Accessible graph line colours
Expanding on this, it would be nice to have colours be consistent across graphs. I'm doing it in a tolerable way (tho it doesn't use the mplstyle) but bazzite is a pinkish colour (#DB61A2) which donesn't feel very bazzitey to me...

Right now colours cycle through some predefined values. Problem is, the colours are assigned in a first come first served way. This means they aren't consistent across graphs.
I'm messing around a bit this is what I've got
We can reuse the preexisting colours but make them consistent
My only issue with this is I don't love Bazzite's colour
also I like the idea of having kinoite-aurora and silverblue-bluefin having similar colours
Like this
But these colours are a bit meh
whatever you think is best, this is awesome thank you for this
Opened a PR
I'm also working on having the legend be nicely sorted but I'm off to sleep now I'm afraid
awesome!
want me to merge this now?
going for it!
Did the legend sorting thing
The code is disgusting tho 💀
Mine, that is
I'll see if I can clean it up a bit otherwise I'll just open a PR since it does work
it's annoying to read but it does make sense
I'm also looking into colours since we should keep colour blindness in mind (also a user mentioned it on discourse)
rirght now i have three options
- current
- current with pinkish bazzite from old palette
- accessible Bokeh palettewhich I sent a preview of yesterday actually
Let me know if yuo have some feedback
The only one that appears to be consistently usable is the last one, which does look a bit more boring in my opinion
but also being a tiny bit boring is totally fine if it makes the graph accessible
For reference, this is the accessible one
Prioritizing accessibility, I have these two options
Bokeh's Light palette
And the same palette with a custom purple, which lookint at this https://davidmathlogic.com/colorblind/#%2377AADD-%2399DDFF-%23EE8866-%23EEDD88-%236A3D9A-%23FFAABB should be good

Sorry for flooding you guys with this stuff lol
no way we've needed this level of expertise!
you're doing a great job!
however you think the graphs should look, go for it!
PR's out for the colours, I'm gonna refine the legend sorting thing as well as look into adding LTS variants
I'm cooking
nice!
I'd love a Bluefin only one for the bluefin docs, with just LTS, GTS, and stable
@tulip🌷 does GTS countme different?
oh i think it countmes as if its the same thing as any other bluefin
maybe we should split that, I'll file an issue for later.
Also Bluefin LTS first had Achillobator as a name, so now I'm counting them together
which makes sense to me
Hm actually I'm afraid differentiating between lts and stable might not work
Imma give it a better look
Non LTS vs LTS is like this
also makes no sense that achillobator would have 1k devices
Yea it looks weird
maybe initial hype?
oh
maybe the arm images?
that too
they count too
I have it in a vm on my mac lol
yeah that would make sense
I was cutting out some stuff earlier
But yea in early february there's like 300 hits for arm achillobator
wow
that's really reassuring actually! cc @tulip🌷
wow?
also yea @tulip🌷 was right, can't tell gts or stable apart from countme
i expected bluefin LTS to be at like 0.1k or something
yeah this bodes well
PR's out
Ah I think I need to change the workflow to explicitly get the new graphs
just saw you run it
what filename do I use?
ublue_lts.svg for this one
then bluefins.svg and auroras.svg?
like this?
I think so
hm maybe it wants the file commited
should I touch 3 empty ones?
probs that would do it
watch out you made bluefin.svg not bluefins
ok got it
running
nice
hm they didn't update
ah
nuts
my bad
all the names are prefixed with 'growth_'
so
growth_bluefins.svg and suchgot it
again that remotes error
ah the workflow file still has the old names
on it
ayy
we got it
DISCO!
one more thing
is there a less puke green version for the LTS?
hahahah
so right now I'm using this palette
which is colorblind friendly
but yeah
blue for bluefin
some of the colours aren't that amazing
and then red for LTS?
Yea I only picked that vile green becasue I wanted them to be unique
but also Bluefin LTS won't be shown alongside say, kinoite
right
ok I'll file the issue for counting GTS
This way bluefin lts has the same colour has aurora tho
nice
that's looking slick
GitHub
Distinguish GTS from stable · Issue #2323 · ublue-os/bluefin
For homebrew and for countme let's split out GTS so we can count it, here's the existing chart. Let's keep stable/latest as just Bluefin but Bluefin GTS for the GTS.
@tulip🌷 should we split out gdx?
If you suppose aurora and bluefin lts won't be in the same graph I'll use that colour since it looks good I think
i dont think its different enough to be split
its a different premise but its mostly the exact same stuff
Stuff like -nvidia and -dx does show up tho
But LTS is always 'generic' I think
IMO having those charted out is useful, even though we wouldn't surface them on the website
I can see us using them every release though, "63% of you are on -dx"
and I think for bazzite doing per-device charts will be killer
