louisnw 3a7832e0d4 - Moved ChartAsync’s methods into the Chart object.
- Removed ChartAsync.
- Added the `show_async` method to `Chart`.
- Refactored how the TopBar is used. The docs explain this in detail, but a basic rundown is:
    - `corner_text` and `create_switcher` are no longer methods. The `topbar` attribute of `chart` should be used instead.
    - switchers and textboxes, now created with `chart.topbar.textbox` and `chart.topbar.switcher` require a name to be passed to them, which is used to access its instance (e.g `chart.topbar[‘timeframe’]`)
    - If you have any questions about these changes, or potential enhancements, feel free to raise an issue and I will get back to you ASAP :)

- PtQt and Wx can now use either synchronous or asynchronous callback functions

- BETA: Support for Jupyter Notebooks

- Fixed a bug causing the ‘date’ column of DataFrames passed to `set`, `update`, and `update_from_tick` to be modified.

lightweight-charts-python aims to provide a simple and pythonic way to access and implement [TradingView's Lightweight Charts](https://www.tradingview.com/lightweight-charts/).
</div>
## Installation
```
pip install lightweight-charts
```
* White screen? Having issues with pywebview? Click [here](https://github.com/louisnw01/lightweight-charts-python/issues?q=label%3A%22pywebview+issue%22+).
___
## Features
1. Simple and easy to use.
2. Blocking or non-blocking GUI.
3. Streamlined for live data, with methods for updating directly from tick data.
4. Supports:
* PyQt
* wxPython
* Streamlit
* asyncio
* Jupyter Notebooks using the [JupyterChart](https://lightweight-charts-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs.html#jupyterchart)
5. [Callbacks](https://lightweight-charts-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs.html#callbacks) allowing for timeframe (1min, 5min, 30min etc.) selectors, searching, and more.
6. Multi-Pane Charts using the `SubChart` ([examples](https://lightweight-charts-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs.html#subchart)).
___
### 1. Display data from a csv:
```python
import pandas as pd
from lightweight_charts import Chart
if __name__ == '__main__':
chart = Chart()
# Columns: | time | open | high | low | close | volume (if volume is enabled) |
df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv')
chart.set(df)
chart.show(block=True)
```
![setting_data image](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/louisnw01/lightweight-charts-python/main/examples/1_setting_data/setting_data.png)
___
### 2. Updating bars in real-time:
```python
import pandas as pd
from time import sleep
from lightweight_charts import Chart
if __name__ == '__main__':
chart = Chart()
df1 = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv')
df2 = pd.read_csv('next_ohlcv.csv')
chart.set(df1)
chart.show()
last_close = df1.iloc[-1]
for i, series in df2.iterrows():
chart.update(series)
if series['close'] > 20 and last_close < 20:
chart.marker(text='The price crossed $20!')
last_close = series['close']
sleep(0.1)
```

___
### 3. Updating bars from tick data in real-time:
```python
import pandas as pd
from time import sleep
from lightweight_charts import Chart
if __name__ == '__main__':
df1 = pd.read_csv('ohlc.csv')
# Columns: | time | price | volume (if volume is enabled) |
df2 = pd.read_csv('ticks.csv')
chart = Chart(volume_enabled=False)
chart.set(df1)
chart.show()
for i, tick in df2.iterrows():
chart.update_from_tick(tick)
sleep(0.3)
```
![tick data gif](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/louisnw01/lightweight-charts-python/main/examples/3_tick_data/tick_data.gif)
___
### 4. Line Indicators:
```python
import pandas as pd
from lightweight_charts import Chart
def calculate_sma(data: pd.DataFrame, period: int = 50):
def avg(d: pd.DataFrame):
return d['close'].mean()
result = []
for i in range(period - 1, len(data)):
val = avg(data.iloc[i - period + 1:i])
result.append({'time': data.iloc[i]['date'], 'value': val})
return pd.DataFrame(result)
if __name__ == '__main__':
chart = Chart()
df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv')
chart.set(df)
line = chart.create_line()
sma_data = calculate_sma(df)
line._set(sma_data)
chart.show(block=True)
```

___
### 5. Styling:
```python
import pandas as pd
from lightweight_charts import Chart
if __name__ == '__main__':
chart = Chart(debug=True)
df = pd.read_csv('ohlcv.csv')
chart.layout(background_color='#090008', text_color='#FFFFFF', font_size=16,
font_family='Helvetica')
chart.candle_style(up_color='#00ff55', down_color='#ed4807',
border_up_color='#FFFFFF', border_down_color='#FFFFFF',
wick_up_color='#FFFFFF', wick_down_color='#FFFFFF')
chart.volume_config(up_color='#00ff55', down_color='#ed4807')
chart.watermark('1D', color='rgba(180, 180, 240, 0.7)')
chart.crosshair(mode='normal', vert_color='#FFFFFF', vert_style='dotted',
horz_color='#FFFFFF', horz_style='dotted')
chart.legend(visible=True, font_size=14)
chart.set(df)
chart.show(block=True)
```

### 6. Callbacks:
```python
import asyncio
import pandas as pd
from lightweight_charts import Chart
def get_bar_data(symbol, timeframe):
if symbol not in ('AAPL', 'GOOGL', 'TSLA'):
print(f'No data for "{symbol}"')
return pd.DataFrame()
return pd.read_csv(f'bar_data/{symbol}_{timeframe}.csv')
class API:
def __init__(self):
self.chart = None # Changes after each callback.
async def on_search(self, searched_string): # Called when the user searches.
new_data = get_bar_data(searched_string, self.chart.topbar['timeframe'].value)
if new_data.empty:
return
self.chart.topbar['corner'].set(searched_string)
self.chart.set(new_data)
async def on_timeframe_selection(self): # Called when the user changes the timeframe.
new_data = get_bar_data(self.chart.topbar['corner'].value, self.chart.topbar['timeframe'].value)
if new_data.empty:
return
self.chart.set(new_data)
async def main():
api = API()
chart = Chart(api=api, topbar=True, searchbox=True)
chart.legend(True)
chart.topbar.textbox('corner', 'TSLA')
chart.topbar.switcher('timeframe', api.on_timeframe_selection, '1min', '5min', '30min', default='5min')
df = get_bar_data('TSLA', '5min')
chart.set(df)
await chart.show_async(block=True)
if __name__ == '__main__':
asyncio.run(main())
```
