bytemuck is nice, but it also makes compiling egui from scratch take ~twice as long (because of the syn crate). I'd rather keep the number of required dependencies low, so let's make bytemuck opt-in.
I think it's good to prefix these with #[cfg(feature = "bytemuck")]

Ah good point. I removed the dependency again. I also removed PlotPoints::Borrowed for now because I couldn't find a way to to make it work with arbitrary lifetimes. Once somebody finds a way to get that working, it will make sense to add bytemuck again.

Is .collect::<Vec<_>>() really more ergonomic than PlotPoints::from_iter(…) ?

Good idea, I implemented FromIterator for PlotPoints and used this in the examples.

I like Value. The idea is that you have some metric In other words we have screen-space, plot-space, and value-space. but value-space is plot-space now. That could be misunderstood |
|
There are only two coordinate systems though, afaict: the normal screen-space point-based coordinate system of egui/epaint, and the coordinate system of the data in the plot. The reason I like "PlotPoint" is that it is descriptive (a point in plot space). "Value", on the other hand, is about as vague as it gets (rivaled only by "Data" and "Thing"). After all, what variable is not a value? |
Improves the ergonomics of creating plot items. I also tried to address emilk/egui_plot#18 by allowing the user to pass borrowed data. I however couldn't find a way to do this for non-
staticlife times. Maybe someone can find a way to add this as well.This adds
bytemuckas a dependency for theeguicrate but I figured it's okay since all integrations have it as a dependency anyway. I can remove it again otherwise.
