Closes #32.

What

Chart.add_line and Chart.remove_line draw single lines of constant value on top of the line families. Each line has its own name, legend entry, label and style.

diagram = PropertyDiagram("CO2", "ph", units="engineering")
diagram.set_default_lines(labels=True, rounding=True)
diagram.add_line("T", 22)                                   # one isotherm highlighted among the defaults
diagram.add_line("p", 130, name="Burst disk",
                 line_style=LineStyle(color="red", width_pt=2.0, dash="dashed"))
  • Any quantity set_lines accepts works, and so do the two axis quantities (p and h on a p-h chart). A line of an axis quantity is straight across the plot, and the axes widen to show it.
  • Without line_style, a line takes its family's style at twice the width. An axis line takes the colour of the saturation curve, including any set_line_style("saturation", ...) change.
  • label is True (the value), False (no label) or a text of its own. The default name is the label text, for example "T=22 deg C"; when a line of another value already has that name, the new one is numbered ("p=30 bar (2)").
  • set_lines and set_default_lines leave these lines alone. A line with the same value as one of its family's lines reuses that line's curve from the cache.

How

  • Spec: coolplot.LineSpec and DiagramSpec.lines. The spec record gets a "lines" entry only when there are lines, so records of 1.5 read and write as before. Names must be unique and may not end in /label.
  • Engine: plan() requests the curves of non-axis lines after the families, with item id line/<name>. Families and lines go through one plan, so the background engine treats them as one batch.
  • Compose: new scene roles line and line_label, drawn between the saturation curve and the labels (z order 3). line_look and line_items follow isoline_look and isoline_items. The new helpers label_spot and label_style are shared with the family labels, and DiagramType.is_axis replaces the repeated axis checks. The legend and badge corners count the single lines.
  • coolplot-core 1.6: the same composer in C++, with five new golden cases. An older core refuses specs with lines, and the Python composer draws them, as for earlier features.
  • Docs: a "Single lines" section in the isolines how-to, contracts reference, CHANGELOG (Unreleased), and the CO2 example now shows the gas cooler outlet isotherm and a burst disk line.

Notes for review

  • master released 1.5.0 (with coolplot-core 1.5 and the badge port) while this PR was open; it is merged in, and the single lines now need coolplot-core 1.6.
  • Only the golden files of the single lines were written again (with the 1.5.0 themes and badge); the other golden files are master's.
  • The package version stays at 1.5.0 for the release to decide.

Testing (after merging master)

  • Python suite: 578 passed, 89 skipped (including mypy, API vocabulary, architecture and examples).
  • Through coolplot-core 1.6 with COOLPLOT_NATIVE=1 -W error::coolplot.corelib.CoreFallbackWarning: 626 passed, 41 skipped.
  • coolplot_core_tests: all passed (657 assertions). tests/js/check_scene_svg.js: all files identical. Sphinx with -W: build succeeded.

Single lines of constant value are drawn on top of the families, each with
its own name, legend entry, label and style (issue #32). A highlighted
isotherm among the default ones takes its family's style at twice the
width; a line of an axis quantity, such as the burst disk pressure in a
log(p)-h chart, runs straight across the plot and widens the axes.

- spec: LineSpec and DiagramSpec.lines, written to the spec record as
  "lines" only when there are any
- engine: plan() requests the curves of non-axis lines after the families,
  under the id "line/<name>", so they share the cache with family lines
- compose: scene roles "line" and "line_label", z order 3
- coolplot-core 1.5: the same composer in C++, with golden cases; an older
  core leaves charts with single lines to the Python composer
- docs, changelog and the CO2 example show the burst disk line

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- DiagramType.is_axis replaces the repeated "key in (x, y)" checks in the
  spec, planner, composer and chart (Python and C++)
- line_look and line_items follow isoline_look and isoline_items; line_look
  returns (style, role, legend, z order) like isoline_look
- axes_spec widens the axes for lines of an axis quantity itself, so
  compose needs no extra glue
- label_spot (out of inline_labels) and label_style (out of label_requests)
  are shared by the families and the single lines; axis_line returns the
  straight line and its label spot
- C++: label_item builds every label, a map finds the curve of a line
- add_line snaps the default name's value directly, LineSpec is built with
  keywords

The scenes are unchanged: the golden files and the comparisons with
coolplot-core pass as before.

Walkthrough

The change adds named constant-value lines for family and axis quantities. Chart APIs, specification records, curve planning, and Python and native composition support line values, labels, and styles.

Changes: Named Single Lines

Layer / File(s) Summary
Line specification and chart API
src/coolplot/spec/diagram.py, src/coolplot/chart.py, src/coolplot/core/diagram_type.py, src/coolplot/__init__.py, src/coolplot/spec/__init__.py, cpp/include/coolplot/spec.h, cpp/include/coolplot/core.h, cpp/src/spec.cpp
Specifications represent named lines with values, labels, styles, and point counts. Chart.add_line adds or replaces a line, and Chart.remove_line removes one by name. The API validates inputs and serializes non-empty line data.
Python planning and composition
src/coolplot/engine/planning.py, src/coolplot/compose/builder.py, src/coolplot/scene.py
Planning requests curves for non-axis lines. Composition draws axis lines across the plot and other lines from computed curves. It places labels and includes lines in axis limits, corner placement, and scene ordering.
Native specification and composition
cpp/src/spec.cpp, cpp/src/compose.cpp, cpp/include/coolplot/compose.h, cpp/CMakeLists.txt, src/coolplot/corelib.py
CoolPlot Core 1.5 parses and composes single-line specifications. It draws line and label items, includes lines in axis limits and legend placement, and uses z-order 3. The Python compatibility check avoids sending line specifications to older cores.
Validation and usage examples
tests/test_single_lines.py, tests/test_native_core.py, cpp/tests/test_compose.cpp, cpp/tests/test_svg.cpp, cpp/tests/data/*, tests/test_api_vocabulary.py, docs/how_to/isolines.md, docs/reference/contracts.md, examples/co2_transcritical.py, CHANGELOG.md
Tests cover line APIs, validation, serialization, rendering, and native-core parity and fallback. Documentation and the example describe line configuration, labels, styles, and scene roles.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 4bf6d

The change is mergeable with bounded follow-up: some zoomed lines lack labels, progress can be inaccurate, and duplicate names in native input can produce invalid scenes.

Explanation

Issue #32 requires highlighted individual isolines without replacing default families, independent wider styling, and lines for axis quantities. Chart.add_line and remove_line implement named lines. set_lines and set_default_lines preserve them. The composer draws family and axis lines, expands axis limits, and supports labels and styles. Tests cover family preservation, axis lines, styling, validation, serialization, SVG output, and native-core behavior.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @cpp/src/compose.cpp:
- Line 510: Update label_spot so a non-axis line with exactly two visible curve
points uses those points to determine the label position and direction instead
of returning false. Ensure both composers preserve and place the requested label
for this valid two-point configuration.
- Line 516: Update native DiagramSpec::from_json and Python DiagramSpec
validation to reject line names ending in “/label” before appending them,
alongside the existing duplicate-name check. This keeps line item IDs distinct
from label IDs created by the line-label construction shown in the diff.

Review comments at @docs/how_to/isolines.md:
- Line 33: Update the import in the example containing PropertyDiagram and
add_line to import both PropertyDiagram and LineStyle, so the copied block can
use PropertyDiagram without a NameError.
- Line 26: Update the add_line version statement in the isolines documentation
to reflect that the Python package includes the API in version 1.4.0; identify
1.5 specifically as the required native core version where applicable.

Review comments at @docs/reference/contracts.md:
- Line 247: Update the group documentation to distinguish the single line’s
`line/&lt;name&gt;` group from its label’s separate `line/&lt;name&gt;/label`
group, noting that both composers use these groups.

Review comments at @src/coolplot/chart.py:
- Around line 652-653: Update the generated-name handling in the `name is None`
branch of `add_line` so distinct line values that format to the same
`label_text` do not overwrite one another; add a distinguishing suffix or
otherwise ensure each generated name is unique. Preserve the existing
replacement behavior for names explicitly provided by callers.

Review comments at @src/coolplot/compose/builder.py:
- Around line 282-283: Update label_spot so a non-axis line with exactly two
visible vertices uses the visible segment to place its label instead of
returning None; preserve the existing behavior for lines with fewer than two
vertices.
- Line 347: Update the axis-line styling in the builder near
`theme.isoline.with_` to resolve `theme.saturation` through its `style_override`
for `SATURATION_KEY` before using its color. Apply the same override-aware color
resolution in the native `line_look`, while preserving the existing isoline
style as the axis-line base.

Outside diff Reject duplicate line names in native specifications.

178-178: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject duplicate line names in native specifications.

If a direct compose_json record contains two axis lines named A, the parser appends both. Composition then emits two items with ID line/A and two labels with ID line/A/label. The native scene writer serializes those duplicate IDs, but scene readers reject them. Reject a repeated name before spec.lines.push_back(line), as the Python specification does.

The two outside-diff findings of the second review are fixed in cb42a82:

  • cpp/src/spec.cpp: the C++ reader refuses a repeated line name, as the Python spec does (test in test_compose.cpp).
  • Chart.progress without a background engine counts the single lines that need a curve; lines of an axis quantity need none (test_progress_counts_the_lines_that_need_a_curve).

Generated by Claude Code

master released 1.5.0 with coolplot-core 1.5 (the badge port), so the
single lines are composed by coolplot-core 1.6: the core version, the
bridge's refusal for an older core, the tests and the docs say 1.6. The
legend and the badge corners count the single lines. The golden files of
the single lines are written again with the 1.5.0 themes and badge.
