. For customization see the examples gallery.
• Graphic is now public and available as a top level import, useful for typing and subclassing. fastplotlib.Graphic.
• All GraphicFeatures are now public and available under the fastplotlib.graphics.features namespace. Useful for typing and subclassing for advanced use cases.
• GraphicFeatureEvent is now public and also available as a top level import, i.e. fastplotlib.GraphicFeatureEvent, since this can be frequently used for typing in event callback functions.
• Faster array subsampling that takes into account the relative dimensions of the input array, now used for quick_min_max(). Thanks @FlynnOConnell !
• Infinite line material from pygfx gives us a much nicer LinearSelector!

Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v0.5.0

New

• Window layouts! You can create subplots with arbitrary rects/extents on the canvas, move and resize them! From #740.
  See the Examples Gallery to learn how to create them.

• Bidirectional events are supported! No changes in the API, just add event handlers as you normally would without worrying about recursion if you end up with cycles in your event graph. 😄 #744
• #771 , not officially documented for now, the way in which you access this might change in the future but we plan to keep this because it's very useful

Breaking

• Subplot.set_title no longer exists, use Subplot.title = "new_title_text". Subplot.title will return a TextGraphic that you can further format.
• The prototype video recorder (which wasn't really exposed) has been removed since it was very wonky. Once #765 is done we will have a proper way to create a video.

Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.4.0

New

• Axes! We finally have basic axes, thanks to @almarklein 🥳 . Currently not very performative but good enough for many use cases. If you do not need axes and require the absolute highest performance set the axes visibility to False.
• ImGUI integration! Optional imgui integration using imgui_bundle. Provides subplot toolbars, right click menus, and allows implementation of UI elements within the canvas. This allows you to create UIs that will work across all GUI backends, Qt, glfw, and jupyter! See the examples to learn more.
• use the cmap library
• RectangleRegionSelector

Major release

Breaking changes

• Graphic properties (such as data, colors, thickness etc.) have been refactored. They are much simpler now.
  • Please see this for a description of the new API, concise and in-depth comparison are given: #511 (comment)
  • Events should be added onto graphics now, not onto graphic properties. ex: do not do: line.colors.add_event_handler(), instead do: line.add_event_handler(<callback>, "colors"). Decorators are also supported, for more info see #511 (comment)
  • selector selection is now in data space, and doesn't return indices. For example, linear_selector.selection will return the x or y position of the selector in data space, not the index like before. See the "selectors" section here for more details or the selector docs: #511 (comment)
• Figure is new and is largely the same as the former Gridplot. Plot no longer exists. See #479
