The updatePaintNode() function, which is run on the render
thread detected a geometry change and initiated recalculation
of the chart layout.
This means that plotAreaChanged() was called in two different
thread contexts, which is questionable. Instead, hook into
the geometryChanged() function and recalculate the chart items
there.
This fixes a rendering bug, because the old code would first
delete unneeded items and then rerender the chart. Thus, old
grid and tick items were still visible.

While this didn't appear to be needed when dragging the legend with a
mouse, on a touch screen for some reason the drag ended after 30 pixels
either way horizontally (but no apparent limit vertically). By setting
this flag to true, drags on a tablet appear to work as expected.

Up to now, when the user changed the visibility of chart features
(legend, quartiles, labels, etc.) the whole chart was replot.
Instead, only change the visibility status of these items.
After all, this modularity is one of the things the conversion
to QSG was all about.

The code was wrong, because it deleted the ChartItems in the
main UI thread, not the render thread. This would delete the
QSG nodes in the UI thread and then crash on mobile.
Therefore refactor this part of the code by adding the
items to be deleted to a list that will be deleted by the
render thread.
As a drop in replacement of std::unique_ptr, implement
a silly ChartItemPtr class, which auto-initializes to null.
This turns the deterministic and easily controlled memory
management into a steaming pile of insanity. Obviously,
this can be made much more elegant, but this has to do for now.

Since there are no disk-segment QSG primitives (one could draw
a triangle fan, but that doesn't seem optimal), this draws
into a pixmap and blits that as a QSG node.
Since this is the only series without axis, it needs a function
that returns the size of the plot area. This didn't exist, so
add it.

So far the items to be recalculated in the drawing thread
had a "dirty" flag and were kept in one array par z-level.
Once the series are implemented in terms of QSGNodes, there
may lots of these items. To make this more efficient when
only one or two of these items change (e.g. highlighting due
to mouseover), keep the dirty items in a linked list.
Of course, this makes the draw first version of the chart
less efficient.
There are more fancy ways of implementing the double-linked
list, but the few ns gained in the render thread are hardly
worth it.

Render the labels and the title into a pixmap and render
the ticks and the base line using individual QSGNodes.
Attempting to render the ticks likewise into the pixmap
gave horrible results, because (quite obviously) rendering
with QPainter and the QSG shader gives non-matching ticks
and grid lines.
The memory management had to be changed a bit: The ChartItems
were collected in the root QSGNode. However, the axes are added
before the first plotting, so this node might not exist.
Therefore, store the axes in the StatsView object.

Turn the background grid into QSGNodes. Each grid line is

Currently, the background was drawn as solid color onto
the chart-scene. This is of course incompatible with doing
the grid as QSGNodes. Therefore, make the scene image
transparent and use a QSGRectangle as background color.
We could also simply omit the background and show the
widget's background. However, that would mean setting
the background color in two seperate code paths
(desktop and mobile). I found no way of directly setting
the background of the QQuickItem.

Slowly converting the QGraphicsScene items to QSGNodes to
avoid full replot of the scene.
This adds a new abstraction for line-nodes. Since the render()
function here is fundamentally different from the pixmap-nodes
we had so far, this has to be made virtual.
Also, move the quartile markers to their own source file,
since the StatsView source file is quite huge already.

The position of the legend was reset when resizing. This was
OK as long as the legend wasn't movable.
To avoid resetting the position, store the center position
of the legend relatively to the size of the canvas. On
resize restore the center to the same relative size.
To avoid code duplication, move the sanitizing of the
coordinates from the StatsView to the Legend.

The chart items were drawn in order of creation. To control this,
add a notion of Z-value. In contrast to QGraphicsScene, make
this a small integer value.
To controll order of drawing, a plain QSGNode is created for
every possible Z-Value and items are added to these nodes.
Thus, items are rendered by Z-value and if the Z-value is equal
by order of creation.
Likewise split the list of chart-items into Z-values, so that
items can be quickly unregistered: The items that will be
removed individually will usuall be part of Z-levels with only
few items (e.g. legend, infobox). Z-levels with many items
(notably the series) will always be fully rebuilt.

A small step in converting from QGraphicsScene to QQuickItem.
This is the second item to be converted (after the legend)

The series were passed a pointer to the QGraphicsScene to add

Therefore pass it in the constructor. Once everything is

In order not to waste CPU by constantly rerendering the chart,
we must use these weird OpenGL QSGNode things. The interface
is appallingly low-level and unfriendly.
As a first test, try to convert the legend. Create a wrapper
class that represents a rectangular item with a texture
and that will certainly need some (lots of) optimization.
Make sure that all low-level QSG-objects are only accessed
in the rendering thread. This means that the wrapper has
to maintain a notion of "dirtiness" of the state. I.e.
which part of the QSG-objects have to be modified.
From the low-level wrapper derive a class that draws a rounded
rectangle for every resize. The child class of that must then
paint on the rectangle after every resize.
That looks all not very fortunate, but it displays a
legend and will make it possible to move the legend
without and drawing operations, only shifting around
an OpenGL surface.
The render thread goes through all chart-items and
rerenders them if dirty. Currently, on deletion
of these items, this list is not reset. I.e. currently
it is not supported to remove individual items.
Only the full scene can be cleared!

The old code didn't consider that labels can peak out of
horizontal axes if labels are under ticks.
This commit takes this into account. However, it must be
noted that this is only heuristics: Before setting the
size of the axes, the actual minimum and maximum label are
not known, because we round to "nice" numbers. But the
size of the axis can only be set after knowing the overhang,
leading to a circular dependency. Therefore, the code
currently simply uses the minimum and maximum value of
the data, hoping that the "nice" values will not format
to something significantly larger. We could do a multi-pass
scheme, but let's not for now.

It turns out that the wrong base class was used for the chart.
QQuickWidget can only be used on desktop, not in a mobile UI.
Therefore, turn this into a QQuickItem and move the container
QQuickWidget into desktop-only code.
Currently, this code is insane: The chart is rendered onto a
QGraphicsScene (as it was before), which is then rendered into
a QImage, which is transformed into a QSGTexture, which is then
projected onto the device. This is performed on every mouse
move event, since these events in general change the position
of the info-box.
The plan is to slowly convert elements such as the info-box into
QQuickItems. Browsing the QtQuick documentation, this will
not be much fun.
Also note that the rendering currently tears, flickers and has
antialiasing artifacts, most likely owing to integer (QImage)
to floating point (QGraphicsScene, QQuickItem) conversion
problems. The data flow is
QGraphicsScene (float) -> QImage (int) -> QQuickItem (float).

The coordinates of these were calculated when creating the feature.
This is wrong, because the min/max values of the axes can change
on resize to get "nice" number. Therefore, recalculate after resizing.
This means that the general "LineMarker" class has to be split into
two classes, one for regression lines and one for median/mean
markers.

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.
