- demo_oscilloscope_pipeline.py: Switches between text mode and Pygame+PIL mode
- 15 FPS frame rate for smooth viewing
- Mode switches every 15 seconds automatically
- Pygame renderer with waveform visualization
- PIL converts Pygame output to ANSI for terminal display
- Uses fonts/Pixel_Sparta.otf for font rendering
Usage:
uv run python scripts/demo_oscilloscope_pipeline.py --lfo --modulate
Pipeline:
Text Mode (15s) → Pygame+PIL to ANSI (15s) → Repeat
Related to #46
- demo_oscilloscope_mod.py: 15 FPS for smooth human viewing
- Uses cursor positioning instead of full clear to reduce flicker
- ModulatedOscillator class for LFO modulation chain
- Shows both modulator and modulated waveforms
- Supports modulation depth and frequency control
Usage:
# Simple LFO (slow, smooth)
uv run python scripts/demo_oscilloscope_mod.py --lfo
# LFO modulation chain: modulator modulates main oscillator
uv run python scripts/demo_oscilloscope_mod.py --modulate --lfo --mod-depth 0.3
# Square wave modulation
uv run python scripts/demo_oscilloscope_mod.py --modulate --lfo --mod-waveform square
Related to #46
- Add --lfo flag for slow modulation (0.5Hz)
- Add --fast-lfo flag for rhythmic modulation (5Hz)
- Display frequency type (LFO/Audio) in output
- More intuitive LFO usage for modulation applications
Usage:
uv run python scripts/demo_oscilloscope.py --lfo --waveform sine
uv run python scripts/demo_oscilloscope.py --fast-lfo --waveform triangle
- demo_oscilloscope.py: Real-time oscilloscope display with continuous trace
- Shows waveform scrolling across the screen at correct time rate
- Supports all waveforms: sine, square, sawtooth, triangle, noise
- Frequency-based scrolling speed
- Single continuous trace instead of multiple copies
Related to #46
- Implements pipeline hot-rebuild with state preservation (issue #43)
- Adds auto-injection of MVP stages for missing capabilities
- Adds radial camera mode for polar coordinate scanning
- Adds afterimage and motionblur effects using framebuffer history
- Adds comprehensive acceptance tests for camera modes and pipeline rebuild
- Updates presets.toml with new effect configurations
Related to: #35 (Pipeline Mutation API epic)
Closes: #43, #44, #45
- Fixes issue #45: Add state property to EffectContext for motionblur/afterimage effects
- Fixes issue #44: Reset camera bounce direction state in reset() method
- Fixes issue #43: Implement pipeline hot-rebuild with state preservation
- Adds radial camera mode for polar coordinate scanning
- Adds afterimage and motionblur effects
- Adds acceptance tests for camera and pipeline rebuild
Closes#43, #44, #45
- Add save_state/restore_state methods to CameraStage
- Add save_state/restore_state methods to DisplayStage
- Extend Pipeline._copy_stage_state() to preserve camera/display state
- Add save_state/restore_state methods to UIPanel for UI state preservation
- Update pipeline_runner to preserve UI state across preset changes
Camera state preserved:
- Position (x, y)
- Mode (feed, scroll, horizontal, etc.)
- Speed, zoom, canvas dimensions
- Internal timing state
Display state preserved:
- Initialization status
- Dimensions
- Reuse flag for display reinitialization
UI Panel state preserved:
- Stage enabled/disabled status
- Parameter values
- Selected stage and focused parameter
- Scroll position
This enables manual/event-driven rebuilds when inlet-outlet connections change,
while preserving all relevant state across pipeline mutations.
- Replace estimate_block_height (PIL-based) with estimate_simple_height (word wrap)
- Update viewport filter tests to match new height-based filtering (~4 items vs 24)
- Fix CI task duplication in mise.toml (remove redundant depends)
Closes#38Closes#36
- Detect if font lacks box-drawing glyphs by testing rendering
- Use pygame.graphics to draw border when text glyphs unavailable
- Adjust content offset to avoid overlapping border
- Ensures border always visible regardless of font support
This improves compatibility across platforms and font configurations.
- Add entropy field to EffectConfig (0.0 = calm, 1.0 = chaotic)
- Provide compute_entropy() method in EffectContext for dynamic scoring
- Update Fade, Firehose, Glitch, Noise plugin defaults with entropy values
- Enables finer control: intensity (strength) vs entropy (randomness)
This separates deterministic effect strength from probabilistic chaos, allowing more expressive control in UI panel and presets.
Fixes#32
- Add run_pipeline_mode_direct() for constructing pipelines from CLI flags
- Add engine/pipeline/validation.py with validate_pipeline_config() and MVP rules
- Add fixtures system: engine/fixtures/headlines.json for cached test data
- Enhance fetch.py to use fixtures cache path
- Support fixture source in run_pipeline_mode()
- Add --pipeline-* CLI flags: source, effects, camera, display, UI, border
- Integrate UIPanel: raw mode, preset picker, event callbacks, param adjustment
- Add UI_PRESET support in app and hot-rebuild pipeline on preset change
- Add test UIPanel rendering and interaction tests
This provides a flexible pipeline construction interface with validation and interactive control.
Fixes#29, #30, #31
- params.py: border field now accepts bool | BorderMode
- presets.py: add UI_PRESET with BorderMode.UI, remove SIXEL_PRESET
