"""

from pymmcore_plus import CMMCorePlus
from qtpy.QtWidgets import QApplication

API

Bases: QPushButton

Button that snaps an image with the current camera.

Clicking it calls CMMCorePlus.snap in a separate thread (so the GUI stays responsive), which emits the imageSnapped event. If live mode is running, it is stopped first.

See the ImagePreview example for this widget combined with an image preview and other controls.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
parent QWidget | None

Optional parent widget.

 None
mmcore CMMCorePlus | None

Optional pymmcore_plus.CMMCorePlus micromanager core. By default, None. If not specified, the widget will use the active (or create a new) CMMCorePlus.instance.

 None
