try to avoid grid overlap narrow waveform peaks

[ronso0]

Bug Description

I noticed that with the 'Textured' waveform (RGB + acceleration + high details), the grid can overlap significant peaks (like the one in the center).

Clean waveform:

with grid:

Is it feasible to mask/break the grid like this so peaks are always visible?

So, simply composite the grid behind/below the waveform?

No, not really. The grid and peak colors maybe to close to spot the difference, especially when the waveform is moving.

What I proposed in the last image is essentially a gap in between the peak and the grid line, like crop the grid line or cover it where it's close to the signal.
I'm aware this is probably hard to achive since the waveform and grid renderer are independent layers IIUC.

In other words: I imagine the 'margin' as a layer with just a thick 'line' created from the envelope of the signal waveform.
So top to bottom this would be:

• signal
• outline (same color as background)
• grid

Right, but it could work as an easy stopgap solution.

That might be feasible to do performant with some trickery in the fragment shader.
