-# Temporary Holding Version
+# @alphacharts/drawings
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+One chart plugin, `DrawingsPlugin`, owns every drawing on a chart. 82 tools.
+
+```ts
+import { createChart } from "@alphacharts/core";
+import { DrawingsPlugin, ArrayBarSource, allTools } from "@alphacharts/drawings";
+
+const source = new ArrayBarSource({ time, open, high, low, close, volume }); // columnar arrays you also pass to the series
+const drawings = new DrawingsPlugin({ tools: allTools, source, interval: 60_000, magnet: "weak" });
+chart.addPlugin(drawings);
+
+drawings.setTool("trendLine");               // the user clicks/drags; Esc cancels
+drawings.add({ tool: "fibRetracement", anchors: [{ time: t0, price: 120 }, { time: t1, price: 100 }] });
+drawings.events.on("created", (d) => save(d));
+chart.saveState();                           // includes drawings.toJSON(); restoreState() brings them back
+```
+
+Import named tools (`import { trendLine } from "@alphacharts/drawings"`) and pass
+only those in `tools` to keep the rest out of the bundle; `allTools` is 28 KB gzip.
+
+## What is anchored to what
+
+Every drawing is JSON: a tool id, **anchors of (time, price)** (never a timeline
+index, so prepending history or replacing data moves nothing), a style and
+tool props. Every number a tool prints (Δ price, %, bars, Fib level prices, Gann
+levels, risk/reward, quantity, VWAP, ratios) is arithmetic on the anchors and
+goes through the chart's price formatter. A ratio over a zero move is "n/a",
+a bar count without a `BarSource` is omitted; nothing is estimated. Invalid
+drawings (wrong anchor count, long position with the stop above the entry,
+non-finite numbers, a bar-reading tool without a source) throw with context.
+A tool that throws while drawing is reported once through `onError` and
+skipped; the other drawings keep drawing.
+
+Two deliberate exceptions to "time + price": **anchored text/note** are
+positioned on the pane (props `fx`, `fy`, fractions of its size) and stay put
+while the chart pans; **Gann square fixed** is square in screen pixels.
+
+## Machinery
+
+- Tool API (`ToolDef`): anchor count, gesture (`drag`, `clicks`, `single`,
+  `freehand`, variable-length with double-click/Enter to finish), `shapes()`
+  in CSS px, `validate`, `constrain`, `handlePoints`. Drawing, hit-testing,
+  box select and handles are generic over the returned `Shape`s.
+- Styles: color, width, dash, fill, text colour/size/bold/italic, text,
+  extend left/right (in time terms).
+- Magnet `off | weak | strong`: snaps to the nearest bar's open/high/low/close
+  (weak: within 16 px).
+- Lock, hide, visibility per chart interval (`setInterval`), multi-select
+  (shift-click, shift-drag box), copy/paste (at the pointer), duplicate (5
+  bars later, same price), delete, z-order (front/back/forward/backward).
+- Undo/redo: every mutation is a command with an exact inverse (add remembers
+  its index, remove its indices, patch full snapshots, reorder both orders); a
+  drag is one step.
+- Templates and favourite tools in any core `LayoutStore`.
+- Keyboard: Delete/Backspace, Esc, Ctrl/Cmd+Z, +Shift+Z (or +Y), +C, +V, +D, Enter.
+- Events: `created`, `changed`, `removed`, `selected`, `tool`, `history`.
+- JSON: `toJSON()` / `fromJSON()`, schema version 1; a newer version is refused,
+  nothing is replaced unless the whole state validates.

+## Definitions this library chose
+
+Where a tool has no single canonical definition, this is what is drawn (and tested):
+
+- Fib retracement: level 0 at the end anchor, 1 at the start. Extension: `c + (b − a)·r`.
+- Pitchforks: the median always runs to the midpoint of B and C. Schiff starts it at
+  (A.x, mid-price of A and B); modified Schiff at the midpoint of A and B; inside keeps
+  A as the origin and puts the outer tines through the midpoints of A–B and A–C.
+- Gann fan: the n×m line has the 1×1 slope (anchor 0 → anchor 1) times n/m.
+- Position quantity: `floor(accountSize · riskPercent / 100 / |entry − stop| / lot) · lot`,
+  shown only when `accountSize` is given. A 1e-9 relative guard keeps 0.3 / 0.1 from
+  flooring to 2.
+- Anchored VWAP: Σ(typical·volume) / Σ(volume), typical = (H + L + C) / 3, from the bar at or
+  before the anchor.
+- **Volume profile is a bar-level approximation** (a bar's volume is spread over the rows its
+  high–low range overlaps); the tool's label says so. A bar series has no traded-at-price data.
+- Ghost feed: bars resampled (seeded, deterministic) from the bars between the first two
+  anchors, chained from the third anchor's price. Bars pattern: those bars moved so the
+  first close sits at the third anchor's price.
+- Bar counts are positions in the bar sequence (`BarSource.logical`), fractional between bars.
+
+## Not done / limits
+
+- Text and note content is edited with `update(id, { style: { text } })`; there is no
+  in-canvas text editor, no toolbar, no settings dialog.
+- Handles exist for anchors only (a rectangle has two corner handles, not eight).
+- Straight segments on a log or percent price scale are straight in pixels between the mapped
+  anchors; level prices are still exact arithmetic on prices.
+- The magnet and bar counts need a `BarSource`; the core has no public range iteration over
+  series data, so the integrator hands one in (`ArrayBarSource` mirrors `setData/update/prepend`).
