initialize charts

This is boilerplate code for the initial setup of the GUI plots, once a specific type of plot has been chosen. Note that chart-specific update logic within each type of plot is specified in its own corresponding file.

For instance: For spike rate plots, refer to python file such as view > plot > spike_rate.py

Contains one main function setup_layout, and a supporting function for each type of GUI layout, i.e. (1) Spike Finding - a combination of different plots (2) Noise - only electrode noise related plots (3) Spike Search - only channel trace plots (4) Diagnostic (not developed yet)

setup_layout(app, layout, CURRENT_THEME, themes, NUM_CHANNELS_PER_BUFFER)

Runs initial setup to load all the charts and their basic information for a given layout (i.e. Spike Finding, Trace Search, Noise, etc.)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
app		reference to the MainWindow container	required
layout	str	name of window type (list specified by SessionStartupGUI.settings["visStyle"])	required
CURRENT_THEME	str		required
themes	dict		required

Returns:

Type	Description
(bool) whether set up was successful (int) NUM_CHANNELS_PER_BUFFER
