# samsifter.models package

Models of entities involved in SamSifter workflows.

This package includes classes modeling entities such as

- tools/filters
- parameters for these tools
- lists and trees of tools
- entire workflows

that are used as data models for the SamSifter GUI.

## filter module

Abstraction of filters and other tools usable in POSIX pipelines.

class `FilterItem`(text=None, desc=None, icon=':/view-filter.png')

  Bases: `PyQt4.QtGui.QStandardItem`

  Representation of filter tool in item-based views.

  This class can abstract any tool that takes line-based input from STDIN, logs messages to STDERR and writes output to STDOUT. It is used to represent this tool in item-based views by means of an icon and descriptive text.

  Each item has a list of parameters as well as input and output requirements in terms file format, sort order and compression.

  `ICON_ANALYZER` = ':/x-office-spreadsheet.png'
  `ICON_CONVERTER` = ':/applications-other.png'
  `ICON_FILTER` = ':/view-filter.png'
  `ICON_SORTER` = ':/view-sort-ascending.png'
  `add_parameter`(parameter)

    Append parameter to list of parameters.

    Parameters: | parameter (FilterParameter) – Parameter to be added to this filter.

  `clone`()

    Creates new instance with identical settings.

    Returns: | Exact clone of this filter item.
    Return type: | FilterItem

  `commandline`(basenames=False)

    Prints full bash command line for filter with all parameters.

    Parameters: | basenames (bool) – Shorten file paths to filename only, defaults to False.
    Returns: | Command to execute filter with all parameters.
    Return type: | str

## filter_model module

Filter models for trees and lists.

Implementations of the standard Qt4 item-based models for trees (2 dimensions) and lists (1 dimension).

Warning

Drag&Drop is not fully implemented due to restrictions on the binary encoding of C++ objects using Python’s `pickle`. Pickling support is required to encode filter items to MIME on initiation of a drag event as well as to decode an item from MIME at the end of a drop event. However this would require the implementation of (de)serialization methods for the entire hierarchy of PyQt-wrapped C++ classes that are used in this project and currently don’t support `pickle`.

Thus, I have decided to simply override the double-click behaviour on filter items to emulate the drag&drop action with a similarly intuitive click&clone action. See `samsifter.models.filter.FilterItem.clone()` and `samsifter.samsifter.MainWindow.init_ui()` for details.

class `FilterListModel`(parent=None)

  Bases: `PyQt4.QtCore.QAbstractListModel`

  One-dimensional list model for filter items.

  Represents data as a simple non-hierarchical sequence of items.

  `__repr__`()

    String representation of model for debugging.

  `data`(index, role=0)

    Supplies item data to views and delegates.

    Generally, models only need to supply data for Qt.DisplayRole and any application-specific Qt.AccessibleTextRole, and Qt.AccessibleDescriptionRole. See the Qt.ItemDataRole enum documentation for information about the types associated with each role.

    Implements abstract Qt4 base method.

    Parameters: | index (QModelIndex) – Model index of requested content item. role (int) – Qt item data role, defaults to DisplayRole.
    Returns: | any – Depending on model data and requested role. None – If index is invalid.

  `flags`(index)

    Provides view with Qt flags for item at given index.

    Must return an appropriate combination of flags for each item. In particular, the value returned by this function must include Qt::ItemIsEditable in addition to the values applied to items in a read-only model.

    Used by other components to obtain information about each item provided by the model. In many models, the combination of flags should include Qt::ItemIsEnabled and Qt::ItemIsSelectable.

    Implements abstract Qt4 method.

    Parameters: | index (QModelIndex) – Model index of requested item.
    Returns: | Combination of bit flags for item properties.
    Return type: | int

    Remove several rows at once.

    Used to remove rows and the items of data they contain from all types of model. Implementations must call beginRemoveRows() before inserting new columns into any underlying data structures, and call endRemoveRows() immediately afterwards.

    Implements abstract Qt4 base method.

    Parameters: | row (int) – Start row of the range to be removed. count (int) – Number of rows to be removed including the start row. parent (QModelIndex, optional) – Parent of the item to be removed, defaults to invalid index.
