Update requirements.txt file for changes in #452

[glinesbdev]

Supersedes and closes #452
Original OP follows:

---

It may seem a bit convoluted, but it works:

8mb.video-WRi-EDN02djp.mp4

Some more stuff is needed to merge this but we should be already at a pretty good point:

• move from pygal to matplotlib Migrate from pygal  #449
• make the output SVG use the CSS variables instead of hardcoded colross
• update requirements.txt
• move the call to the plot generation from the renderer to the preproc step of mdbook, otherwise the output SVG files cannot be inline injected
  • We should consider just calling a python script, instead of having the single calls for every plot like it is now here. @ISSOtm opinions?
• replace the two img tags with #import in the MBC5 article so the svg is actually injected in the HTML

Fixes #322

Alright, I have edited the OP to replicate the original PR's. That means what's left is only mdBook "wiring up", which falls under my responsibility... so I'll have to do that then. :P

Thank you @glinesbdev!

This is amazing, @glinesbdev . Putting some sense into what I wrote and making this modular will be super useful also when not generating graphs but when we'll want to make other svgs "theme-able". Thanks a lot!

I'm trying the command line usage but when I run:

python graph_render.py MBC5_Rumble_Mild.csv "MBC5_Rumble_Mild"

The svg is printed out in the stdout and then two svg are actually generate, a "test.svg" and an "output.svg"..

Is this expected?

I finally found some time to hook up this PR's Python to a mdBook preproc.

It has to be a preproc, not a renderer/backend, because the files are {{#include}}d, and those are processed by the built-in links preproc. So they must be generated before then.

I used a separate script for the preproc, so that graph_render.py can still be invoked stand-alone. (For any reason.) I thus made the CLI logic only run if not imported. I also modified the "core" logic to make matplotlib write to an in-memory buffer rather than to a temporary file, to avoid any problems with the file already existing or whatnot.

Also, the generated files cannot go under src, otherwise they trigger mdBook's "did something change?", which re-builds... thus in a loop.

The output logic was changed

Thank you @glinesbdev! My apologies for taking this long to do the mdBook part of this PR.

Amazing work. Thanks for cleaning up my initial work and hooking it up @glinesbdev and @ISSOtm !
