Detailed Description

Baseclass for modules in an MLABNetwork.

All scripts contexts in MLAB have a global "context" variable (alias: "ctx") which can be accessed from the script. This context variable always points to an MLABModule, either an MLABMacroModule, MLABMLModule, or MLABInventorModule. All methods given in this documentation can be called by:

ctx.methodName(arg1,arg2,...);

Typical used methods in a module are:

Utility functions:

Methods concerning windows (panels):

Less typical methods in a module are:

MDL reference: Module

Member Function Documentation

MLABFieldListener* MLABModule::addFieldListener	(	MLABField *	field,
		const QVariant &	script,
		bool	init
	)

slot

Adds a field listener to the module at runtime.

The passed in script can be a string or a callable Python object (e.g., a function or instance method). For example, if you have a scripting function called myFieldChanged(), then you can register it like this:

ctx.addFieldListener(anyModule.field("anyField"), "myFieldChanged", False)

Parameters

script	The script is executed in the context the module you call this method on.
init	If this flag is true, the myFieldChanged function is called and the current field value is propagated.

virtual MLABModule* MLABModule::addMacroModuleFromFile ( const QString & file )

virtualslot

Adds a new module from a string to the internal network temporarily.

The module type will be MacroFromFile.

(This should only be used for application specific macros that should not be visible in the global MLAB database and that are generated on the fly in Scripting, the module is not persistent when you save the network.)

virtual MLABModule* MLABModule::addMacroModuleFromString ( const QString & string )

virtualslot

Adds a new module from a string to the internal network temporarily.

The module type will be MacroFromString.

(This should only be used for very small macros that are generated on the fly in Scripting, the module is not persistent when you save the network.)

virtual MLABModule* MLABModule::addModule ( const QString & name )

virtualslot

Adds a new module to the internal network (return null or new module).

The module can be a name from the MLAB database or a local macro (if the module is a local macro module, looks for networkPath() + "name.script").

virtual MLABModule* MLABModule::addRemoteModule ( const QString & name )

inlinevirtualslot

Adds a new module executed by a worker instance of MeVisLab in another process.

Some restrictions on GUI scripting and allowed input and output field types apply.

This does not work for local modules or OpenInventor modules.

References addRemoteModule().

Referenced by addRemoteModule().

void MLABModule::addToGroup ( const QString & name )

slot

Adds the module to the given group (if the name does not exist, a new group with that name is created).

If the name is empty, the module is moved to the top network level.

MLABMacroModule* MLABModule::applicationMacro ( bool shouldWarnIfNotMacro = true )

slot

Returns the MacroModule which is the top most in the parent chain, being the started application.

QVariant MLABModule::call	(	const QString &	function,
		const QVariantList &	args
	)

slot

Calls the given function inside of the module, the method can be global or fully qualified (e.g. someobject.somefunction), arguments are a Python list of values (these args can not be objects or classes)

QVariant MLABModule::call ( const QString & function )

slot

Like call() method, but without arguments.

QVariant MLABModule::call	(	const QString &	function,
		QObject *	obj
	)

slot

Like call() method, but with object as argument.

QStringList MLABModule::callableFunctions ( )

slot

Returns a list of callable scripting functions (callable with call()).

int MLABModule::callLater	(	double	seconds,
		const QVariant &	function,
		const QVariantList &	args = `QVariantList()`
	)

slot

Like call() method but calls after the given number of seconds.

If seconds is 0, it is guaranteed that the call is done AFTER the current event loop. The passed in function can be a string or a callable Python object (e.g. a function or instance method).

Returns: Returns a unique timer id that can be used with removeTimer() to stop the timer.

bool MLABModule::callRemoteFunction	(	const QString &	functionName,
		const QVariantList &	arguments = `QVariantList()`,
		const QVariant &	replyHandler = `QVariant()`
	)

slot

Calls a function on a remote client.

If this module is not running in a worker process, then an error is printed.

Parameters

functionName	The name of the function.
arguments	The argument list. This is optional.
replyHandler	A callable that is called with the reply argument list as parameters. This is optional.

Returns: Returns true if the module is managed by a remote connection and the sendGenericRequest() signal was emitted, false otherwise.

int MLABModule::callWithInterval	(	double	seconds,
		const QVariant &	function,
		const QVariantList &	args = `QVariantList()`
	)

slot

Like call() method but calls repeatedly in the given interval.

To stop the timer, use the kill() method on the returned timer object. The passed in function can be a string or a callable Python object (e.g. a function or instance method).

Returns: Returns a unique timer id that can be used with removeTimer() to stop the timer.

QObject* MLABModule::callWithObjectReturn	(	const QString &	function,
		const QVariantList &	args
	)

slot

Like call() method, but with object as return value.

QObject* MLABModule::callWithObjectReturn ( const QString & function )

slot

Like call() method, but with object as return value.

QObject* MLABModule::callWithObjectReturn	(	const QString &	function,
		QObject *	obj
	)

slot

Like call() method, but with object as return value.

virtual void MLABModule::clearCache ( )

virtualslot

Clears the ML cache of all output fields of this module and also of all modules inside of the internal network if it is a macro network.

void MLABModule::closeAllWindows ( bool emitDestroyedCommandImmediately = false )

slot

Closes all windows (you can reshow the windows at the same screen positions by calling reshowClosedWindows).

virtual void MLABModule::closeWindow ( )

virtualslot

Closes current window (depending on current window).

QObject* MLABModule::commandHandler ( const QString & name )

slot

Returns the command handler named name, if name is empty returns the first unnamed commandHandler.

bool MLABModule::connectField	(	const QString &	dst,
		const QString &	src
	)

slot

Connects input field dst to output field src, fields are given by their string name.

(Note: this is a shortcut to MLABField connectFrom().)

virtual MLABWidgetControl* MLABModule::control ( const QString & name )

virtualslot

Searches for control with given name (in current active window, see currentWindowID()).

Searches for a control which must be declared in the current active window by the MDL tag "instanceName" (alias: "name"). Note that control() will only return the correct control if the script code is called from somewhere in the MDL GUI, NOT when you try to call it from commands of the MDL Commands section or from the scripting console.

Example:

Button {
  title = "Button1"
  name = button1
  command = "*js: var b = ctx.control("button1"); b.setTitle("SomeText");  } *"
}

When called from a scripting console, the method will automatically use controlDebug() and return the first control it finds with that name in any of the opened windows.

MLABWidgetControl* MLABModule::controlDebug ( const QString & name )

slot

Like hasControl(), but ignores the current window context and searches through all open window.

This method is for debugging in the Scripting console, because control() will not return a control that is not in the correct window context.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createBorderlessWindow	(	const QString &	name,
		MLABWindowControl *	parent
	)

slot

Creates a borderless window that is a child of the given window (if window is omitted, it will have no parent).

This function can be used to create information windows that are shown/hidden by the application and can not be moved/closed by the user. Note that the window is not shown after creation, you have to call show() to make it visible and you can use one of the methods of MLABWindowControl to place it at the correct position e.g. move() or moveTo().

void MLABModule::createConnectors ( )

slot

Creates the field connectors of the visual by communicating with the module listener.

If the module listener is NULL, nothing is done.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createModalDialog	(	const QString &	name,
		MLABWindowControl *	parent
	)

slot

Creates a modal dialog that is a child of the given window (if window is omitted, it will have no parent).

Note that the window is not shown after creation, you have to call MLABWindowControl::exec() on the window to show it (exec() then returns the accept/reject code).

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createPopupWindow	(	const QString &	name,
		MLABWindowControl *	parent
	)

slot

Creates a popup window that is a child of the given (if window is omitted, it will have no parent).

Note that the window is not shown after creation, you have to call show() to make it visible and you can use one of the methods of MLABWindowControl to place it at the correct position e.g. move() or moveTo().

void MLABModule::createScriptingContext ( const QString & language )

slot

Creates scripting context for given language if not already done.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createWindow ( )

slot

Creates the module's default window (the first window found in the tree, or with the name _default).

Creating does not show the window, use methods from MLABWindowControl to show the window after creation. If window was already created, this method returns the pointer to the old instantiated window.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createWindow ( MLABWindowControl * parent )

slot

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createWindow ( const QString & name )

slot

Creates window with name (_default, _automatic and _viewer are special names that can be used).

Creating does not show the window, use methods from MLABWindowControl to show the window after creation. If window was already created, this method returns the pointer to the old instantiated window.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createWindow	(	const QString &	name,
		MLABWindowControl *	parent
	)

slot

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createWindowFromFile ( const QString & file )

slot

Creates window which is read from file.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createWindowFromFile	(	const QString &	file,
		MLABWindowControl *	parent
	)

slot

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createWindowFromString ( const QString & string )

slot

Creates window which is parsed from the given string.

MLABWindowControl* MLABModule::createWindowFromString	(	const QString &	string,

(Note: this is a shortcut to MLABField disconnect().)

QString MLABModule::expandFilename	(	const QString &	file,
		bool	doCleanPath = `true`
	)

slot

Expands variable strings starting with $(...) in given filename.

Trailing (back-)slashes are removed if the result is a directory.

This function supports:

LOCAL - local path of def/script file this module is defined in
NETWORK - local path of network file this module instance is in
MLAB_xxx_yyy - where xxx is an existing package group and yyy an existing package name
DemoDataPath - path to MeVisLab DemoData

and all variables that are given in mevislab.prefs file. If doCleanPath is set multiple directory separators are removed and any '.' and '..' is resolved.

bool MLABModule::exportWindows ( const QStringList & windowNames = QStringList()<< "_default" )

slot

Makes the given window and relevant fields available to remote clients by exporting the fields and MDL window definitions.

This function will do nothing if this module is not running in a worker process. It must be called on the application module, otherwise it has no effect.

Parameters

windowNames An optional list of windows to export. If it is omitted, then the default window of this module will be exported. The names may contain dots to specify windows of sub modules.

Returns: Returns true if the module is managed by a module server connection and the exportWindowDefinitions() signal was emitted, false otherwise.

virtual MLABField* MLABModule::field ( const QString & name )

virtualslot

Searches for field with given name in dotted notation.

Searches the field by its name. The name can be the name of a field in this module, or a field in the internal network of the macro module. If an internal field is accessed, the name is constructed with the module's instanceName, "." and the field name.

Example for a simple module field and an internal field:

field1 = ctx.field("somefield")

field2 = ctx.field("somemodule.somefield")

See MLABField and its derived classes to learn what methods are available on fields.

You can also access field in the parent module of the current module. And you can go up with "parent:" and go done with "." as you wish. This is an advanced feature and should only be used if really needed because it breaks encapsulation!

Example for a parent module's field:

parentField1 = ctx.field("parent:somefield")

parentField2 = ctx.field("parent:somemodule.somefield")
