2021-01-03statistics: reverse chart selection logicGravatar Berthold Stoeger
The old ways was to select the chart first, then depending on the chart choose the binning. Willem says that it should work the other way round: select the binning (or operation) and make the charts depend on that. I'm not arguing one way or the other, just note that the new way is much more tricky, because it is easy to get unsupported combinations. For example, there is no chart where the first variable is unbinned, but the second axis is binned or has an operation. This makes things distinctly more tricky and this code still needs a thorough audit. Since this is all more tricky, implement a "invalid" chart state. Ideally that should be never shown to the user, but let's try to be defensive. Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>
2021-01-02statistics: implement a structure representing the chart stateGravatar Berthold Stoeger
The StatsState structure fully describes the current state of the chart: the selected axes, operations and additional chart features, such as legend or labels. The code implements sanity checks and reacts accordingly, if an invalid combination of variables and charts is chosen. The chart and variable lists to be displayed can be queried and are encapsulated in the StatsState::UIState structure. Some variable / chart combinations are possible, but not recommended, which is represented by a warning flag. Signed-off-by: Berthold Stoeger <bstoeger@mail.tuwien.ac.at>
