Fiatlight command line utility

The fiatlight command line utility is a powerful tool that allows you to explore the available widgets and types in Fiatlight. It can be used to list the available types, to print the GUI info for a given type, and to run a GUI demo for a given type.

Here is the help message for the fiatlight command line utility (ignore the %%bash magic command, it is used to run bash commands in Jupyter notebooks):

%%bash
fiatlight --help

List registered types

The types command lists the registered types in Fiatlight. You can filter the types by adding an optional query.

In the example below, we will run the fiatlight types str command to list all the types that contain the string “str”.

%%bash
fiatlight types str

Notes:

• If you do not include the str argument, all the types will be printed.

Print the GUI info for a given type

The gui_info command prints the GUI info for a given type. You can specify the GUI type name or the data type name as an argument. If you do not provide a type name, all the GUI widget names will be printed.

Example: Print the GUI info for StrWithGui

In the example below, we will run the fiatlight gui_info StrWithGui command to print the GUI info for the StrWithGui widget.

%%bash
fiatlight gui str

Example: Print the GUI info for ImageWithGui

%%bash
fiatlight gui ImageWithGui
