new-gui.mp4 =========== This video shows how you can use a wizard to guide you through a few steps to create a TaurusGUI to control a system based on Sardana 0:15 You just give a name, choose a logo 0:25 ...allow the GUI to interrogate sardana for discovering control system elements 0:35 ...and hit “next” a couple of times 0:37 This creates an application that can be invoked 0:50 and contains panels to control the sardana instruments, launch scans, edit automation scripts (macros),..etc demo_taurus.mp4 =============== Now I'll show another example. A pure Taurus GUI that was created by adding several panels in a similar way as shown before for the Sardana application. 0:07 we launch a demo GUI based on TaurusGUI This is the first time we launch it, so the panels are just floating We can place them where we like (they can be put next to each other, or made into tabs, or hidden...) 0:46 Now we can see how the synoptic can be used to navigate through the panels: clicking on an instrument in the synoptic brings the corresponding panel... and the other way around, focusing into a panel highlights the corresponding instrument on the synoptic 1:07 But these GUIs can be unlocked and modified on the fly by adding more panels 1:27 Here we created an empty form And populate it by drag-and-drop of taurus models from other widgets... 1:50 the drag and drop can be done also from other taurus applications 2:33 And you can for example drag from a form to a trend plot to see the evolution of a value 2:40 Once we have the application looking as we want, we ca save its state (we call it a “perspective”) 3:05 Different perspectives are available on the same application, to adapt to different tasks or user preferences 3:15 And these perspectives are usable even after restarting the application 3:40 This has been a summary of how you can create and then customize a TaurusGUI
