Group of docks organised in tabs/larger dock

[Ruben de Groote]

Hi everyone,

I would like to implement the following. 

I have several files that I would like to analyse, with the option of looking at a few simultaneously. Each analysis requires a group of widgets, organised in some docks. Is there a way to put each group of docks in a separate tab or a separate pyqtgraph dock?

Many thanks!

Ruben

Use QTabWidget, with one DockArea inside each tab page.

Alright. Two small follow-up questions

1. Is there a way to prevent the user from moving a dock from one tab to the other?

2. Is there a way to prevent the user from closing (i.e. x-ing out) of a torn-off tab?

No and No  :)

If you'd like to give this a shot, my recommendation is to give each Dock two new properties: 

    * closable (bool, default=False) sets the window unclosable if the dock is torn out. 

        This would be implemented in DockArea.floatDock()

    * allowedAreas (list or None) contains the DockArea(s) that this Dock may attach to. If None (the default), then any area is allowed.

        This would be implemented in DockDrop.dragMoveEvent().
