Adding visual structure¶
Requirements¶
get_flat_data()¶
Any new visual structure should implement the abstract class VisualWidget
.
You must correctly implement the get_flat_data()
method that return a list of all the instances of VisualWidget
contained
within your new class.
If your class contain a singular value, it should be something along :
return [self]
If your class is container of some sort, you should return the instance of the container as well as the instances of the contained attributes
return [self] + self.list_of_contained_values
Other features¶
There are two very useful features that you should be aware of :
size_hint()¶
This method allow you to specify to the visualizer the size that your structure needs. It returns a QSize of pyQt5.
zoom¶
Handling zoom is essential in order for your structure to react well with user interactions.
Refer to the WidgetWithZoom
class to get more details.
