pyface.data_view.abstract_value_type module

Provides an AbstractValueType ABC for Pyface data models.

This module provides an ABC for data view value types, which are responsible for adapting raw data values as used by the data model’s get_value and set_value methods to the data channels that the data view expects, such as text, color, icons, etc.

It is up to the data view to take this standardized data and determine what and how to actually display it.

class pyface.data_view.abstract_value_type.CheckState(value)[source]

Bases: IntEnum

Possible checkbox states

UNCHECKED = 0
CHECKED = 1
class pyface.data_view.abstract_value_type.AbstractValueType[source]

Bases: ABCHasStrictTraits

A value type converts raw data into data channels.

The data channels are editor value, text, color, image, and description. The data channels are used by other parts of the code to produce the actual display.

Subclasses should mark traits that potentially affect the display of values with update_value_type=True metdadata, or alternatively fire the updated event when the state of the value type changes.

Each data channel is set up to have a method which returns whether there is a value for the channel, a second method which returns the value, and an optional third method which sets the channel value. These methods should not raise an Exception, eveen when called inappropriately (eg. calling a “get” method after a “has” method has returned False).

updated = Event

Fired when a change occurs that requires updating values.

has_editor_value(model, row, column)[source]

Return whether or not the value can be edited.

The default implementation is that cells that can be set are editable.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

has_editor_value – Whether or not the value is editable.

Return type

bool

get_editor_value(model, row, column)[source]

Return a value suitable for editing.

The default implementation is to return the underlying data value directly from the data model.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

value – The value to edit.

Return type

Any

set_editor_value(model, row, column, value)[source]

Set a value that is returned from editing.

The default implementation is to set the value directly from the data model. Returns True if successful, False if it fails.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

  • value (Any) – The value to set.

Raises

DataViewSetError – If the value cannot be set.

has_text(model, row, column)[source]

Whether or not the value has a textual representation.

The default implementation returns True if get_text returns a non-empty value.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

has_text – Whether or not the value has a textual representation.

Return type

bool

get_text(model, row, column)[source]

The textual representation of the underlying value.

The default implementation calls str() on the underlying value.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

text – The textual representation of the underlying value.

Return type

str

set_text(model, row, column, text)[source]

Set the text of the underlying value.

This is provided primarily for backends which may not permit non-text editing of values, in which case this provides an alternative route to setting the value. The default implementation does not allow setting the text.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

  • text (str) – The text to set.

Raises

DataViewSetError – If the value cannot be set.

has_color(model, row, column)[source]

Whether or not the value has color data.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

has_color – Whether or not the value has data-associated color values.

Return type

bool

get_color(model, row, column)[source]

Get data-associated colour values for the given item.

The default implementation returns white.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

color – The color associated with the cell.

Return type

Color

has_image(model, row, column)[source]

Whether or not the value has an image associated with it.

The default implementation returns True if get_image returns a non-None value.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

has_image – Whether or not the value has an image associated with it.

Return type

bool

get_image(model, row, column)[source]

An image associated with the underlying value.

The default implementation returns None.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

image – The image associated with the underlying value.

Return type

IImage

has_check_state(model, row, column)[source]

Whether or not the value has checked state.

The default implementation returns False.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

has_check_state – Whether or not the value has a checked state.

Return type

bool

get_check_state(model, row, column)[source]

The state of the item check box.

The default implementation returns “checked” if the value is truthy, or “unchecked” if the value is falsey.

Parameters

  • model (AbstractDataModel) – The data model holding the data.

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

Returns

check_state – The current checked state.

Return type

CheckState

set_check_state(model, row, column, check_state)[source]

Set the checked state of the underlying value.

The default implementation does not allow setting the checked state.

Parameters

  • row (sequence of int) – The row in the data model being queried.

  • column (sequence of int) – The column in the data model being queried.

  • check_state (CheckState) – The check state value to set.

has_tooltip(model, row, column)[source]
