`TaurusInputPanel`

class TaurusInputPanel(input_data, parent=None)[source]

A panel design to get an input from the user.

The input_data is a dictionary which contains information on how to build the input dialog. It must contains the following keys:

prompt <str>: message to be displayed

The following are optional keys (and their corresponding default values):

title <str> (doesn’t have default value)

key <str> (doesn’t have default value): a label to be presented left to the input box represeting the label

unit <str> (doesn’t have default value): a label to be presented right to the input box representing the units

data_type <str or sequence> (‘String’): type of data to be requested. Standard accepted data types are ‘String’, ‘Integer’, ‘Float’, ‘Boolean’, ‘Text’. A list of elements will be interpreted as a selection. Default TaurusInputPanel class will interpret any custom data types as ‘String’ and will display input widget accordingly. Custom data types can be handled differently by supplying a different input_panel_klass.

minimum <int/float>: minimum value (makes sense when data_type is ‘Integer’ or ‘Float’)

maximum <int/float>: maximum value (makes sense when data_type is ‘Integer’ or ‘Float’)

step <int/float> (1): step size value (makes sense when data_type is ‘Integer’ or ‘Float’)

decimals <int> (1): number of decimal places to show (makes sense when data_type is ‘Float’)

default_value <obj> (doesn’t have default value): default value

allow_multiple <bool> (False): allow more than one value to be selected (makes sense when data_type is a sequence of possibilities)

Example:

app = Qt.QApplication([])

class Listener(object):
    def on_accept(self):
        print("user selected", self.panel.value())

d = dict(
    prompt="What's your favourite car brand?",
    data_type=["Mazda", "Skoda", "Citroen", "Mercedes", "Audi"],
    default_value="Mercedes"
)
w = TaurusInputPanel(d)
l = Listener()
l.panel = w
w.connect(w.buttonBox(), Qt.SIGNAL("accepted()"), l.on_accept)
w.show()
app.exec_()
