fix(console): remove histogram minimum count #424
Conversation
The sparklines histogram used to visualize poll times and scheduled times renders a legend for both axes. On the horizontal axis, it displays the durations for the minimum and maximum buckets. On the vertical axis, it displays the bucket count minimum and maximums. Unfortunately, the minimum values for each axis are places together, which can be confusing: ```text ╭Poll Times Histogram─────────────────────────────────╮ │46█ │ │ █ │ │ █ │ │ █ │ │ █ ▂ │ │ █▁█▇▃▁▁ ▁ ▁▁ ▁ │ │ 031.23µs 7.11ms│ ╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ ^|----| │ ╰─ This is the minimum bucket duration value ╰── This is the minimum count ``` This can be confusing because it looks like there is an erroneous leading zero on the minimum bucket duration. If the minimum value is not zero, then the vertical axis minimum is updated, but the bottom of the sparkline still represents zero. This sitaution is unlikely, I had to add a fixed value to the bucket counts to generate the histogram below. ```text ╭Poll Times Histogram─────────────────────────────────╮ │32██ │ │ ██▇ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ ▁ │ │ ███▇▆▆▆█▇▆▇▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▇▆▆▆▆█▆▇▆█▆▇█▆█▇▇▇▆▇▇▆▇▆▆▇▆▆▆▆▆▇ │ │ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████ │ │ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████ │ │ ██████████████████████████████████████████████████ │ │2033.79µs 536.58µs │ ╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯ ^^|----| │ ╰─ This is the minimum bucket duration value ╰── This is the minimum count ``` This is probably misleading.

Thanks, this definitely looks less confusing!
Another potential solution, if we did want to display the minimum value, would be to move the axis labels outside of the bounding box we draw around the histogram, so that it looks like this:
╭Poll Times Histogram───────────────────────────────╮
46│█ │
│█ │
│█ │
│█ ▂ │
│█▁█▇▃▁▁ ▁ ▁▁ ▁ │
0╰───────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
31.23µs 7.11ms
I think this would probably be substantially more work, though, and the current solution already solves a lot of the potential ambiguity, so I'm happy to merge this as-is and if we want to sink more time into making it fancier, we can do that later!
I think that experimenting with where we place the labels would be interesting. We'd have to make sure that they don't end up confusing things with the other widgets' bounding boxes. |
