Info widget

[aljosahafner]

A widget that can be connected to any point in the beamline (most likely detector) and provide info on:

• distances between OEs and to the source
• names of OEs
• number of calculation points
• other...

I will start working on this very soon.

Version 1:

• Out object will be: WiserBeamline, which is a LibWiser beamline? Or the last/connected optical element?
• The widget will display print(beamline) command from LibWiser

This is good.
On this note (native scripts) I have some more comments.

I did extensive use, for instance, of the "GetBeamline" script

Generally, I am also using other "OASYS Snippets" that can be useful while using oasys canvas (see below).
The problem is that I did not found an easy way to gather all these "pre-written" python widget in a unique place, where they can be picked up from. Every time I have to open the *.ow file that contains them, copy the code, paste it to the python widget in the destination canvas, rename the widget with a meaningful name.

OASYS was not conceived for creating "libraries" of python scripts, so I am not complaining :-)
But maybe we can find a common strategy toghether.
For instance I saw that SRW has a section called "native scripts". We could think about something similar.

If you already have these codes, then it is very easy to convert to a widget, especially those such as GetBeamline, Check Source Name, etc.

For my own reference: use AutomaticWidget class for this and NOT WiserWidget.

Great, it's working.

Some More features

• Add another tab named "Python Code", displaying the automatically generated code (see below).
• Add a button, with label "Copy code to clipboard"
• In Output-tab, use Beamline>Print() rathern than print(Beamline)

import clipboard
B = GetWiserBeamline(in_object_1)
out_object = B
BeamlineCode = B.GenerateCode()
print(BeamlineCode)
clipboard.copy(BeamlineCode)
