class util.rtValuesDialog.Param(default: T, min: T, max: T, help: str = '', log: bool = False)

Bases: Generic

Class used by the WorkerProcess objects to describe each parameter that can be modified at run time. min, max, help, and log are used primarily in conjuction with the RTValuesDialog dialog to implement an interface in the main process to allow a user to control these parameters in real time.

default: T
min: T
max: T
help: str = ''
log: bool = False
__init__(default: T, min: T, max: T, help: str = '', log: bool = False) → None
class util.rtValuesDialog.SliderInfo(slider: Scale, typ: Type, log: bool)

Bases: object

A slider in an RTValueDialog, with its value’s type and whether its scale is logarithmic.

slider: Scale
typ: Type
log: bool
__init__(slider: Scale, typ: Type, log: bool) → None
class util.rtValuesDialog.RTValueDialog(parent, title='Attribute Editor', disabled=False)

Bases: Toplevel

A dialog of sliders, one per Param, for adjusting a running program’s parameters.
