Collapse an axis's layout slot when its text is switched off - #522
sselvakumaran wants to merge 19 commits into
Conversation
`xy.x_axis(show=False)` painted a transparent axis and kept its gutter, so a chart with both axes off sat 25 px from the container edge instead of reaching it, and a hidden right-side axis still reserved a flat 54 px. There was no way to get the documented sparkline: `padding=0` does not override a measured gutter and negative padding is rejected. The visibility shorthands compile to transparent paints rather than to a flag, so layout has to ask the paint whether any text will be seen. The SVG and PNG exporters already did — `_axis_text_paint_visible`, whose docstring names the edge-to-edge sparkline as its reason — and the browser did not, so the same chart exported flush (`x=0 width=1088`) and rendered inset (`left=25.5 width=1062.5`). That divergence is the bug. `ChartView` now mirrors that helper for the top, bottom and right gutters and for the measured left one, with the axis title answering to its own paint so `show=False, grid=True` keeps the grid and neither text. The right side needed the exporters too: their gutter was gated on the tick label strategy alone, so fixing only the client would have swapped one divergence for another. Its flat 42/54 width is unchanged and stays deliberate (a right title is pinned plot-relative); only whether it is reserved at all now follows the paint, as on the left. Measured in headless Chromium at a 1088 px container: both axes off 25.5/1062.5 -> 0/1088; right-side axis off 0/1034 -> 0/1088; `show=False, grid=True` 0/1088; ordinary axes unchanged at 25.5/1062.5.

…side Review found that gating the gutter on the tick-label paint alone is too coarse: tick labels and the axis title are separate paints, so an opaque title over transparent ticks was drawn into a band that no longer existed. Eligibility now means visible tick labels OR a visible title, in the client and in the exporter's right-side reservation. The left gutter already measured the two separately; this is the same rule for the sides that reserve a flat or measured band instead. Confirmed against the exporter: a right-side axis with a hidden tick scale and an opaque title keeps its 54 px in both renderers again. The parity test compared only the plot's x and width, so a gutter collapsing on one axis and not the other could pass. It reads all four coordinates now and sweeps five axis configurations across both renderers. One divergence is documented rather than pinned, because it predates this change and is unaffected by it: with tick labels off and an opaque title, the exporter reserves a bottom band for that title while the browser measures its bottom room from the tick labels alone and reserves none. Verified identical on `main`. It is a title-measurement gap on the x axis rather than gutter eligibility, so it belongs to its own change. Also adds the browser capture of a full-width sparkline, before and after.

Gutter eligibility now goes through one rule per renderer, mirrored:
_axisGutterVisible / _axis_gutter_visible, both built on a new
_axisTitleVisible / _axis_title_visible. Four things it gets right that
the previous pair did not, each measured at width=1088, height=200,
padding=(0,0,0,0), browser then SVG:
- tick_label_strategy="none" suppresses the axis title as well as the
labels, in both renderers, so crediting a title there reserved a band
nothing was drawn into: a hidden right axis with a title sat at 1034
in the browser and 1088 in the export, now 1088 in both.
- The title is painted from label_color alone, with no tick_color
fallback anywhere. Blanking only the tick paints dropped the gutter
out from under a title still being drawn: 1088/1088, now 1034/1034.
- "off" draws no tick label any more than "none" does, but only "none"
was excluded, so an axis switched off through the strategy kept a
25.5 px left inset the exporter had already dropped.
- An inside_* title is drawn over the plot and claims nothing.
_xAxisRoom measured invisible text back into the bottom margin, which
takes the measured room directly rather than the gated band, so
show=False plus an angle still cost 41.7 px of plot height that the
exporter kept. It now skips text it will not draw, on both counts.
Five regression tests, each verified to fail without the change, and the
parity sweep now compares all four coordinates rather than x and width.
The news fragment and the styling spec no longer claim edge-to-edge from
show=False alone: authored padding is a floor the switches never lower,
and with no padding the label-aware defaults still apply (62, 10, 1012,
148 in both renderers).

`_xAxisRoom` re-tested the strategy after the eligibility check and returned zero for `"none"` and `"off"` alike, so an `"off"` axis — which keeps its title, unlike `"none"` — had the title's room dropped with the labels'. The exporter has always measured it (`_x_tick_label_room` returns `title_room` for exactly that case). The strategy is already folded into `labelsOnSide` through `_axisTickLabelsVisible`, so the guard only ever reached titles. Removing it alone would have swung the other way: with no tick labels to measure, the flat-band shortcut is keyed on `strategy === "auto"`, so an `"off"` axis skipped it and reserved a tick offset for rows that do not exist. The shortcut now applies whenever the axis draws no tick label at all, which is the same reason `auto` qualifies. At width=1088, height=200, padding=(0,0,0,0), browser then SVG: a wrapped title on an `"off"` axis was `200` / `144.8` and is `165.6` / `144.8`; an `"off"` axis with `tick_label_angle=45` and no title stays `200` / `200`. A one-line title is `200` in the browser either way, which is the pre-existing x-title band gap the test docstring documents — identical for `auto`, and identical on `main`.
`_colorbar_right_axis_room` carried its own spelling of the predicate — `_axis_tick_label_strategy(axis) != "none"`, with no paint check at all — so a right axis whose gutter layout had just collapsed still stepped the vertical colorbar 54 px outward, leaving the bar floating past a plot that reaches the canvas edge. It now calls `_axis_gutter_visible`, which is the whole point of having that helper. The browser never had the divergence: `_positionColorbar` reuses the one `_rightAxisRoom` computed in `_layout`.

its title gutters from `axis.label` alone, so it kept reserving for text
the cartesian paths had just stopped reserving for — and in two cases the
two renderers disagreed about the same chart, which is the divergence
this branch exists to close. At 420x420, browser then SVG:
- `theta_axis(show=False)` and `tick_label_strategy="off"` both kept the
full disc inset, `(30, 36, 360, 354)`, where `"none"` alone reclaimed
it. All three now give `(8, 6, 404, 408)`.
- A radial title hidden by `show=False` kept the left gutter in the
browser (`x 46`) that the exporter had already dropped (`x 30`). Both
now reclaim it.
- An `inside_center` radial title, drawn over the disc, reserved a left
gutter in both. Neither does now.
- A theta title hidden by `show=False` held the bottom band in the
browser (`h 348` against the exporter's `354`). Both reclaim it.
`labels_hidden` also went through a raw `.get("tick_label_strategy")`,
which does not normalize dashes; it now shares `_axis_tick_labels_visible`
with `_axis_gutter_visible`, the same way the client shares
`_axisTickLabelsVisible`.
`test_hiding_angular_labels_keeps_the_legend_gutter` pins the client's
spelling of that flag; its behavioral assertions were unaffected, and the
source assertion is updated to the helper.

Two findings, and the second is the gap this branch had been documenting as known rather than fixing. `_axis_gutter_visible` asks about TEXT, but tick marks are chrome of their own: they come from `tick_length` and answer to no text paint. An axis drawing only marks was ruled out of the gutter it still draws into, so at 560x300 with `tick_label_strategy="off"` and `tick_length=40` the plot ran to 442 and the marks to 482, over a colorbar at 466. Drawing outward marks is now a third way to claim the band; the core default `tick_length` of 0 and the `ticks=False` sentinel both reach nothing, so the sparkline is untouched. `_xAxisRoom` measured only a title's overflow past one line, so an ordinary one-line title reserved nothing and was drawn at `p.y + p.h + 24` — past the canvas edge wherever the authored padding was smaller than the band. The title's room is now measured from where it is drawn (`24`/`34` from `_drawAxisChrome`, plus the 4 px edge pad `_x_axis_title_room` already uses) and taken as a max against the tick-label band, since both start at the plot edge. At 1088x200 with zero padding, browser then SVG: a plain `x_axis(label="Time")` was `200` / `159.2` and is `157.6` / `159.2`; a wrapped title was `165.6` / `144.8` and is `143.2` / `144.8`. Not specific to any visibility switch, and identical on `main`, which is why the fix is not either. The measured band only wins above the existing floor — ~42 px for a one-line 12 px title against a 62 px default bottom margin — so across the suite it moved exactly one test: the ordering assertion in `test_off_does_not_zero_the_title_it_still_draws`, which no longer holds now that the title band dominates both sides of it. That test asserts renderer parity instead, titled axes join the parity sweep, and its docstring no longer records a known gap. Also from review: the parity assertions share one `_assert_parity` helper at the file's existing 8 px tolerance, where the polar ones had used `==` and held only on the helper's rounding; and the polar spec and the news fragment no longer overstate what a hidden axis gives back.

`Test (Rust + Python + JS)` went red on c1e562b: `render_smoke_nonumpy.py` asserts `canvas.width/height === plot.w/h * dpr`, and `canvas.width` is an integer attribute that truncates what it is assigned. Measuring a title made the bottom band fractional for any ordinary titled axis — the smoke chart's `x_axis.label` of "i" gives 4 + 24 + 14.4 = 42.4 — so the canvas came out a pixel short of the rect it covers. The band is rounded up, which keeps it whole without ever reserving less than the text needs. That smoke is not part of pytest, which is why the suite stayed green; it is now in the pre-push set. greptile then found the top side reserving a flat 34 px. The direction of the error was the opposite of the report — the browser reserved MORE, not less — but the cause was real: `labelExtra` added a title's extra lines outward on both sides, while both renderers place an x title from its line-box top, so extra lines grow toward the plot above and away from it below. `_x_axis_title_room` adds `(line_count - 1) * line_step` on the bottom branch alone for that reason. The title's outward need is now `titleRoom` on its own and `labelExtra` is gone; the tick branch measures tick labels only, which is all it was ever for. At 1088x200, zero padding, browser then SVG, worst of the four coordinates: top, 3 lines at 12 px 53.0 / 39.4 -> 38.0 / 39.4 (13.6 -> 1.4) top, 3 lines at 24 px 82.0 / 40.8 -> 38.0 / 40.8 (41.2 -> 2.8) top, 1 line at 28 px 38.0 / 41.3 unchanged (3.3) bottom, 3 lines 24 px 85.0 / 88.7 unchanged (3.7) Four more cases in the title parity test cover the top side wrapped, large, and both; each fails on c1e562b.

`_axis_outward_tick_room` read `tick_length` and stopped there, so an axis reserved a gutter for marks it does not draw. Both renderers stroke a tick mark with `tick_color`, and `tick_label_strategy="none"` drops the tick values and the marks with them. Counting the lines a right axis emits with `tick_length=40, tick_width=2`: plain 3 lines, 3 with opaque stroke tick_label_strategy="off" 3 lines, 3 opaque -> keeps its band tick_color="#00000000" 3 lines, 0 opaque -> kept a band for nothing tick_label_strategy="none" 0 lines -> kept a band for nothing Both now collapse. `"off"` is unaffected, which is the case the outward-tick rule was added for.

Four cubic findings on the outward-tick rule and the title band, each with browser/export parity measured at 1088x200, zero padding. - `tick_sides` decides which gutter a mark is drawn into, so a right-side axis given `tick_sides: ["left"]` was reserving a right band nothing is painted in. The predicate takes the side its caller is reserving; the tick-label and title terms beside it were already filtered by side at their own call sites. That axis now reserves the LEFT (x 44) and leaves the right edge flush, in both renderers. - `_yAxisLeftRoom` and `_y_axis_left_room` returned zero when labels and title were both hidden, so an axis whose only chrome is its tick marks had them painted left of `plot.x` and clipped. That room is measured rather than a flat band, so gutter eligibility alone never reached it: 44 / 44 now, 0 / 0 before. - `tick_width: 0` was read as no mark, but `tickParts` clamps a drawn mark's width to 0.5 and still paints a hairline. Only the LENGTH gates the room now, which leaves the `ticks=False`/`show=False` sentinel (`tick_length: 0, tick_width: 0`) reaching nothing exactly as before. - `_xAxisRoom` clamped a negative `label_offset` to zero while `_axisLabelCss` applies it signed and `_x_axis_title_room` adds it signed, so a title pulled toward the plot reserved room it does not need. Plot height at offset -10 / 0 / +10 is now 166 / 157 / 147 against the exporter's 169.2 / 159.2 / 149.2; it was 157 for all three. Also from review: `_WRAPPED_TITLE` moved above its first use, the colorbar chart extracted to one `_colorbar_bar` helper both tests read, a comment that described `show=False` above an assertion that passed `show=True` replaced with the case it names, and the polar spec rewrapped.
`Python 3.11 floor` failed on 765f126 and again on ce0baed, and it was mine after all. I had checked the glhost probe's 62x82 chart, found its plot rect byte-identical to main's, and was heading toward "not this PR's" — but the probe renders three sizes, and the 70x170 one moved: browser plot height 117.8 -> 117.0. At 70 px wide the numeric ticks collide into a rotated layout, so that chart takes the MEASURED x-axis band, which has always been fractional; my ceil rounded it. The shared GL host hashes those three presentations against each other, so a 0.8 px shift in one of them is a real signal, not a baseline drift. The ceil exists only to keep the canvas, sized `plot.h * dpr` into an integer attribute, covering the rect — and only the title band I introduced made an ordinary chart fractional. It now rounds that term alone. All three glhost rects are byte-identical to main again ((18, 4, 40, 40), (25.5, 4, 120.5, 82), (25.5, 4, 40.5, 117.8)), the render smoke still passes, and the title parity cases are unchanged: top one-line 38.0 / 39.4, top three-line 24 px 38.0 / 40.8, bottom three-line 24 px 85.0 / 88.7.

greptile and cubic reached opposite conclusions about `tick_width: 0`, and both were reading the code correctly — the renderers disagreed. The browser's `tickParts` clamped to `Math.max(0.5, width)` and painted a hairline; the SVG exporter emitted `stroke-width="0"` and the raster one skips a non-positive width, so neither drew anything. Whichever way the gutter answered, one renderer was wrong. The browser now treats an authored zero as zero. The 0.5 floor is for sub-pixel widths at low dpr, not a way to resurrect a mark the author switched off, so it applies only above zero and `tickParts` returns no reach at all. The room follows, and both renderers are flush again. Two more from CodeRabbit, both real: - Minor ticks carry their own length, width and direction under `minor_style` and are drawn by the same loop, so the gutter needs the larger of the two tiers. An axis with no major ticks and a 50 px minor tier reserved nothing; it now measures 54 in both renderers. - `tick_sides` can name a side the labels and the axis itself do not use, and the four gutter selectors only ever consulted those two. An x axis with `side="bottom"` and `tick_sides: ["top"]` reserved no top band at all in either renderer. It now reserves 50.2 / 44.0, both past the 40 px the marks reach; the flat 26/32 px default never was. Measured at 1088x200, zero padding, browser then SVG: zero-width ticks 1088 / 1088 (was 1044 / 1044) normal ticks 1044 / 1044 unchanged minor-only ticks 1034 / 1034 (was 1088 / 1088) x ticks on top only y 50.2 / 44.0 (was y 32.0 / 0.0) The three glhost probe rects stay byte-identical to main, so 72c62bb's CI fix is not disturbed.

`_axis_outward_tick_room` filters `tick_sides` against the sides the axis's dimension can use, and it read that dimension from the axis's own `id`. Everywhere else in the exporter the caller supplies it (`is_x=` at every `_axis_tick_label_sides` call site) because the caller already knows it from the loop key, and `_axes_by_id` exists precisely to accept older payloads whose axis dicts carry no `id`. One of those defaulted to `x`: the allowed sides became bottom/top, and a y axis drawing 8 px of marks answered 0 px for both of its own gutters. The queried side settles it without consulting the `id` at all -- a left/right query is about a y axis however the spec is shaped. The browser mirror takes the same hint, so the two keep answering the same question.
c951089 added the minor tier to the outward-tick room as `max(major, minor)` under the major tier's paint and sides. greptile and cubic both caught it, and reading the two draw loops they are right three times over -- almost nothing about the tiers is shared: major minor drawn for the computed ticks `minor_tick_values` only drawn on every `tick_sides` `side` alone painted from `style.tick_color` `minor_style.tick_color` Both renderers agree on all three (`minorTicks`/`minorSide`/`tickParts` in the client, `minor_axis_ticks` and the `xmstyle` loop in the exporter), so one predicate over the pair was wrong whichever way it answered. The left gutter of a y axis, before then after: minor values + 50 px minor tier 50 -> 50 positive control minor_style, no minor_tick_values 50 -> 0 phantom band minor_tick_values=[] 50 -> 0 phantom band major tick_color blank, minor drawn 0 -> 50 marks were clipped minor tick_color blank 50 -> 0 phantom band tick_sides=[right], minor on left 0 -> 50 marks were clipped (and 50 -> 0 on the right) Worth naming plainly: the middle rows are the bug this PR exists to fix, which c951089 reintroduced for any axis carrying a styled minor tier. The test I added with it asserted one of them -- it reserved 54 px for marks no renderer emits -- so it passed while pinning the wrong answer. It now covers all six cases, and five of them fail on 13c7dd8. The tiers are measured separately, each answering its own values, paint and side, in both renderers. Also recorded in spec/api/styling.md, which had the outward-tick rule but not the split.

greptile, on aaf39b6: the minor-tier room was measured for every axis, but only the primary x and y axes draw minor marks. The client takes its minor positions from `minorTicks(xAxis, "x")` / `minorTicks(yAxis, "y")` alone, the exporter from `xmt`/`ymt`; the named-axis loops draw the major tier and stop. So a named axis reserved a band for marks no renderer emits -- the phantom gutter this PR exists to remove, one axis kind over. At 1088x200, zero padding, right gutter and minor lines actually drawn: y minor values + 50 px tier 3 lines, 54 px unchanged y2 minor values + 50 px tier 0 lines, 54 -> 0 y2 major 50 px tier 3 lines, 54 px unchanged The last row is the reason this is not simply "named axes reserve less": extra axes do draw their major marks, with their own style and their own `tick_sides`, and that room stays. Which axis it is comes from the caller, not from the dict: the exporter's call sites hold the `_axes_by_id` key that settles it, while an older payload's axis dict can arrive with no `id` at all -- the same trap 13c7dd8 removed from the `side` argument. `_axis_gutter_visible` and `_x_tick_label_room` thread it through, and `minor_tier` is keyword-only with no default so a new call site has to answer. The client reads `axis.id` instead, which it may because `_normalizeAxes` stamps every axis's id from its map key; nothing normalizes a spec on the Python side. Also in spec/api/styling.md, beside the rest of the tier split.
cubic: the `> 50` assertions repeated `long_minor["tick_length"]` as a literal and depended on the 4 px `_AXIS_TEXT_EDGE_PAD` being added on top to clear it, so changing the pad would have turned a threshold that reads as "more than the marks reach" into a boundary case. They now read the length from the style they configure, as the assertions around them do.

CodeRabbit, on fb8e445. Outward tick marks are a third reason for an axis to keep its band, so `_xAxisRoom` now reaches the room expression with `labelsOnSide` false. The tick-label term does not fall to zero when it does: `items` is empty, so `rows` and `extent` are 0, but the term is `4 + offset` -- and `offset` is measured from the OUTWARD END of the tick mark, matplotlib's rule and the exporter's. So the browser reserved a whole label's clearance past marks that have no label, while `_x_tick_label_room` took `4 + tick_room` and stopped. x band height at 1088x200, zero padding, browser then SVG: tick_length 5 178.2 / 191.0 -> 191.0 / 191.0 tick_length 10 173.2 / 186.0 -> 186.0 / 186.0 tick_length 40 143.2 / 156.0 -> 156.0 / 156.0 A flat 12.8 px apart at every length -- the tick padding plus the font's descent -- and past the 8 px the parity sweep allows. On main both renderers reserve nothing and agree, so this was mine, introduced with the outward-tick rule in 2bc8b0d. It went unseen because every other outward-tick assertion measures a y axis's RIGHT gutter; none measured the x band with labels off. The new test does, at three lengths, and asserts the exact band rather than the tolerance: both renderers give 4 + length and nothing more. Also from the same review: `_axisTickSides` fell back to `allowed[0]` whenever the caller supplied the dimension, so layout and the draw loop disagreed about an axis that authors no `side` -- a `y2` draws its marks on the right (`_axisDefaultSide`) while layout reserved the left. Every spec the API emits carries an explicit `side`, so it was not reachable, but it is the same latent split as the `id`-derived dimension and the minor tier. The id now decides in both paths; `allowed[0]` remains for an axis with no id to imply one.

padding=0does not override a measured gutter, and negative padding raisespadding[3] must be non-negative.What it actually was
Not a missing feature — a divergence between the renderers. The visibility shorthands compile to transparent paints rather than to a flag, so layout has to ask the paint whether any text will be seen. The static exporters already do, and say why:
The browser never asked, so the same chart exported flush and rendered inset.
The fix
One rule, mirrored: an axis reserves the room for what it actually draws, and nothing for what it doesn't. Three questions, one helper each, on both sides:
_axisTickLabelsVisible/_axis_tick_labels_visible— a paint that shows ink, and a strategy that draws a label."none"and"off"both draw none, as the exporter's_axis_tick_label_roomalready had it._axisTitleVisible/_axis_title_visible— the title answers tolabel_coloralone (notick_colorfallback; neither renderer paints it from that key), is suppressed entirely bytick_label_strategy="none"but not by"off", and aninside_*title is drawn over the plot and claims nothing._axisOutwardTickRoom/_axis_outward_tick_room— tick marks are chrome of their own and answer to no text paint at all, so an axis whose labels are off while itstick_lengthstill draws marks keeps its band for them. They do answer totick_colorand totick_label_strategy="none", and an authoredtick_width: 0draws nothing in any renderer — the browser's0.5floor is for sub-pixel widths, not a way to resurrect a mark the author switched off. An axis kept in the band by its marks alone reserves only those: the tick-label term is gated on a label actually being drawn there, since its offset is measured from the outward end of the mark and would otherwise reserve a whole label's clearance past marks that have no label.The two tick tiers are measured apart, because they are drawn apart. Almost nothing about them is shared:
minor_tick_valuesonlytick_sidessidealonestyle.tick_colorminor_style.tick_colorBoth renderers agree on every row (
minorTicks/minorSide/tickPartsin the client,minor_axis_ticksand thexmstyleloop in the exporter), so one predicate over the pair was wrong whichever way it answered: aminor_stylewith no values, or a named axis carrying one, reserved a band no renderer paints, while a minor tier on an axis whosetick_sidespoint elsewhere had its marks clipped. Which axis has a minor tier comes from the caller rather than from the dict — the exporter's call sites hold the_axes_by_idkey, and an older payload's axis dict can arrive with noidat all._axisGutterVisible/_axis_gutter_visibleis their disjunction, and every place that reserves room now reads those helpers rather than its own spelling:_yAxisLeftRoommeasures labels and title against their own paints._xAxisRoomskips text it will not draw. That mattered beyond eligibility:marginBottomtakes the measured room rather than the gated band, so a rotated, wrapped or collision-stacked label reintroduced a gutter that had just been collapsed. The tick-label strategy now decides tick-label room only, and the title's band is measured from where the title is actually drawn instead of only its overflow past one line._colorbar_right_axis_roomasked with a third spelling (!= "none", no paint check), so a vertical colorbar stepped 54 px over a gutter layout had collapsed. The browser never had this:_positionColorbarreuses the one_rightAxisRoomfrom_layout.axis.labelalone — in two cases with the renderers disagreeing.The right side needed the exporter too: its gutter was gated on the tick-label strategy alone, so fixing only the client would have swapped one divergence for another. Its flat 42/54 width is unchanged and stays deliberate — a right title is pinned plot-relative, and
spec/api/styling.mdrecords why — but whether it is reserved at all now follows what is drawn, as on the left.Measured, in the real client
