DafeVisLib

DafeVisLib: The Intelligent Visualization & UI Engine
This is not a library of colors and drawing functions. This is an AI-powered artist and data scientist that lives in your code. It automates the complex, time-consuming process of data analysis and visualization, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: your trading ideas.

█ CHAPTER 1: THE PHILOSOPHY - BEYOND PLOTTING, INTO PERCEPTION
For too long, the world of technical indicator development has been bifurcated. On one side, you have the quantitative analyst, obsessed with mathematical purity but often displaying their work in a crude, unintuitive manner. On the other, you have the visual designer, creating beautiful indicators that often lack analytical depth. The result for the end-user is a compromise: either a tool that is powerful but ugly and hard to interpret, or one that is beautiful but analytically shallow.

The DafeVisLib was created to shatter this compromise. Its core philosophy is that great analysis and great visualization are not separate disciplines; they are two sides of the same coin. An indicator should not just present data; it should communicate intelligence. It should automatically understand the nature of the data it is given and render it in the most effective, intuitive, and aesthetically pleasing way possible.

This library is an "Architect." You provide it with the raw materials—a simple data series like an RSI or a moving average—and it handles the entire complex process of analysis, configuration, and rendering. It is the ultimate accelerator for developers, saving hundreds of hours of boilerplate code, and the ultimate upgrade for traders, providing a level of clarity and visual intelligence previously unseen on this platform.

█ CHAPTER 2: THE CORE INNOVATION - THE "ANALYZE, THEN RENDER" PARADIGM
The DafeVisualsLib operates on a revolutionary two-stage pipeline that sets it apart from any other tool. This is not a passive collection of functions; it is an active, intelligent system.

STAGE 1: The analyze() Function (The Data Scientist)
This is the brain. Before a single line is drawn, this function performs a sophisticated statistical analysis on your raw data series to understand its fundamental character. It asks the critical questions that a human analyst would:

What is the Data Type? It automatically detects if your data is a bounded "oscillator" like an RSI, a zero-centric "momentum" indicator like MACD, a "price"-based line like a moving average, or a "volume"-based metric. This is crucial, as an oscillator should be visualized differently than a volume histogram.

What is the Market Regime? It analyzes the data's volatility (using the coefficient of variation) to classify the current environment as a low-volatility "squeeze," a moderate-volatility "trend," or a high-volatility "volatile" state.

Where is the Data in its Cycle? It normalizes the data to a 0-100 scale and calculates its Z-Score to determine if it is currently at a statistical "extreme."
The output of this stage is a MetricAnalysis object—a complete analytical report on the DNA of your data.

STAGE 2: The auto_config() Function (The Artist & Physicist)
This is where the magic happens. This function takes the analytical report from analyze() and uses it to make a series of intelligent, context-aware decisions about how the data should be visualized.

Intelligent Color Logic: It doesn't just use one color. For an "oscillator," it will create a beautiful heatmap gradient. For a "momentum" indicator, it will use a binary bull/bear color scheme.

Neon Physics: It separates the color into a solid c_core and a transparent c_glow. The opacity of the glow is not static; it is dynamically controlled by the detected market regime. In a "volatile" regime, the glow becomes bright and intense. In a "squeeze," it becomes dim and subtle.

Adaptive Style & Width: It automatically adjusts the plot style and line width. A "momentum" indicator will be rendered as an area chart by default. A "volume" series will become columns. A "price" line will be thick and bold in a volatile market and thin and clean in a calm market.

Smart Zones: If it detects that the data is an "oscillator," it will automatically recommend showing overbought/oversold zones and provide the standard 70/30 levels.
The output of this stage is a PlotConfig object—a complete, ready-to-use set of plotting instructions, intelligently tailored to your specific data and the current market conditions.

█ CHAPTER 3: A DEEP DIVE INTO THE DEVELOPER'S TOOLKIT
This library is a gift to Pine Script developers. It is a suite of powerful, high-level functions designed to dramatically simplify your workflow and elevate the final product.

The Theme Engine
Forget hard-coding colors. The get_theme() function provides access to a library of professionally designed, high-contrast color themes (Neon, Cyber, Matrix, Gold, Ice, Blood, DAFE Signature). Each Theme object contains a complete, consistent palette for primary, secondary, accent, bull, bear, and neutral colors. This allows you to build indicators that are not only functional but also have a polished, professional aesthetic that is consistent across all your DAFE-powered creations.

The Color Engine
Go beyond simple colors with a powerful suite of advanced color functions. gradient_color() allows for smooth linear interpolation between any two colors. gradient_3() creates a three-point gradient, perfect for heatmaps. adaptive_alpha() calculates the optimal transparency for an element based on a confidence or strength score, making your visuals dynamically react to the data.

Candle Diagnostics
The diagnose_candle() function is a complete microstructure analysis tool in a single call. It returns a detailed breakdown of any candle, including its body vs. wick percentages, and flags for common patterns like Dojis, Hammers, Shooting Stars, and Marubozus. The companion candle_color() function uses this analysis to provide intelligent, health-based candle coloring.

The UI & HUD Toolkit
Building user interfaces with tables can be tedious and complex. This library provides a comprehensive suite of helper functions to make it effortless and beautiful.

ASCII Art Generators: Functions like draw_bar(), draw_gauge(), draw_stars(), and the incredible draw_sparkline() allow you to create rich, data-dense, text-based visualizations directly within your dashboards.

Dashboard Builders: A modular toolkit for creating professional dashboards. create_pane() initializes the table. fill_header(), fill_metric(), fill_status(), and fill_separator() provide a simple, high-level API for populating your dashboard with consistently styled and beautifully formatted information.

Smart Formatting: Utilities like smart_text() (which auto-selects black or white text for optimal contrast) and format_compact() (which abbreviates large numbers to "1.23M" or "456K") handle the small details that create a polished user experience.

█ CHAPTER 4: DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY
The DafeVisLib was born from a desire to democratize elite-level indicator design. For too long, the ability to create beautiful, context-aware, and intuitively designed indicators has been the domain of a select few developers with deep knowledge of both programming and graphic design. This library changes that. It is an open-source tool that encapsulates thousands of hours of research and development into a simple, powerful API.

Our philosophy is that a developer's most valuable asset is their idea. They should be free to focus on inventing new, powerful analytical concepts, without getting bogged down in the tedious, repetitive work of building robust visualization and configuration systems from scratch. This library is our contribution to the Pine Script community—a tool for builders, designed to accelerate innovation and elevate the quality of indicators for everyone.

This library embraces that philosophy. It handles immense complexity on the backend to deliver absolute simplicity and elegance on the frontend, both for the developer who uses it and the trader who benefits from it.

█ DISCLAIMER & IMPORTANT NOTES
THIS IS A LIBRARY FOR DEVELOPERS: This script does nothing on its own. It is a powerful engine that must be imported and used by other indicator developers in their own scripts. It is a tool for building, not a ready-made indicator.
THE ANALYSIS IS A GUIDE: The analyze() function's classification of data and regimes is based on a robust set of heuristics, but it is a statistical interpretation. It provides a powerful baseline for visualization but is not a substitute for a trader's own judgment.
