Description (last modified by Russell Taylor) (diff)
#4311 fixed things so you can see the docstring of our wrapped (by QtProxyObject) MantidPlot python objects. However, the signature always shows as (*args, **kwargs) - the signature of the CrossThreadCall dispatch method. If the docstring was auto-generated by sip, you do see the real signature below, but it would be nice to fix this.
This should be possible in a manner similar to that in which the Mantid algorithm signatures are fixed up. The place to look is line 556 of simpleapi.py. We would have to use the inspect module to figure out the real signature and reform a "new" function object.

I don't think this is a big deal. There are much bigger fish to fry (and lots of them).
