Inheritance diagram of GraphicalChoiceDlg
class GraphicalChoiceDlg(parent=None, designMode=False, choices=None, pixmaps=None, iconSize=128, defaultPixmap=None, horizontalScrollBarPolicy=0, verticalScrollBarPolicy=0)[source]

A generic dialog for choosing among a set of choices which are presented as an array of, each with a given pixmap.

The getChoice() static method is provided for convenience so that the dialog can be invoked wit a single line:

chosen,ok = GraphicalChoiceDlg.getChoice(
    parent, title, msg, choices, pixmaps, size, defpixmap,
    horizontalScrollBarPolicy, verticalScrollBarPolicy
    )

Import from taurus.qt.qtgui.input as:

from taurus.qt.qtgui.input import GraphicalChoiceDlg
static getChoice(parent=None, title='', msg='', choices=None, pixmaps=None, iconSize=128, defaultPixmap=None, horizontalScrollBarPolicy=0, verticalScrollBarPolicy=0)[source]

Static method which launches a GraphicalChoiceDlg with the given options and returns the result

Parameters:
  • parent (QWidget) – The parent of the dialog (it will be centered on it)

  • title (str) – the text which is displayed in the title bar of the dialog

  • msg (str) – the text which is shown to the user in the dialog, above the choices.

  • choices (list<list>) – a list of lists of strings to be used as choices names. The (possibly sparse) 2D array defined by the nested lists will be used to present the choices in a grid. The choice names will be used as keys for pixmaps

  • pixmaps (dict<str,QPixmap>) – dictionary mapping the choices text to corresponding pixmap. If no valid pixmap is provided for a given choice, the defaultPixmap will be used

  • iconSize (int) – size of the icons to be displayed (128px by default)

  • defaultPixmap (QPixmap) – Default Pixmap to use if none passed for a given choice. No Pixmap will be used if None passed.

  • horizontalScrollBarPolicy (enum Qt.ScrollBarPolicy) – defines the mode of the horizontal scroll bar. The default mode is ScrollBarAsNeeded.

  • verticalScrollBarPolicy (enum Qt.ScrollBarPolicy) – defines the mode of the vertical scroll bar. The default mode is ScrollBarAsNeeded

Returns:

A tuple containing choice,ok. choice is the name of the chosen option. ok is true if the user pressed OK and false if the user pressed Cancel.

Return type:

tuple<str,bool>
