+# Decorators
+
+## Move to thread decorators
+
+`superqt` provides two decorators that help to ensure that given function is
+running in the desired thread:
+
+* `ensure_main_thread` - ensures that the decorated function/method runs in the main thread
+* `ensure_object_thread` - ensures that a decorated bound method of a `QObject` runs in the
+  thread in which the instance lives ([qt
+  documentation](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/threads-qobject.html#accessing-qobject-subclasses-from-other-threads)).
+
+By default, functions are executed asynchronously (they return immediately with
+an instance of
+[`concurrent.futures.Future`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futures.Future)).
+To block and wait for the result, see [Synchronous mode](#synchronous-mode)
+
+```python
+from superqt.qtcompat.QtCore import QObject
+from superqt import ensure_main_thread, ensure_object_thread
+
+@ensure_main_thread
+def sample_function():
+    print("This function will run in main thread")
+
+
+class SampleObject(QObject):
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+        self._value = 1
+
+    @ensure_main_thread
+    def sample_method1(self):
+        print("This method will run in main thread")
+
+    @ensure_object_thread
+    def sample_method3(self):
+        import time
+        print("sleeping")
+        time.sleep(1)
+        print("This method will run in object thread")
+
+    @property
+    def value(self):
+        print("return value")
+        return self._value
+
+    @value.setter
+    @ensure_object_thread
+    def value(self, value):
+        print("this setter will run in object thread")
+        self._value = value
+```
+
+As can be seen in this example these decorators can also be used for setters.
+
+These decorators should not be used as replacement of Qt Signals but rather to
+interact with Qt objects from non Qt code.
+
+### Synchronous mode
+
+If you'd like for the program to block and wait for the result of your function
+call, use the `await_return=True` parameter, and optionally specify a timeout.
+
+> *Note: Using synchronous mode may significantly impact performance.*
+
+```python
+from superqt import ensure_main_thread
+
+@ensure_main_thread
+def sample_function1():
+    return 1
+
+@ensure_main_thread(await_return=True)
+def sample_function2():
+    return 2
+
+assert sample_function1() is None
+assert sample_function2() == 2
+
+# optionally, specify a timeout
+@ensure_main_thread(await_return=True, timeout=10000)
+def sample_function():
+    return 1
+
+```

+    color : ValidColor, optional
+        Color for the font, by default None. (e.g. The default `QColor`)

+    animation : Animation, optional
+        Animation for the icon.  A subclass of superqt.fonticon.Animation, that provides
+        a concrete `animate` method. (see "spin" and "pulse" for examples).
+        by default None.
+    transform : QTransform, optional

+
+    When called, the decorated function returns a :class:`WorkerBase`.  See
+    :func:`create_worker` for additional keyword arguments that can be used
+    when calling the function.
+
+    The returned worker will have these signals:
+
+        - *started*: emitted when the work is started
+        - *finished*: emitted when the work is finished
+        - *returned*: emitted with return value
+        - *errored*: emitted with error object on Exception
+
+    It will also have a ``worker.start()`` method that can be used to start
+    execution of the function in another thread. (useful if you need to connect
+    callbacks to signals prior to execution)
+
+    If the decorated function is a generator, the returned worker will also
+    provide these signals:
+
+        - *yielded*: emitted with yielded values
+        - *paused*: emitted when a running job has successfully paused
+        - *resumed*: emitted when a paused job has successfully resumed
+        - *aborted*: emitted when a running job is successfully aborted
+
+    And these methods:
+
+        - *quit*: ask the thread to quit
+        - *toggle_paused*: toggle the running state of the thread.
+        - *send*: send a value into the generator.  (This requires that your
+          decorator function uses the ``value = yield`` syntax)
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    function : callable
+        Function to call in another thread.  For communication between threads
+        may be a generator function.
+    start_thread : bool, optional
+        Whether to immediaetly start the thread.  If False, the returned worker
+        must be manually started with ``worker.start()``. by default it will be
+        ``False`` if the ``_connect`` argument is ``None``, otherwise ``True``.
+    connect : Dict[str, Union[Callable, Sequence]], optional
+        A mapping of ``"signal_name"`` -> ``callable`` or list of ``callable``:
+        callback functions to connect to the various signals offered by the
+        worker class. by default None
+    worker_class : Type[WorkerBase], optional
+        The :class`WorkerBase` to instantiate, by default
+        :class:`FunctionWorker` will be used if ``func`` is a regular function,

+# This is a variant on the above pattern, it uses QThread instead of Qrunnable
+# see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/threads-technologies.html#comparison-of-solutions
+# (it appears from that table that QRunnable cannot emit or receive signals,
+# but we circumvent that here with our WorkerBase class that also inherits from
+# QObject... providing signals/slots).
+#
+# A benefit of the QRunnable pattern is that Qt manages the threads for you,
+# in the QThreadPool.globalInstance() ... making it easier to reuse threads,
+# and reduce overhead.
+#
+# However, a disadvantage is that you have no access to (and therefore less
+# control over) the QThread itself.  See for example all of the methods
+# provided on the QThread object: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qthread.html

+    """This is a convenience function to start a worker in a Qthread.
+
+    In most cases, the @thread_worker decorator is sufficient and preferable.
+    But this allows the user to completely customize the Worker object.
+    However, they must then maintain control over the thread and clean up
+    appropriately.
+
+    It follows the pattern described here:
+    https://www.qt.io/blog/2010/06/17/youre-doing-it-wrong
+    and
+    https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qthread.html#details
+
+    see also:
+    https://mayaposch.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/how-to-really-truly-use-qthreads-the-full-explanation/
+
+    A QThread object is not a thread! It should be thought of as a class to
+    *manage* a thread, not as the actual code or object that runs in that
+    thread.  The QThread object is created on the main thread and lives there.
+
+    Worker objects which derive from QObject are the things that actually do
+    the work. They can be moved to a QThread as is done here.
+
+    .. note:: Mostly ignorable detail
+
+        While the signals/slots syntax of the worker looks very similar to
+        standard "single-threaded" signals & slots, note that inter-thread
+        signals and slots (automatically) use an event-based QueuedConnection,
+        while intra-thread signals use a DirectConnection. See `Signals and
+        Slots Across Threads
+        <https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/threads-qobject.html#signals-and-slots-across-threads>`_
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    Worker : QObject
+        QObject type that implements a `work()` method.  The Worker should also
+        emit a finished signal when the work is done.
+    _start_thread : bool
+        If True, thread will be started immediately, otherwise, thread must
+        be manually started with thread.start().
+    _connect : dict, optional
+        Optional dictionary of {signal: function} to connect to the new worker.
+        for instance:  _connect = {'incremented': myfunc} will result in:
+        worker.incremented.connect(myfunc)
+    *args
+        will be passed to the Worker class on instantiation.
+    **kwargs
+        will be passed to the Worker class on instantiation.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    worker : WorkerBase
+        The created worker.
+    thread : QThread
+        The thread on which the worker is running.
