tight layout of dockarea

[Hanan Shteingart]

Hi,

I am new here so sorry if I ask a too easy question.

I am trying to use dockarea but I cannot find any proper documentation of the init function.

Anyway, I am trying to put a table in one dock (left) and a plot on the other (right).

The problem is that the docks takes half of the window by default.

I am trying to find a way to resize the dock so it tightly occupy the widget inside it. 

Currently I have a layout widget in each dock and a table widget on the left dock and a plot widget on the right dock.

I've tried to play with geometry properties but it doesn't seem the right answer.  How do I define the DockArea layout?

Thanks,

Hanan

The code looks something like:

dock_area = DockArea()
mw.setCentralWidget(dock_area)
dock_metadata = Dock("Table") ## give this dock the minimum possible size
dock_data = Dock("Plot")
dock_area.addDock(dock_metadata, 'left') ## place metadata on the left (it will fill the whole space since there are no other docks yet)
dock_area.addDock(dock_data, 'right', dock_metadata) ## place data at right edge of metadata
# set metadata dock widget content
layout_metadata = pg.LayoutWidget()
tw = pg.TableWidget()
layout_metadata.addWidget(tw)
dock_metadata.addWidget(layout_metadata)
# set data dock widget content
layout_data = pg.LayoutWidget()
pw = pg.PlotWidget(name='Plot', axisItems={'bottom': DateAxisItem(orientation='bottom')}) ## giving the plots names allows us to link their axes together
layout_data.addWidget(pw)
dock_data.addWidget(layout_data)
