# Package container

source code

    Container classes are classes that are used to transport data between the
    model thread and the GUI thread.

    When complex data sets need to be visualized (eg.: charts, intervals), built-in
    python types don't contain enough information, while dictionary like structures
    are not self documented.  Hence the need of specialized container classes to
    transport this data between the model and the GUI.

    To use this classes :

    1. On your model class, define properties returning a container class
    2. In the admin class, add the property to the list of fields to visualize, and
       specify its delegate

    eg:

    class MyEntity(Entity):

      @property
      def my_interval(self):
        return IntervalsContainer()

      class Admin(EntityAdmin):
        form_display = ['my_interval']
        field_attributes = dict(my_interval=dict(delegate=IntervalsDelegate))
