v5.4.7-dev.9

A BIG rewrite!

The dev.8/9 releases contain a full rewrite of the horseshoe to make maintenance easier and the configuration more robust.
The original horseshoe has been cut into several classes/files. One of the most important classes is the Geometry class. This one processes the visual layout of the horseshoe itself, the tickmarks, the labels, the scale, and the bar mode. All other parts use this one.

One of the nice things about this is that if you, for instance, change the scale from linear to spline, all parts use the new scale directly without knowing something is different 😄 🪂

Only the major/minor tickmarks renderer "knows" about the spline, as it can taper the thickness of the minor tickmarks, so they fit into the available space.
The spline can be controlled by anchors:

• The left card only has 1 anchor at 1. You can see that it has some small issues with the first part, as the spline has no history, and as a result, the minor tickmarks seem a bit off (small, large, small)
• The right card has multiple anchors to control the first part of the scale: that one looks much better!

A spline btw, looks like a log() scale, but can be controlled by the user using anchors, so you can decide which part of the scale is enlarged, and which part is compressed.

With this version, a regression in the Geometry is fixed, and all obsolete files and render paths are removed: about 9.000 lines!
