set_cell_step.set_cell_parameters module

Control parameters for the Set Cell step in a SEAMM flowchart

class set_cell_step.set_cell_parameters.SetCellParameters(defaults={}, data=None)[source]

Bases: Parameters

The control parameters for Set Cell.

The developer will add a dictionary of Parameters to this class. The keys are parameters for the current plugin, which themselves might be dictionaries.

You need to replace the ‘time’ example below with one or more definitions of the control parameters for your plugin and application.

parameters

‘format_string’, description’, help_text’}

A dictionary containing the parameters for the current step. Each key of the dictionary is a dictionary that contains the the following keys: kind, default, default_units, enumeration, format_string, description and help text.

Type:

{‘kind’, ‘default’, ‘default_units’, ‘enumeration’,

parameters['kind']

Specifies the kind of a variable. While the ‘kind’ of a variable might be a numeric value, it may still have enumerated custom values meaningful to the user. For instance, if the parameter is a convergence criterion for an optimizer, custom values like ‘normal’, ‘precise’, etc, might be adequate. In addition, any parameter can be set to a variable of expression, indicated by having ‘$’ as the first character in the field. For example, $OPTIMIZER_CONV.

Type:

custom

parameters['default']

‘enum’ The default value of the parameter, used to reset it.

Type:

‘integer’ or ‘float’ or ‘string’ or ‘boolean’ or

parameters['default_units']

The default units, used for resetting the value.

Type:

str

parameters['enumeration']

A tuple of enumerated values.

Type:

tuple

parameters['format_string']

A format string for ‘pretty’ output.

Type:

str

parameters['description']

A short string used as a prompt in the GUI.

Type:

str

parameters['help_text']

A longer string to display as help for the user.

Type:

tuple

set_cell_step.set_cell_step module

class set_cell_step.set_cell_step.SetCellStep(flowchart=None, gui=None)[source]

Bases: object

Helper class needed for the stevedore integration.

This must provide a description() method that returns a dict containing a description of this node, and create_node() and create_tk_node() methods for creating the graphical and non-graphical nodes.

my_description

A human-readable description of this step. It can be several lines long, and needs to be clear to non-expert users. It contains the following keys: description, group, name.

Type:

{description, group, name}

my_description['description']

A description of the Set Cell step. It must be clear to non-experts.

Type:

tuple

my_description['group']

Which group in the menus to put this step. If the group does not exist it will be created. Common groups are ‘Building’, ‘Calculations’, ‘Control’ and ‘Data’.

Type:

str

my_description['name']

The name of this step, to be displayed in the menus.

Type:

str

create_node(flowchart=None, **kwargs)[source]

Create and return the new node object.

Parameters:
  • flowchart (seamm.Node) – A non-graphical SEAMM node

create_dialog()[source]

Create the dialog. A set of widgets will be chosen by default based on what is specified in the Set Cell_parameters module.

None

edit()[source]

Present a dialog for editing the Set Cell input

Parameters:

None

Return type:

None

handle_dialog(result)[source]

Handle the closing of the edit dialog

What to do depends on the button used to close the dialog. If the user closes it by clicking the ‘x’ of the dialog window, None is returned, which we take as equivalent to cancel.

None

handle_help()[source]

Shows the help to the user when click on help button.

reset_dialog(widget=None)[source]

Layout the widgets in the dialog.

The widgets are chosen by default from the information in Set Cell_parameter.

This function simply lays them out row by row with aligned labels. You may wish a more complicated layout that is controlled by values of some of the control parameters. If so, edit or override this method

Parameters:

widget (Tk Widget = None) –

Return type:

None

Handles the right click event on the node.

Parameters:

event (Tk Event) –
