No easy way to close split view #9

Open Carreau opened 12 years ago

I don't find how to close split view.

Also , a split view is not attached to a tab, so if you change tabs the split beneath stay the same. Is it by design ?

I would have put split inside tabs, and not tabs inside split. Does what I say make sens ?

The split view have only a shortcut to close it (hiding). Maybe I have to put a button for this...

The split view is a general place shared for all the tabs. I understand what you proposed, I asked me that too.

I decided this design because splitting inside each tab was a lot of code to do (because the way the Qsplitter and Qtabswidgets are implemented in Qt).

Maybe, with more time and help I can provide what you want.

Well, it's still alpha, so it's fine. it's up to you to see what you want to do. This is already a great addition to the notebook. Maybe Fernando will talk about it at SciPy.

Yes, Fernando told me that he want to show it in SciPy, but I do not know if he will have enough time to play with it (I had to delay the release because I had a flu last week). FYI, I submitted vIPer (called before IPython Viewer) for a talk in SciPy 2012 and it was accepted! But also, I applied for the SciPy sponsorship, and I did not get it (competitive enviroment, hehe)... and the journey from Argentina to Texas is long (no only in miles, also and mostly, in money). So I had to cancel my talk. Maybe the next year...
