In pyqtgraph, Docks can be torn out of the DockArea by dragging or double clicking. The popups use a default icon. I would like to define my own icon. In the code below I set the application window. The same code has no effect on the dock, though there is no error message.
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget, QApplication, QVBoxLayout
from pyqtgraph.dockarea import Dock, DockArea
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon
class Foo(QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super().__init__(parent)
self.setWindowIcon(QIcon('direction'))
lay = QVBoxLayout(self)
da = DockArea()
d = Dock("Dock")
d.setWindowIcon(QIcon('direction')) # no effect
da.addDock(d)
lay.addWidget(da)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
w = Foo()
w.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
I looked in the source code of Dock and DockArea of pyqtgraph and found out I had to overwrite floatDock function.
I created a function
def floatDockPatched(self, dock):
"""Removes *dock* from this DockArea and places it in a new window."""
area = self.addTempArea()
area.win.resize(dock.size())
area.win.setWindowIcon(QIcon("res/haip.png"))
area.win.setWindowTitle(dock.label.text())
area.moveDock(dock, 'top', None)
and assigned it to the class as overwrite
DockArea.floatDock = floatDockPatched
