A Parameter is the basic unit of data in a parameter tree. Each parameter has
a name, a type, a value, and several other properties that modify the behavior of the
Parameter. Parameters may have parent / child / sibling relationships to construct
organized hierarchies. Parameters generally do not have any inherent GUI or visual
interpretation; instead they manage ParameterItem instances which take care of
display and user interaction.
Note: It is fairly uncommon to use the Parameter class directly; mostly you
will use subclasses which provide specialized type and data handling. The static
pethod Parameter.create(...) is an easy way to generate instances of these subclasses.
For more Parameter types, see ParameterTree.parameterTypes module.
=================================== =========================================================
**Signals:**
sigStateChanged(self, change, info) Emitted when anything changes about this parameter at
all.
The second argument is a string indicating what changed
('value', 'childAdded', etc..)
The third argument can be any extra information about
the change
sigTreeStateChanged(self, changes) Emitted when any child in the tree changes state
(but only if monitorChildren() is called)
the format of *changes* is [(param, change, info), ...]
sigValueChanged(self, value) Emitted when value is finished changing
sigValueChanging(self, value) Emitted immediately for all value changes,
including during editing.
sigChildAdded(self, child, index) Emitted when a child is added
sigChildRemoved(self, child) Emitted when a child is removed
sigParentChanged(self, parent) Emitted when this parameter's parent has changed
sigLimitsChanged(self, limits) Emitted when this parameter's limits have changed
sigDefaultChanged(self, default) Emitted when this parameter's default value has changed
sigNameChanged(self, name) Emitted when this parameter's name has changed
sigOptionsChanged(self, opts) Emitted when any of this parameter's options have changed
