New shortcuts:

  • The QApp and Puzzle name arguments are no longer required when creating a Puzzle. The QApp still needs to be created in non-IPython contexts, but it can now be inferred by the Piece.
  • You can directly accesss a Piece's params by indexing it like a dictionary:
puzzle["piece"]["param_name"]
# is now equivalent to
puzzle["piece"].params["param_name"]

New features:

  • A slider parameter type - displays a slider and a value label. Min and max values, as well as the step size, are defined on creation.
  • First extra submodule - DataGrids allow for storing and interacting with data using the param abstractions in a table format. Can be added to a Piece's custom_layout to enable new data manipulation tasks.

Fixes and enhancements:

  • add_piece now returns the Piece instance (useful if a class is being passed for instantiation)
  • v_step argument when creating spinboxes changes the step of the box's buttons.
  • Popups now close when the Puzzle is closed.
  • Default param values are cast to the right type on creation.
  • IPython exception handler is now inserted correctly even if puzzle.process_events() is called in the cell that creates the Puzzle.
  • Pieces can now be instantiated without a parent Puzzle. This allows for using the Piece as a standalone Widget in an environment where only one Piece is needed, or a Puzzle cannot be set up, but is in general not advised.
  • Option to hide the bottom buttons of a Puzzle (Tree, Export, STOP)
  • All code has been re-formatted using ruff.
