evedataviewer.gui.app module

evedataviewer app.

This module provides the high-level interface to the app and a function that gets wired up as “gui_script” entry point in the setup.py.

evedataviewer.gui.app.splash_screen()

Create a splash screen normally used during GUI startup.

Depending on the complexity of a GUI main window, startup may take some time. Hence, it is good practice to present the user with a splash screen as immediate feedback that something is happening in the background.

Usually, a splash screen will present an image and perhaps a message.

Returns:

splash – Splash screen object

Necessary to interact with the splash screen, e.g., set messages and finally remove it from the screen.

Return type:

PySide6.QtWidgets.QSplashScreen

evedataviewer.gui.app.main()
