-- UTILITY FUNCTIONS

"#396","#ff3","#06c","#963","#c9c","#9c6","#c63","#c96","#999","#c03","#393","#939","#996","#f69"}
-- The default width of annotations (in em)
local defaultAW = 8
-- Previous version default width (in em)
local oldDefaultAW = 7
-- Function to turn blank arguments back into nil
-- Parameters:
-- s = a string argument
-- Returns
-- if s is empty, turn back into nil (considered false by Lua)
local function ignoreBlank(s)
if s == "" then
return nil
end
return s
end
-- Function to suppress incorrect CSS values
-- Parameters:
-- val = dimensional value
-- unit = unit of value
-- nonneg = [bool] value needs to be non-negative
-- formatstr = optional format string
-- Returns:
-- correct string for html, or nil if val is negative

-- function to scan argument list for pattern
-- Parameters:
-- args = an argument dict that will be scanned for one or more patterns
-- patterns = a list of Lua string patters to scan for
-- other = a list of other argument specification lists
-- each element o corresponds to a new argument to produce in the results
-- o[1] = key in new argument list
-- o[2] = prefix of old argument
-- o[3] = suffix of old argument
-- Returns:
-- new argument list that matches patterns specified, with new key names
--
-- This function makes the Lua module scalable, by specifying a list of string patterns that
-- contain relevant arguments for a single graphical element, e.g., "period(%d+)". These
-- patterns should have exactly one capture that returns a number.
--
-- When such a pattern is detected, the number is extracted and then other arguments
-- with the same number is searched for. Thus, if "period57" is detected, other relevant
-- arguments like "period57-text" are searched for and, if non-empty, are copied to the
-- output list with a new argument key. Thus, there is {"text","period","-text"}, and
-- "period(%d+)" detects period57, the code will look for "period57-text" in the input
-- and copy it's value to "text" on the output.
--
-- This function thus pulls all relevant arguments for a single graphical item out, and
-- makes an argument list to call a function to produce a single element (such as a bar or note)

local result = {}
for _, p in pairs(patterns) do
for k, v in pairs(args) do

-- if there is a matching argument, and it's not blank
-- and we haven't handled that match yet, then find other
-- arguments and copy them into output arg list.
-- We have to handle blank arguments for backward compatibility with the template
-- we check for an existing output with item m to save time
if m and v ~= "" and not result[m] then
local singleResult = {}
for _, o in ipairs(other) do
local foundVal = args[(o[2] or "")..m..(o[3] or "")]
if foundVal then
singleResult[o[1]] = foundVal
end
end
-- A hack: for any argument number m, there is a magic list of default
-- colors. We copy that default color for m into the new argument list, in
-- case it's useful. After this, m is discarded
singleResult.defaultColor = defaultColor[m]
result[m] = singleResult
end
end
end
-- Squeeze out all skipped values. Thus, continguous argument numbers are not
-- required: the module can get called with bar3, bar17, bar59 and it will only produce
-- three bars, in numerical order that they were called (3, 17, 59)

-- Parameters:
-- p1, p2 = lower and upper bounds of timescale

-- The round value (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0) is selected based on minimum log

<br>Comments, enclosed in <code><!-</code><code>- -</code><code>-></code>, should be removed.
Remember:
* You must use <code>{</code><code>{!}</code><code>}</code> wherever you want a {{!}} to be
: rendered in the timeline
* Large borders will displace bars in many browsers
* Text should not be wider than its containing bar,
: as this may cause compatibility issues
* Units default to [[em (typography){{!}}em]], the height and width of an 'M'.
