virtual QUndoCommand *mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e)#

Respond to user-input events.

Parameters:: e – The QEvent object.
Returns:: A QUndoCommand that can be used to undo any changes to the molecule. If no undoable change is made, the method may return nullptr.

virtual QUndoCommand *mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent *e)#

Respond to user-input events.

Parameters:: e – The QEvent object.
Returns:: A QUndoCommand that can be used to undo any changes to the molecule. If no undoable change is made, the method may return nullptr.

virtual QUndoCommand *mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *e)#

Respond to user-input events.

Parameters:: e – The QEvent object.
Returns:: A QUndoCommand that can be used to undo any changes to the molecule. If no undoable change is made, the method may return nullptr.

virtual QUndoCommand *mouseDoubleClickEvent(QMouseEvent *e)#

Respond to user-input events.

Parameters:: e – The QEvent object.
Returns:: A QUndoCommand that can be used to undo any changes to the molecule. If no undoable change is made, the method may return nullptr.

virtual QUndoCommand *wheelEvent(QWheelEvent *e)#

Respond to user-input events.

Parameters:: e – The QEvent object.
Returns:: A QUndoCommand that can be used to undo any changes to the molecule. If no undoable change is made, the method may return nullptr.

virtual QUndoCommand *keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)#

Respond to user-input events.

Parameters:: e – The QEvent object.
Returns:: A QUndoCommand that can be used to undo any changes to the molecule. If no undoable change is made, the method may return nullptr.

virtual QUndoCommand *keyReleaseEvent(QKeyEvent *e)#

Respond to user-input events.

Parameters:: e – The QEvent object.

Public Functions

explicit ToolPlugin(QObject *parent = nullptr)#

~ToolPlugin() override#

virtual QString name() const = 0#: The name of the tool, will be displayed in the user interface.

virtual QString description() const = 0#: A description of the tool, may be displayed in the user interface.

virtual unsigned char priority() const = 0#: A priority of the tool for sorting in the user interface.

virtual QAction *activateAction() const = 0#

Returns:: The QAction that will cause this tool to become active.

virtual void setIcon(bool darkTheme = false) = 0#: Set the tool icon (based on dark / light theme).

virtual QWidget *toolWidget() const = 0#

Returns:: A QWidget that will be displayed to the user while this tool is active.

virtual void draw(Rendering::GroupNode &node)#: Override this method to add drawables to the scene graph.

virtual bool handleCommand(const QString &command, const QVariantMap &options)#

Called by the app to handle a command registered by the plugin. (e.g., “renderMovie” or “drawAtom”, etc.)

The app will turn the command into a string and pass it to the tool. and any options will go from a JSON dictionary to a QVariantMap.

Returns:: true if the command was handled, false otherwise.

inline virtual void registerCommands()#: Called by the app to tell the tool to register commands. If the tool has commands, it should emit the registerCommand signals.

Public Slots

virtual void setMolecule(QtGui::Molecule *mol) = 0#: Called when the current molecule changes.

inline virtual void setEditMolecule(QtGui::RWMolecule*)#

inline virtual void setGLWidget(QtOpenGL::GLWidget*)#: Set the GLWidget used by the tool.

inline virtual void setActiveWidget(QWidget*)#: Set the active widget used by the tool, this can be anything derived from QWidget.

inline virtual void setGLRenderer(Rendering::GLRenderer*)#: Set the GLRenderer used by the tool.

Signals

void drawablesChanged()#: Emitted when draw() needs to be called again due to updates.

void updateRequested()#: Emitted when something changed (camera, etc) and the molecule should be redrawn.

void registerCommand(QString command, QString description)#

Register a new command with the application. The command will be available through scripting (e.g., “renderMovie” or “generateSurface”, etc.)
