gui: main panel of GUI

enqueue or dequeue fittings

fits -- list of fittings to be queued/dequeued
enter -- True to queue, False to dequeue

close a project

force -- if exit forciably

exit when program finished
        

insert a new instance of Fitting

name      --  unique name for this Fitting
position  --  where Fitting is inserted, default is last place

return: Fitting reference

insert a new instance of Calculation to a Fitting

targetID  --  reference to Fitting
name      --  unique name for this Calculation
position  --  where Calculation is inserted, default is last place

return: Calculation reference

add blank structure to a Fitting

targetID  --  reference to Fitting
name      --  name of the new Structure
position  --  where the structure is to be inserted, default is last

return: Structure reference

add blank structure to a Fitting

targetID  --  reference to Fitting
name      --  name of the new Structure, default is file basename

return: Structure reference

load Dataset from a file to a Fitting

targetID  --  reference to Fitting
name      --  name of the new Dataset, default is file basename
position  --  where the dataset is to be inserted, default is last

return: Dataset reference

add fitting/calculation to internal list

Id -- reference to the object to be inserted
position  --  where the object is to be inserted, default is last

rename Fitting, Calculation, Dataset or Structure
identified by ID

ID:       reference to the object to be renamed
new_name: new name to be given to the object

remove Fitting, Calculation, Dataset or Structure
identified by ID

ID:     reference to the object to be removed
return: removed object

return position index of an object in its owner list

ID  --  ID of object
return: index

copy src object

src -- reference to the source object
return: reference to the copy

paste copied object to target under new_name, the default new_name
will be name of src

dup -- reference to the copied object
target -- target object where the copy should be inserted
new_name -- new name to be given to the copy
position -- where in the target object should the copy be inserted

return: reference to the pasted object

add fits and calculations from pdffit2 script

scriptfile -- path to old pdffit2 script
args       -- optional arguments passed to scriptfile

returns list of imported fits

load project from projfile.

projfile -- a zip file of everything

Save project to projfile, default projfile is self.projfile

This method first writes to a temporary file and only when
successful, it overwrites projfile with the temporary file content.
These steps prevent corruption of existing projects should
something go wrong in the middle of save.  As an added benefit,
all permissions and ownership flags in an existing projfile
are preserved.

Make a 2D plot

xItem --  x data item name
yItems -- list of y data item names
Ids --    Objects where y data items are taken from
shift -- y displacement for each curve
dry -- not a real plot, only check if plot is valid

stop all Fittings
        

set the host machine to be used for fitting

hostCfg -- configuration dictionary of remote host. If it is blank or None,
           self.host will be set to None.

get current host to be used. It can be None if we choose
localhost

return value: proxy instance

Redirect standard out.

This redirect engine output to cStringIO if not done yet.
