This script enables you to use PySide or PyQt4 with Houdini. Main differences from default pyqt_houdini.py are:
-
opportunity to have several widgets open at the same time
-
automaticly apply Houdini-style ui design
-
implemented 3 different modes. It is not required other functions , rather your widget inherits from one of following classes :
- widget: a simple window opening . Works if the widget is created from QWidget or QMainWindow. Main function showUi returns a pointer to widget object.
- dialog: opens the window blocks Houdinis window. To do this you need to create a widget that inherits from QDialog. showUi returns result of the dialogue (bool) and a pointer to the dialogue object.
- menu: If the widget is inherited from QMenu, the menu will open at the current cursor position . showUi returns a pointer to the selected QAction
