Hello!

I'm working with PyQtGraph to use the flowchart component. I'm building an application to automate a sequence. The user is supposed to draw a process as a flowchart/diagram which the application can then execute.

Do you think this library can be used to accomplish this? From what I understand the flowchart is mostly geared towards data manipulation... (input data -> do something with data with flowchart nodes -> output data)

Is there a way to embed the flowchart viewbox in my main window? Ideally I want to display the flowchart next to a toolbox where nodes can be dragged from. Right now it only opens from the control widget in a seperate window.

Thanks!

Felix

Hi Felix,

Sorry it's been so long since you got a response, I recently discovered that gmail was putting a bunch of the group mail list messages in my spam directory.

Regarding the flow-chart, I think it should be able to handle that. That said, that part of the library has gone a very long time without getting attention. I can only think of 1 PR that references it in the last few years (there may be more, but I can just recall 1). I don't personally use it myself so I'm not in a good position to explain it one way or the other.
