life-graph's Issues

Hints are not properly detected as lying on top of other annotations

Describe the bug
The image below shows that overlaps with hints are not detected.

from lifegraph.lifegraph import Lifegraph, Papersize, random_color, Point, Side
from datetime import date, datetime

if __name__ == '__main__':
    birthday = date(1995, 11, 20)
    g = Lifegraph(birthday, dpi=300, size=Papersize.A4, max_age=100, label_space_epsilon=1)

    g.settings.otherParams["annotation.left.offset"] = 3
    g.settings.otherParams["annotation.right.offset"] = 3

    # same day that I was accepted onto performance team :`)
    g.add_life_event('thing 2', date(2019, 1, 7), '#00008B')
    g.add_life_event('thing 3', date(2018, 12, 8), '#87CEFA')
    g.add_life_event('thing 4', date(2013, 11, 20), '#014421')
    g.add_life_event('thing 5', date(2014, 2, 14), '#DC143C', hint=(25, -5))
    g.add_life_event(r'thing 6', date(2020, 2, 14), (.522, .733, .396))

    now = date(2020, 8, 22)
    g.add_life_event('Today', date(now.year, now.month, now.day), (0.75, 0, 0.75))

    g.add_era("thing 7", date(2001, 8, 24), date(2007, 6, 5), 'r')
    g.add_era("thing 8", date(2007, 8, 24), date(2008, 6, 5), '#00838f')

    g.add_era_span("thing 12", date(2016, 8, 22), date(2016, 12, 16), '#D2691E', hint=Point(53, 28))

    g.add_title("Title")

    g.show_max_age_label()

Save graph configuration to a file

Pickle the graph information.

• Allow only the data to be saved
• Allow the runtime params of matplotlib to be saved

Large annotation spill over the edge.

There is text in the graph produced by the annotation spillover file which shows the first limitation of the annotations. They do not automatically detect when the text is too large and would be printed off-screen.

• Try to detect when the text does this and insert new lines accordingly.
• Add a flag to turn this detection off

from lifegraph.lifegraph import Lifegraph, Papersize, Side
from datetime import date

if __name__ == '__main__':
    birthday = date(1990, 11, 1)
    g = Lifegraph(birthday, dpi=300, size=Papersize.A4, max_age=100)

    g.add_title("Time is Not Equal to Money")
    g.show_max_age_label()

    # a random color will be chosen if you don't provide one
    g.add_life_event('My first paycheck', date(2006, 8, 23))

    # colors can be added as hex strings
    # and you can hint at which side you want the text on
    g.add_life_event('Graduated highschool', date(2008, 6, 2), color="#00FF00", side=Side.LEFT)

    # or RGB
    g.add_life_event('First car purchased', date(2010, 7, 14), color = (1, 0, 0))

    g.save("images/annotation_spillover.png")

Publish package to pypi

Allow an axes instance to be passed in

Allow the user to pass in an axes instance instead of creating a new one each time

Remove paper sizes and defaults

Papersizes

Honestly, I don't know if the paper sizes produced by this are correct. I also don't know how the paper sizes and the DPI play together. If anyone knows this information and can tell me what the relationship is and how to properly set both the page size and DPI if what I am doing is wrong, please let me know. Even links to an article would be appreciated in solving this.
