| PackageDescription | framework for Tango Control System CLI and GUI applications.
TAURUS is a library for connecting client side applications (command-line
interfaces and graphical user interfaces) to TANGO device servers, mainly
developed by CELLS Alba Synchrotron Controls Section. TAURUS is built on top
of PyTango which is a python binding for the Tango library. It provides an
abstraction layer that allows TANGO to be accessed in a pythonic, object
oriented way. For the GUI part, TAURUS is built on top of the graphical
library PyQt which is a python binding for Qt.
.
The goals of this library are:
Provide a simple Tango API to the end-user application
Speed up development of tango based applications
Provide a standardized look-and-feel
.
In many aspects, TAURUS follows the same approach as the TANGO Java
Application Tool Kit: Tango ATK. If you know ATK, TAURUS will look familiar.
.
The TAURUS library is divided into two parts: the core module which handles
all interaction with PyTango and the Qt module which provides a collection of
widgets that can be used inside any PyQt based GUI.
.
This package contains the documentation for the python-taurus library. |
