# Fraction of the panel width a plugin is told it has while rendering for
# the ticker, as a percentage. Trimming can only remove blank margins; it
# cannot compact a layout that genuinely spans the display — a five-column
# forecast, a full-width progress bar, a centred stat block with the panel's
# whole width between its elements. Rendering at a narrower size makes the
# plugin choose a tighter layout instead. 100 disables it.
render_width_pct: int = 100
# Minimum blank columns guaranteed between adjacent content, measured from
# actual ink rather than added blindly. A flat additive gap leaves
# card-style content nearly touching when the cards are drawn flush to their
# own edges, while padding out content that already has wide margins.
min_content_separation: int = 24
# Gap between rows contributed by the *same* plugin. separator_width marks
# the handoff from one plugin to the next; applying it between every image
# forced a 32px chasm between each row of a per-row ticker (the F1
# scoreboard renders its own rows 4px apart), which both looked wrong and
# silently inflated the width that plugin occupied.
intra_plugin_gap: int = 8
# Content density
#
# Plugins that render onto a full-display canvas contribute that whole
# canvas to the ticker, blank margins included. On a wide panel that is the
# dominant source of dead air: a plugin drawing 35px of text on a 512px
# canvas otherwise buys 9.5s of black at 50px/s. Trimming reclaims it.

min_plugin_width: int = 8 # Segments narrower than this after trim are dropped
# Columns of blank lead-in before the first item of a cycle. ScrollHelper
# defaults this to a full display width, which reads as the display being
# switched off at the start of every cycle.
lead_in_width: int = 0
# Lock motion to the panel: a whole number of pixels per presented frame,
# each frame held for a whole number of refreshes, with SwapOnVSync as the
# clock (see src/common/scroll_config.py). scroll_speed is snapped to the
# nearest speed the panel can show that way. Off falls back to advancing by
# elapsed time, which drifts against the refresh and judders.
smooth_scroll: bool = True
# The older way of smoothing: advance by elapsed time and blend the two
# neighbouring pixel positions each frame. It looks anti-aliased in the web
# preview, but on the panel the blended columns shimmer (the library's
# brightness curve makes a 50% blend far dimmer than half), text softens,
# and the loop is not tied to the refresh, so it still misses frames.
# Measured on a 512x64 chain at 95Hz: 73-89fps, p99 20-28ms. Takes
# precedence over smooth_scroll's whole-pixel pacing when on.
sub_pixel_blend: bool = False
# Render every plugin's ticker content on the background prefetch thread,
# each on a canvas of its own (DisplayManager.offscreen), instead of
# handing plugins that draw on the display canvas to the render thread one
# at a time. Each of those cost the scroll a 40-600ms pause. False restores
# that path; it is kept for one release in case a plugin misbehaves when
# drawn off the render thread. See docs/OFFSCREEN_RENDERING.md.
offscreen_prefetch: bool = True
# How long another thread may hold the GIL before the render thread's
# request forces it to yield, in ms, while Vegas runs. CPython's default is
# 5ms. Plugin rendering on the prefetch thread and plugin updates hold the
# GIL in Pillow and Python code, and a frame waiting its turn for 5ms at a
# time misses its refresh. 0 leaves the interpreter default alone.
# Experimental. On hdpi it did less than prefetch_gate (0.90% -> 0.78% late
# against 0.60%; see docs/OFFSCREEN_RENDERING.md), so it stays off.
switch_interval_ms: float = 0.0
# Let the prefetch thread run Python only while the render thread is
# blocked waiting for vsync, and park it the rest of the time, so the
# render thread never waits for the GIL when its refresh comes round. Needs
# a binding that releases the GIL in SwapOnVSync; off otherwise. On hdpi
# it cut frames two or more refreshes late eightfold, and late frames
# overall from 0.90% to 0.60%. See src/common/render_gate.py.
prefetch_gate: bool = True
# Keep one continuous strip, extending it with the next group of plugins as
# the scroll approaches the end, instead of composing a fresh strip and
# swapping it in. A swap stops the motion, substitutes every pixel at once
# and restarts with the viewport already full — read as a freeze, a flash
# and a jump. Extending means the next group simply scrolls in from the
# right. Set false to restore the swap behaviour.
continuous_scroll: bool = True
# Extend once the unscrolled remainder falls below this many screen widths.
# Needs to be more than one so the join is prepared before it is on screen.
extend_threshold_screens: float = 2.0
# How many plugins are composed into one scroll cycle. Kept separate from
# buffer_ahead (which is only a prefetch low-water mark) because the two
# were previously the same number: a buffer_ahead of 2 meant just 3 plugins
# per cycle, so a 20-plugin install took seven cycles to come around.
plugins_per_cycle: int = 6
# Minimum run of blank columns that counts as a boundary between items when
# an oversized segment has to be narrowed. Measured on rendered text, the
# gaps between characters are a single column while gaps between items are
# 8px and up, so anything above 1 stops a cut landing inside a word. Cutting
# mid-word orphaned the tail into the next cycle, which showed up as a lone
# letter floating between two unrelated plugins.
min_cut_gap: int = 6
# What to do when a plugin's content exceeds its width budget.
#
# "rotate" — advance a window each cycle so everything is seen eventually.
# Right for interchangeable items: news headlines, odds, stocks.
# "truncate" — always show the start. Right for ordered content, where a
# window into the middle is meaningless: a league table that
# shows ranks 1-6 then resumes at 7 two rotations later reads
# as out of order and out of context.
#
# Override per plugin with vegas_overflow.
overflow_mode: str = "rotate"
# Cap on one plugin's share of a cycle, as a multiple of display width.
# 0 (the default) disables the cap, so every plugin contributes all of its
# content and is always entered at its beginning.
#
# Capping was the default until it proved to cost more than it bought.
# Measured over a 17-plugin fleet on a 512px panel, only four plugins were
# ever wide enough to hit a 3.0 cap; for those four it produced two visible
# faults. Content resumed mid-item on each appearance (a news ticker entered
# at column 6027 of its own strip), and the final window of a rotation was
# whatever happened to be left — 348px of a 1840px stocks ticker, seven
# seconds of panel time. Both read as the display being broken rather than
# as deferral working.
#
# A wide plugin does hold the panel for a long time uncapped: set the cap
# per plugin with vegas_max_width_screens where that matters, rather than
# globally where it mostly hurts plugins that were never the problem.

# refuses to run the ticker while any plugin reports live priority, and you
# get the full-screen scoreboard instead. Set live_in_ticker to keep the
# marquee running and let live content take extra turns within it.
#
# The rotation is otherwise a strict round robin -- every plugin appears
# exactly once per cycle -- so with a dozen plugins enabled a live score
# comes round once a lap and can be minutes old on screen. Weighting lets a
# plugin claim several slots per cycle instead.

# games still occupies one slot at a time, and rotates its own games within
