[PyQt] FW: cascadeSubWindows oversized--Conclusion
There is a Conclusion to this enquiry. C1) With PyQt (4), support from collaborative colleagues is particularly valuable. So that to find out the “right” place where to share experiences and tech.info is particularly relevant. C2) The other side of this same coin is that you cannot entirely rely only upon the available PyQt (4) documentation. Therefore my Operative conclusion is: O1) To rely upon the “RiverbankComputing.com PyQt Mailing List”, as in this actual “cascade” case. O2) To share in that List my possibly useful s/w fragments as a reward and to the benefit of other fellow colleagues. -- I'd appreciate your thoughts, especially if in some disagreement with my Conclusions. See you. - P.M. ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

You can also look at the PyQt and PyKDE Wiki for code samples: http://www.diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/ Really, I should have added the example I wrote to the SampleCode page on that Wiki, but I didn't really consider it to be complete enough for that. http://www.diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/SampleCode David ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

No David, It wouldn't do, in the sense that: -- “.tileSubWindows” method works fine, whereas -- “.cascadeSubWindows” doesn't, on exactly the very same situation. And that is the problem. - P.M.

And that is the problem. OK, so you really need a way to cascade all the windows across the MDI area, but it resizes them so that they are too big?

I think you will need to write a function to do this, using the QMdiArea's subWindowList() method to get the subwindows. There are lots of constraints you could apply to the way windows are positioned and resized. This cascade() method might do something similar to what you want, but it's difficult to get the details right without more information: class MdiArea(QMdiArea): def cascade(self): if len(self.subWindowList()) 2: return windows = [] for window in self.subWindowList(): windows.append((window.width(), window.height(), window)) windows.sort() x = 0 y = 0 endX = self.width() - min(windows[-1][0], self.width()) endY = self.height() - min(windows[-1][1], self.height()) for i in range(len(windows)): x = i * endX/(len(windows) - 1) y = i * endY/(len(windows) - 1) width, height, window = windows[i] window.move(x, y) window.resize(min(width, self.width() - x), min(height, self.height() - y)) window.raise_() David ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
