Show the number of commits

[icyflame]

Have an option that would print the actual number of commits in a particular segment (such as Monday, 10 am - 11 am)

A bar graph visualisation for this might be better (although out of the scope of the present project)

Hmm. Where to show the numbers properly? In the circle might not be appropriate because the numbers would be too small.

[icyflame]

Yeah, true. I don't know where. If we follow GitHub's punchcard, then it should be a tool tip on top of the circle.

@guanqun I am going to try to do this using the show_text function. We can show the text at the center of the punch itself, but I have no clue how it will look! I will post an example soon.

[guanqun]

Sure. We can start from an example. :)

This seems to work. The 1 is still out of place, a good way to do this could be to find the font size which will lead the 1 to comfortably fit within the circle radius for 1 commit and then use that font size everywhere. That should solve our problem.

This SO answer has a way to do that, I can implement this. https://stackoverflow.com/a/2836530/2080089

What do you think?

The graph looks great, however it seems to me the number is not strictly in the middle of the circle, slightly towards the right-bottom?

Using the method you mentioned can probably work. But what if the font size calculated is too small? We could have a default threshold, if it's too small, we can simply discard that number.
