Upgrade to QWT 6.0.1, but still uses a locally patched copy
since support for 8 axes has not been included, despite it
being a relatively simple patch.
Fixes#634.
Fixes#567.
Aside from just expanding the sidebar to show it, this update
creates a bit more space for the display of best values in
the CP chart controls.
It would be better if the tooltip also showed the date.
Fixes#565.
Very basic start, this will now let you plot
VAM on the CP curve. VAM is a measure of climbing
speed and for comparative purposes should be
normalised to the slope climbed.
In this first pass of implementation the VAM metric
is not normalised in any way. It merely represents
the climbing rate, in meters per hour, that was
sustained over each time interval from 5mins to the
ride duration.
If the ride is undulating then only ascension is
included, any time on the flat or descending is
included but meters climbed will be zero. This is
akin to the way we handle power where we include time
when freewheeling.
More sophistication is needed, especially normalising
the value to a common gradient (e.g. 10%). But this
will prove challenging when VAM is comprised of
undulating elements (i.e. gradient is cumulatively
zero, but could contain segments with steep parts).
It may be more appropriate to only measure VAM for
sustained climbing i.e. ignore ride sections when
descending or on the flat.
More thought needed.
Fixes#414.
The CP window tries to draw the current ride, even if it
has just been deleted (i.e. on delete event it tried to
calculate()) this fixes that.
Other widgets are fine, this is a consequence of trying to
redraw the aggregated curve and current curve when being
notified the ride has been deleted.
There is no need to warn about seasons.xml missing, it
is quite acceptable to have none set. Worse still sending
to the console log is next to useless for users that
don't launch from the command line.
The Skiba and Coggan metrics for xPower and NP
respectively can now be plotted on the CP curve.
There are two issues;
* Downsampling of data to 5s samples skews xPower's EWMA
* Setting scale to start at 30mins breaks the x-axis scale engine
Both issues need fixing, since the first skews xPower upwards and
the second suggests that xPower/NP are meaningful for durations
less than 30 minutes.
Fixes#307.
This patch enables more data series to be plotted on a CP plot.
We can now show curves for heartrate, cadence, speed and torque
as well as the original power and energy.
The CP code is refactored into the plotting functions and a new
RideFileCache that precomputes the mean-max as well as distribution
data (for a later patch to show histograms across date ranges).
The code for computing mean-max values has been re-written and
significantly optimised by;
* computing 1s intervals up to 5mins only
* computing 20s intervals for the remainder of the ride
* downsampling data to 5s samples for longer durations
* using a binary file format (cpx) for faster read/aggregation
* using multiple threads
Testing on an old Athlon dual-core showed an increase in performance
over the old cpi code of approximately x20, but since new data series
are now computed it is only x4 faster. Quad/Octo core systems will
show a greater performance increase though.
A new config pane for defining color preferences for chart
curves, shading, background and grid lines et al. Default values
echo the current hard-coded values.
And pay attention to MainWindow::activeTab, such that only the active
tab redraws itself when changing rides. This change really increases
GC's responsiveness when scrolling through the ride list.
This mode is fun because the "CP Curve" is a straight line,
just like in the model:
work = CP * time + AWC
You can also see that the AWC is the y-intercept.
