Detailed Description

property widget for properties representing collection of parameters.

pqPropertyCollectionWidget is designed for a specific use-case: a group of properties on a proxy all of which are repeatable vector properties (i.e. vtkSMVectorProperty subclasses) where each repeatable item in the collection is to be edited together. Another way of describing the same is that each vector property in the group defines a column in a table with user having the ability to add and remove rows to this table. However, instead of showing a literal tabular widget to edit values in each row, a prototype proxy definition is provided using hints.

Example proxy definition(s) that use this widget is as follows:

<SourceProxy class="vtkSteeringDataGenerator" name="Oscillators">
  <DoubleVectorProperty name="Center"
                        command="SetTuple3Double"
                        use_index="1"
                        clean_command="Clear"
                        initial_string="coords"
                        number_of_elements_per_command="3"
                        repeat_command="1">
  </DoubleVectorProperty>
  <IntVectorProperty name="Type"
                     command="SetTuple1Int"
                     clean_command="Clear"
                     use_index="1"
                     initial_string="type"
                     number_of_elements_per_command="1"
                     repeat_command="1">
  </IntVectorProperty>
  <PropertyGroup label="Oscillators" panel_widget="PropertyCollection">
    <Property name="Center" function="PrototypeCenter" />
    <Property name="Type" function="PrototypeType" />
    <!-- here, "name" identifies the property on this proxy, while
         "function" identifies the property on the prototype proxy. If
         "function" is not specified, same value as "name" is assumed. -->
    <Hints>
      <PropertyCollectionWidgetPrototype group="misc" name="OscillatorPrototype" />
    </Hints>
  </PropertyGroup>
</SourceProxy>

The prototype proxy to use to build the UI for each row in this table that has two columns for "Center" and "Type" is identified using the PropertyCollectionWidgetPrototype hint added to the PropertyGroup element. Following is an example definition:

<ProxyGroup name="misc">
  <Proxy name="OscillatorPrototype" label="Oscillator" >
    <DoubleVectorProperty name="PrototypeCenter"
                          label="Center"
                          number_of_elements="3"
                          default_values="0 0 0">
      <DoubleRangeDomain name="range" />
      <Documentation>
        Specify center for the oscillator.
      </Documentation>
    </DoubleVectorProperty>
    <IntVectorProperty name="PrototypeType"
                       label="Type"
                       number_of_elements="1"
                       default_values="0">
      <EnumerationDomain name="enum">
        <Entry text="damped" value="0" />
        <Entry text="decaying" value="1" />
        <Entry text="periodic" value="2" />
      </EnumerationDomain>
    </IntVectorProperty>
  </Proxy>
</ProxyGroup>

A few things to note:

Only vtkSMVectorProperty subclasses are supported and types must match between the property in the group and corresponding property on the prototype proxy.
For each property in the group, the number_of_elements_per_command matches the number_of_elements on the corresponding property on the prototype proxy.
