TaurusLauncherButton

class TaurusLauncherButton(parent=None, designMode=False, widget=None, icon=None, text=None)

This class provides a button that launches a modeless dialog containing a specified Taurus widget which gets the same model as the button. The button does not use the model directly. Instead it passes it to the associated widget.

Code examples:

# a button that launches a TaurusAttrForm when clicked
b = TaurusLauncherButton(widget = TaurusAttrForm())
# set dev name, which will be set at the TaurusAttrForm when clicking
b.setModel("a/b/c")

# a button that launches a taurusLabel
b = TaurusLauncherButton(widget="taurus.qt.qtgui.display:TaurusLabel")
b.setModel("a/b/c/d")

# a button that launches a TaurusPlot
b = TaurusLauncherButton(widget="taurus_pyqtgraph:TaurusPlot")
b.setModel("eval:rand(50)")
