Contants

Even though GraphDonkey is widely customizable, there are a predefined set of constants that exist throught the system. These cannot be changed and are used on numerous occasions. If you are making a plugin, you might want to use some of them to link with the overall system settings.

These constants are located in the main.extra.Contants module, which is ideally imported as follows to prevent collisions.

from main.extra import Constants

It contains the following values:

Constant	Meaning
APP_NAME	The name of the app, e.g. GraphDonkey.
APP_VERSION	The current version of the app, following the SemVer versioning system
APP_VERSION_NAME	The name of the app version.
APP_ICON	A QIcon reference to the GraphDonkey icon.
LINE_ENDING	The QTextEdit line/block separator \u2029.
BRACKETS	The list of pairs that define the default (open, close) sets.
FILE_TYPES	A list of fallback filenames used in the plugin export system.

Additionally, there are a few functions there that handle with easy creation and lookup for filetype dictionaries like the FILE_TYPES dict.
