pyface.action.schema.schema module

Schema class definitions

This module defines the Schema

class pyface.action.schema.schema.Schema(*items, **traits)

Bases: HasTraits

The abstract base class for all action schemas.

id = Str()

The schema’s identifier (unique within its parent schema).

items = List(SubSchema)

The list of sub-items in the schema. These items can be other (non-top-level) schema or concrete instances from the Pyface API.

create(children)

Create the appropriate pyface.action instance with the specified child items.

class pyface.action.schema.schema.ActionSchema(*items, **traits)

Bases: Schema

Action schema for Pyface Actions.

An action schema cannot have children. It is used as an action factory to make sure a larger schema (e.g., a menu schema) can be used multiple times. Without using an ActionSchema, a reference to the action is added to every menu created from the schema. When one of the menus is destroyed, the action is also destroyed and is made unusable.

action_factory = Callable()

A factory for the Action instance.

items = Property()

Items is overwritten to be empty and read-only to avoid assigning to it by mistake.

create(children)

Create the appropriate Pyface Action instance.

class pyface.action.schema.schema.GroupSchema(*items, **traits)

Bases: Schema

A schema for a Pyface Group.

group_factory = Callable()

A factory for instantiating a pyface Group.

separator = Bool(True)

Does the group require a separator when it is visualized?

create(children)

Create the appropriate pyface.action instance with the specified child items.

class pyface.action.schema.schema.MenuSchema(*items, **traits)

Bases: Schema

A schema for a Pyface MenuManager.

name = Str()

The menu’s user visible name.

separator = Bool(False)

Does the menu require a separator before the menu item?

action = Instance("pyface.action.action.Action")

The default action for tool button when shown in a toolbar (Qt only)

menu_manager_factory = Callable()

A factory for instantiating a pyface MenuManager.

create(children)

Create the appropriate pyface.action instance with the specified child items.

class pyface.action.schema.schema.MenuBarSchema(*items, **traits)

Bases: Schema

A schema for a Pyface MenuBarManager.

id = "MenuBar"

Assign a default ID for menu bar schemas.

menu_bar_manager_factory = Callable()

A factory for instantiating a pyface MenuBarManager.

create(children)

Create the appropriate pyface.action instance with the specified child items.

class pyface.action.schema.schema.ToolBarSchema(*items, **traits)

Bases: Schema

A schema for a Pyface ToolBarManager.

id = "ToolBar"

Assign a default ID for tool bar schemas.

name = Str("Tool Bar")

The tool bar’s user visible name. Note that this name may not be used on all platforms.

image_size = Tuple((16, 16))

The size of tool images (width, height).

orientation = Enum("horizontal", "vertical")

The orientation of the toolbar.

show_divider = Bool(True)

Should we display the horizontal divider?

show_tool_names = Bool(True)

Should we display the name of each tool bar tool under its image?

tool_bar_manager_factory = Callable()

A factory for instantiating a pyface ToolBarManager

create(children)

Create the appropriate pyface.action instance with the specified child items.
