capsul.qt_gui.widgets.activation_inspector submodule

A tool to debug and inspect nodes activation / deactivation in a pipeline.

Classes

ActivationInspectorApp

ActivationInspector

class capsul.qt_gui.widgets.activation_inspector.ActivationInspector(pipeline, ui_file=None, record_file=None, developper_view=None, parent=None)

A Widget to display the pipeline activation process step by step.

Initialize the ActivationInspector class.

Parameters:

• pipeline (capsul.Pipeline (mandatory)) – the pipeline we want to inspect.
• ui_file (str (optional)) – the path to the qt user interface description file. If not specified, it will find its standard one.
• record_file (str (optional)) – a file path where the activation steps are recorded. If not specified (None), it will create a temporary file.
• developper_view (PipelineDevelopperView (optional)) – if specified it is possible to click on a plug to set a filter pattern and to update the pipeline activation accordingly.

add_controls_to_ui()

Method to find dynamic controls

find_next()

Forward search for a pattern in the activation list.

Returns:is_found – 1 if a match has been found, 0 otherwise. Return type:int

find_previous()

Backward search for a pattern in the activation list.

Returns:is_found – True if a match has been found, False otherwise. Return type:bool

refresh_activation_from_record()

Method to display pipeline activation steps from the recorded file.

set_filter_pattern(filter_pattern)

Method that set a filter pattern.

Try a forward search followed by a backward one.

Parameters:filter_pattern (str (mandatory)) – the filter pattern we want to set.

show()

Shows the widget and its child widgets.

update_pipeline_activation(index)

Method that is used to replay the activation step by step.

When a specific activation step is selected, the pipeline will reflect the selected activation status

class capsul.qt_gui.widgets.activation_inspector.ActivationInspectorApp(pipeline_path, record_file=None, *args, **kwargs)

ActivationInspector Application. While developing a pipeline, nodes are connected through links. Nodes will be automatically activated or disabled depending on their connections (a mandatory link to a disabled node will disable the current one). You will often wonder why a node will not be activated. This tool helps to determine when and why by “playing” activation rules sequences step-by-step and displaying nodes which activate or deactivate at each step.

Method to initialize the ActivationInspectorApp class.

Parameters:

• pipeline_path (str (mandatory)) – the name of the pipeline we want to load.
• record_file (str (optional)) – a file where the pipeline activation steps are stored.

init_window()

Method to initialize the main window.

Process interface with attributes completion handling

Parameters:

• attributed_process (Process instance) – process with attributes to be displayed
• enable_attr_from_filename (bool (optional)) – if enabled, it will be possible to specify an input filename to build attributes from

• user_data (any type (optional)) – optional user data that can be accessed by individual control editors
• userlevel (int) – the current user level: some traits may be marked with a non-zero userlevel, and will only be visible if the ControllerWidget userlevel is more than (or equal) the trait level.
• scroll (bool) – if True, the widget includes scrollbars in the parameters and attributes sections when needed, otherwise it will be a fixed size widget.

• parent (QWidget (optional)) – parent widget
• show_sub_pipelines (bool (optional)) – if set, sub-pipelines will appear as red/pink boxes and a double click on one of them will open another window with the sub-pipeline structure in it
• allow_open_controller (bool (optional)) – if set, a right click on any box will open another window with the underlying node controller, allowing to see and edit parameters values, switches states, etc.
• logical_view (bool (optional)) – if set, plugs and links between plugs are hidden, only links between nodes are displayed.
• enable_edition (bool (optional)) – if set, pipeline edition features are available in GUI and menus: adding process boxes, drawing links etc. If pipeline is not specified, then edition will be activated anyway.

class ProcessNameEdit(parent=None, class_type_check=<function is_process>)

A specialized QLineEdit with completion for process name

add_embedded_subpipeline(subpipeline_name, scale=None)

Adds an embedded sub-pipeline inside its parent node.

add_iterative_process()

Insert an iterative process node in the pipeline. Asks for the process module/name, the node name, and iterative plugs before inserting.

add_node()

Insert a custom node in the pipeline. Asks for the node module/name, and the node name before inserting.

add_optional_output_switch()

Insert an optional output switch node in the pipeline. Asks for the switch inputs/outputs, and the node name before inserting.

add_process()

Insert a process node in the pipeline. Asks for the process module/name, and the node name before inserting.

add_switch()

Insert a switch node in the pipeline. Asks for the switch inputs/outputs, and the node name before inserting.

auto_dot_node_positions()

colored_parameters = True

If enabled (default), parameters in nodes boxes are displayed with color codes representing their state, and the state of their values: output parameters, empty values, existing files, non-existing files…

When colored_parameters is set, however, callbacks have to be installed to track changes in traits values, so this actually has an overhead. When colored_parameters is used, the color code is as follows:

• black pamameter name: input
• red parameter name: output
• italics parameter name: Undefined, None, or empty string value
• bold parameter name: existing file or directory name
• regular font parameter name: non-existing file, or non-file parameter type
• black plug: mandatory
• green plug: optional
• grey plug: mandatory, inactive
• light green plug: optional, inactive
• grey link: inactive
• orange link: active
• dotted line link: weak link

Set each pipeline node to its “saved” position, ie the one which may be found in the “node_position” variable of the pipeline.

save_dot_image_ui()

Ask for a filename using the file dialog, and save a graphviz/dot representation of the pipeline. The pipeline representation follows the current visualization mode (“regular” or “logical” with smaller boxes) with one link of a given type (active, weak) between two given boxes: all parameters are not represented.
