qumbia-tango-controls is written in Qt in order to combine together the Qt cumbia-qtcontrols and the cumbia-tango module together. It provides a higher level interface to use graphical elements and QObjects from the Qt library and connect them to the tango control system.

apps

These applications (and their documentation, that has already been mentioned in the Tutorials table above) must be installed from the qumbia-apps sub-directory of the cumbia-libs distribution. To install them, cd into that folder and execute:

qmake
make
sudo make install

Along the applications executables and documentation, two bash scripts will be installed:

/etc/bash_completion.d/cumbia
/etc/bash/bashrc.d/cumbia.sh

They define shortcuts for the common operations provided by the qumbia-apps applications as follows:

Applications (command line)	description	app
cumbia new project	create a new cumbia project	qumbia-apps/qumbiaprojectwizard
cumbia import	migrate a QTango project into cumbia	qumbia-apps/qumbiaprojectwizard
cumbia new control	write a cumbia control reader or writer	qumbia-apps/qumbianewcontrolwizard
cumbia ui make	run cuuimake to generate qt+cumbia ui_*.h files	qumbia-apps/cuuimake
cumbia client	run a generic cumbia client	qumbia-apps/cumbia_client

bash auto completion will help you use these shortcuts: try

cumbia <TAB>

or

cumbia new <TAB>

Main classes

CuTControlsReader and CuTReaderFactory to create, start, stop, pause, modify and destroy readers.
CuTControlsWriter and CuTWriterFactory to create, execute and destroy writers.
CuEpControlsUtils helper utilities, for example to replace wildcards within readers' sources and writers' targets.

Other classes implement strategy patterns to manage contextual menus for plots and plot updates, QuTPlotContextMenuStrategy and QuTPlotUpdateStrategy.
