# plot-reborn
The `plot-reborn` bundle provides directives for composing plot based views.
It also exposes domain objects for plotting telemetry points.
## Views
* OverlayPlot: can be used on any domain object that has or delegates a
telemetry capability.
* StackedPlot: can be used on any domain object that delegates telemetry or
delegates composition of elements that have telemetry.
## Directives
* `mct-chart`: an element that takes `series`, `viewport`, and
`rectangles` and plots the data. Adding points to a series after it has
been initially plotted can be done either by recreating the series object
or by broadcasting "series:data:add" with arguments `event`, `seriesIndex`,
`points`. This will append `points` to the `series` at index `seriesIndex`.
* `mct-plot`: A directive that wraps a mct-chart and handles user interactions
with that plot. It emits events that a parent view can use for coordinating
functionality:
* emits a `user:viewport:change:start` event when the viewport begins being
changed by a user, to allow any parent controller to prevent viewport
modifications while the user is interacting with the plot.
* emits a `user:viewport:change:end` event when the user has finished
changing the viewport. This allows a controller on a parent scope to
track viewport history and provide any necessary functionality
around viewport changes, e.g. viewport history.
* `mct-overlay-plot`: A directive that takes `domainObject` and plots either a
single series of data (in the case of a single telemetry object) or multiple
series of data (in the case of a object which delegates telemetry).
## Controllers
NOTE: this section not accurate. Essentially, these controllers format data for
the mct-chart directive. They also handle live viewport updating, as well as
managing all transformations from domain objects to views.
* StackPlotController: Uses the composition capability of a StackPlot domain
object to retrieve SubPlots and render them with individual PlotControllers.
* PlotController: Uses either a domain object that delegates telemetry or a
domain object with telemetry to and feeds that data to the mct-chart
directive.
## TODOS:
* [ ] Re-implement history stack.
* [ ] Re-implement plot pallette.
* [ ] Re-implement stacked plot viewport synchronization (share viewport object)
* [ ] Other things?
* [ ] Handle edge cases with marquee zoom/panning.
* [ ] Tidy code.
