Major release

Breaking changes

• Graphic properties (such as data, colors, thickness etc.) have been refactored. They are much simpler now.
  • Please see this for a description of the new API, concise and in-depth comparison are given: https://github.com/fastplotlib/fastplotlib/pull/511#issuecomment-2160077218
  • Events should be added onto graphics now, not onto graphic properties. ex: do not do: line.colors.add_event_handler(), instead do: line.add_event_handler(<callback>, "colors"). Decorators are also supported, for more info see https://github.com/fastplotlib/fastplotlib/pull/511#issuecomment-2160077218
  • selector selection is now in data space, and doesn't return indices. For example, linear_selector.selection will return the x or y position of the selector in data space, not the index like before. See the "selectors" section here for more details or the selector docs: https://github.com/fastplotlib/fastplotlib/pull/511#issuecomment-2160077218
• Figure is new and is largely the same as the former Gridplot. Plot no longer exists. See #479
