Built-in Parameter Types

Parameters

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.ActionParameter(**opts)

Used for displaying a button within the tree.

sigActivated(self) is emitted when the button is clicked.

itemClass

alias of pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.action.ActionParameterItem

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.CalendarParameter(**opts)

Displays a Qt calendar whose date is specified by a ‘format’ option.

Options:
format	Format for displaying the date and converting from a string. Can be any value accepted by QDate.toString and fromString, or a stringified version of a QDateFormat enum, i.e. ‘ISODate’, ‘TextDate’ (default), etc.

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.ChecklistParameter(**opts)

Can be set just like a ListParameter, but allows for multiple values to be selected simultaneously.

Options
exclusive	When False, any number of options can be selected. The resulting value() is a list of all checked values. When True, it behaves like a list type – only one value can be selected. If no values are selected and exclusive is set to True, the first available limit is selected. The return value of an exclusive checklist is a single value rather than a list with one element.

itemClass

alias of pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.checklist.ChecklistParameterItem

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.ColorMapParameter(*args, **kargs)

itemClass

alias of pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.colormap.ColorMapParameterItem

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.ColorParameter(*args, **kargs)

itemClass

alias of pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.color.ColorParameterItem

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.FileParameter(**opts)

Interfaces with the myriad of file options available from a QFileDialog.

Note that the output can either be a single file string or list of files, depending on whether fileMode=’ExistingFiles’ is specified.

Note that in all cases, absolute file paths are returned unless relativeTo is specified as elaborated below.

Options:
parent	Dialog parent
winTitle	Title of dialog window
nameFilter	File filter as required by the Qt dialog
directory	Where in the file system to open this dialog
selectFile	File to preselect
relativeTo	Parent directory that, if provided, will be removed from the prefix of all returned paths. So, if ‘/my/text/file.txt’ was selected, and relativeTo=’my/text/’, the return value would be ‘file.txt’. This uses os.path.relpath under the hood, so expect that behavior.
kwargs	Any enum value accepted by a QFileDialog and its value. Values can be a string or list of strings, i.e. fileMode=’AnyFile’, options=[‘ShowDirsOnly’, ‘DontResolveSymlinks’]

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.FontParameter(**opts)

Creates and controls a QFont value. Be careful when selecting options from the font dropdown. since not all fonts are available on all systems

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.GroupParameter(**opts)

Group parameters are used mainly as a generic parent item that holds (and groups!) a set of child parameters.

It also provides a simple mechanism for displaying a button or combo that can be used to add new parameters to the group. To enable this, the group must be initialized with the ‘addText’ option (the text will be displayed on a button which, when clicked, will cause addNew() to be called). If the ‘addList’ option is specified as well, then a dropdown-list of addable items will be displayed instead of a button.

addNew(typ=None)

This method is called when the user has requested to add a new item to the group. By default, it emits sigAddNew(self, typ).

itemClass

alias of pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.basetypes.GroupParameterItem

setAddList(vals)

Change the list of options available for the user to add to the group.

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.ListParameter(**opts)

Parameter with a list of acceptable values.

By default, this parameter is represtented by a ListParameterItem, displaying a combo box to select a value from the list.

In addition to the generic Parameter options, this parameter type accepts a limits argument specifying the list of allowed values.

The values may generally be of any data type, as long as they can be represented as a string. If the string representation provided is undesirable, the values may be given as a dictionary mapping the desired string representation to the value.

itemClass

alias of pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.list.ListParameterItem

setLimits(limits)

Change the list of allowed values.

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.PenParameter(**opts)

Controls the appearance of a QPen value.

When saveState is called, the value is encoded as (color, width, style, capStyle, joinStyle, cosmetic)

Options:
color	pen color, can be any argument accepted by mkColor() (defaults to black)
width	integer width >= 0 (defaults to 1)
style	String version of QPenStyle enum, i.e. ‘SolidLine’ (default), ‘DashLine’, etc.
capStyle	String version of QPenCapStyle enum, i.e. ‘SquareCap’ (default), ‘RoundCap’, etc.
joinStyle	String version of QPenJoinStyle enum, i.e. ‘BevelJoin’ (default), ‘RoundJoin’, etc.
cosmetic	Boolean, whether or not the pen is cosmetic (defaults to True)

mkPen(*args, **kwargs)

Thin wrapper around fn.mkPen which accepts the serialized state from saveState

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.ProgressBarParameter(**opts)

Displays a progress bar whose value can be set between 0 and 100

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.SimpleParameter(*args, **kargs)

Parameter representing a single value.

This parameter is backed by WidgetParameterItem to represent the following parameter names through various subclasses:

• ‘int’

• ‘float’

• ‘bool’

• ‘str’

• ‘color’

• ‘colormap’

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.SliderParameter(**opts)

Options
limits	[start, stop] numbers
step:	Defaults to 1, the spacing between each slider tick
span:	Instead of limits + step, span can be set to specify the range of slider options (e.g. np.linspace(-pi, pi, 100))
format:	Format string to determine number of decimals to show, etc. Defaults to display based on span dtype
precision:	int number of decimals to keep for float tick spaces

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.TextParameter(**opts)

Editable string, displayed as large text box in the tree.

itemClass

alias of pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.text.TextParameterItem

class pyqtgraph.parametertree.parameterTypes.GroupParameterItem(param, depth)

Group parameters are used mainly as a generic parent item that holds (and groups!) a set of child parameters. It also provides a simple mechanism for displaying a button or combo that can be used to add new parameters to the group.

addChanged()
