The hand-rolled wheel-zoom + drag-pan (wheelZoomPlugin) was hakelig/glitchy —
uPlot is not built to be driven that way. Remove the plugin and the cursor.drag
override so uPlot's own defaults govern the mouse: drag = box-zoom on x,
double-click = reset to full range, with the legend value-readout and crosshair
unchanged.
Everything else from the Tier-1 pass stays: the ordinal (gap-collapsed) x-axis
default + continuous toggle, the ordinal-label honesty (ticks/legend report the
real xs[i]), and panel cursor-sync (cursor.sync key retained; only the drag
override and the plugin are dropped). The x-mode guard is flipped to pin the
revert — overlay carries no custom plugin and no cursor.drag override, panels
carry no plugin — and stays green alongside the other three chart guards.
refs #103
The served trace chart's x-axis no longer plots against raw timestamps by
default — non-trading gaps (nights, weekends) left horizontal blanks that
dominated the view. The x spine is now ordinal by default: every recorded slot
sits at an even position, so gaps collapse and the signal fills the width. A
header toggle flips to continuous (real-time-proportional) spacing and back;
default ordinal honours the requested "x-axis should not be continuous", with
continuous as the one-click option.
Comfort, all on the read/render side (the engine and the Rust serve contract
are untouched — window.AURA_TRACES still carries the real xs, the ordinal
indices are derived client-side):
- ordinal mode keeps the axis honest: ticks and the legend value-readout map a
collapsed index back to the real xs[i], never the index itself.
- wheel-zoom (x, cursor-anchored), drag-pan, double-click-reset on the plot
(uPlot's default drag-box-zoom is disabled so drag pans).
- panels share a cursor.sync key, so the crosshair lines up across stacked
panels.
Confined to chart-viewer.js (buildCharts gains an xMode param + a wheelZoomPlugin
factory; mount re-renders on the toggle) and render.rs (CHART_HEAD toggle button
+ a chart-only style). The two twin node guards (build/gaps) re-point to the
ordinal default in lockstep; a new x-mode guard pins ordinal-default / continuous
/ panel-sync / plugin wiring, and a label-honesty guard (gappy-traces fixture,
xs far from the index spine) pins that ordinal ticks report the real timestamp.
Verified: cargo test --workspace green (incl. the four chart guards + render
inline tests), clippy --all-targets -D warnings clean, e2e (aura run --trace +
aura chart) emits a self-contained page defaulting to ordinal with the toggle.
