Detailed Description

Defines a MacroModule with own fields and an optional internal network.

Most scripting functionality is available via the base class MLABModule, but MLABMacroModule provides some additional scripting functions.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addNote

MLABNoteItem* MLABMacroModule::addNote ( const QString &  title = QString(),
const QString &  text = QString() 
)
slot

Creates a new note item in the internal network.

◆ addReSTNote

MLABNoteItem* MLABMacroModule::addReSTNote ( const QString &  title = QString(),
const QString &  reSTText = QString() 
)
slot

Creates a new note item in the internal network with ReST text.

◆ emitInternalNetworkOpened()

void MLABMacroModule::emitInternalNetworkOpened ( )
inline

Emits when the internal network is opened.

◆ forceReload()

void MLABMacroModule::forceReload ( )
overridevirtual

Reloads the module, also makes sure that the MDL files are re-read in the global tree.

Reimplemented from MLABModule.

◆ group

MLABNetworkModelItemGroup* MLABMacroModule::group ( const QString &  groupName)
slot

Returns a group by its name.

◆ groups

QList<MLABNetworkModelItemGroup*> MLABMacroModule::groups ( )
slot

Returns all groups.

◆ isAdHocMacro

virtual bool MLABMacroModule::isAdHocMacro ( )
inlinevirtualslot

Returns whether the macro is a network document module.

◆ isLocalMacro

bool MLABMacroModule::isLocalMacro ( )
inlineoverrideslot

Returns whether the macro is a local macro module.

◆ isMacroModule()

bool MLABMacroModule::isMacroModule ( )
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns whether this module is a macro module.

Reimplemented from MLABModule.

◆ isNetworkDocumentMacro

virtual bool MLABMacroModule::isNetworkDocumentMacro ( )
inlinevirtualslot

Returns whether the macro is a network document module.

◆ module()

MLABModule* MLABMacroModule::module ( const QString &  name)
overridevirtual

Searches for module with given name.

Searches for a module with a given instanceName inside the internal network of this module.

Example:

mod = ctx.module("ImageLoad")

Reimplemented from MLABModule.

◆ network()

MLABNetwork* MLABMacroModule::network ( )
overridevirtual

Returns the internal network (used in MacroModules, do not mix this up with parentNetwork()! ).

Reimplemented from MLABModule.

◆ notes

QList<MLABNoteItem*> MLABMacroModule::notes ( )
slot

Returns all notes.

◆ object

QVariant MLABMacroModule::object ( )
slot

Get access to the underlying Python object associated with this macro module.

The idea of this method is to provide a public Python API to your macro module to facilitate direct calls to the underlying Python code. To associate a Python object with the macro module, assign it to the global object variable in your python code. This is equivalent to calling scriptVariable("__object__"). If the underlying object is not set, an empty QVariant is returned, which results in a Python None object. Note that basic Python types like dict are translated to Qt types, so if you want to make sure that your API object is returned as a Python object, you need to create your own Python class and assign an instance of it to object and not use a basic Python type. Note: If you keep a reference to the returned Python object, it will be reference counted by your code and thus it may live longer than the macro module itself. This can be a problem if you access the object after the macro itself has already been deleted.

◆ reload()

void MLABMacroModule::reload ( )
overridevirtual

Reloads the module.

Reimplemented from MLABModule.

◆ restoreMacroModulePersistentFields

void MLABMacroModule::restoreMacroModulePersistentFields ( MLABTree tree)
overrideslot

Restores the persistent fields from the tree.

◆ shouldReload()

bool MLABMacroModule::shouldReload ( )
overridevirtual

Returns whether the module should be reloaded.

Reimplemented from MLABModule.

◆ storeMacroModulePersistentFields

void MLABMacroModule::storeMacroModulePersistentFields ( MLABTree tree)
overrideslot

Stores the persistent fields to the tree.
