Color Printing

Sets up the color print (cprint) output destination

cprint_set_output_destination(window, multiline_key)

Parameter Descriptions:

Type Name Meaning
Window window The window that the cprint call will route the output to
Any multiline_key Key for the Multiline Element where output will be sent
None RETURN None

Color print to a multiline element in a window of your choice. Must have EITHER called cprint_set_output_destination prior to making this call so that the window and element key can be saved and used here to route the output, OR used the window and key parameters to the cprint function to specicy these items.

args is a variable number of things you want to print.

end - The end char to use just like print uses sep - The separation character like print uses text_color - The color of the text key - overrides the previously defined Multiline key window - overrides the previously defined window to output to background_color - The color of the background colors -(str, str) or str. A combined text/background color definition in a single parameter

There are also "aliases" for text_color, background_color and colors (t, b, c) t - An alias for color of the text (makes for shorter calls) b - An alias for the background_color parameter c - Tuple[str, str] - "shorthand" way of specifying color. (foreground, backgrouned) c - str - can also be a string of the format "foreground on background" ("white on red")

With the aliases it's possible to write the same print but in more compact ways: cprint('This will print white text on red background', c=('white', 'red')) cprint('This will print white text on red background', c='white on red') cprint('This will print white text on red background', text_color='white', background_color='red') cprint('This will print white text on red background', t='white', b='red')

    t = None,
    background_color = None,
    b = None,
    colors = None,
    c = None,
    window = None,
    key = None)

Parameter Descriptions:

Type Name Meaning
Any *args stuff to output
str text_color Color of the text
str background_color The background color of the line
str) or Tuple[str, str] colors Either a tuple or a string that has both the text and background colors
str t Color of the text
str b The background color of the line
str) or Tuple[str, str] c Either a tuple or a string that has both the text and background colors
str end end character
str sep separator character
Any key key of multiline to output to (if you want to override the one previously set)
Window window Window containing the multiline to output to (if you want to override the one previously set)
None RETURN None

Debug Window Output

Works like a "print" statement but with windowing options. Routes output to the "Debug Window"

In addition to the normal text and background colors, you can use a "colors" tuple/string The "colors" or "c" parameter defines both the text and background in a single parm. It can be a tuple or a single single. Both text and background colors need to be specified colors -(str, str) or str. A combined text/background color definition in a single parameter c - Tuple[str, str] - Colors tuple has format (foreground, backgrouned) c - str - can also be a string of the format "foreground on background" ("white on red")

(int, int) size (w,h) w=characters-wide, h=rows-high
str end end character
str sep separator character
Tuple[int, int] location Location of upper left corner of the window
str or Tuple[str, int] font specifies the font family, size, etc
bool no_titlebar If True no titlebar will be shown
bool no_button don't show button
bool grab_anywhere If True: can grab anywhere to move the window (Default = False)
str background_color color of background
str text_color color of the text
bool keep_on_top If True the window will remain above all current windows
Tuple[int, int] location Location of upper left corner of the window
bool do_not_reroute_stdout do not reroute stdout
str) or Tuple[str, str] colors Either a tuple or a string that has both the text and background colors
str) or Tuple[str, str] c Either a tuple or a string that has both the text and background colors
bool erase_all If True when erase the output before printing

easy_print_close()

QtStyle class for elemnts css attrbites

Easy to use:

  1. Make a QtStyle object: test1 = QtStyle(...)
  2. fill properties with test1['key'] = val:
test1['margin'] = 5
test1['margin'] = (10, 20)
  1. build css
css = test1.build_css_string()
print(css)
...

API

# step 1 - make a style
ss = QtStyle(QLabel, widget__object_name)
ss = QtStyle('QGroupBox', a_objectname, ':title', psg_element=element)

# step 2 - add fields
ss['font'] = create_style_from_font()
ss['background-color'] = (color, color_default)
ss['color'] = (color, color_default)
# step 2.1 - add additions
ss.append_css_to_end.append(" QScrollBar:vertical { ... some css here ...  } ")
# step 2.2 - add anchor
ss.my_subelement_anchor = '::chunk'

# step 3 - build result
css_str = ss.build_css_string()
qt_widget.setStyleSheet(css_str)

====== Special fields
- font
- margin
Why they are special? Because of the formatting.

Radio Element

Radio - select 1 choice from button group of radios

Radio(text,
    group_id,
    default = False,
    disabled = False,

    pad = None,
    size = (None, None),
    size_px = (None, None),
    text_color = None,
    tooltip = None,
    visible = True)

Parameter Descriptions:

Type Name Meaning
str text Text to display next to button
Any group_id Groups together multiple Radio Buttons. Any type works
bool default Set to True for the one element of the group you want initially selected
bool disabled set disable state
Tuple[int, int] size (width, height) width = characters-wide, height = rows-high
bool auto_size_text if True will size the element to match the length of the text
str vertical_alignment Place it at the 'top', 'vcenter', 'bottom', 'baseline' of the row (can also use 't','cv' or 'c','b', 'bs' or 'bl'). Defaults to no setting (it automatically decides)
str horizontal_alignment Place it at the 'left', 'hcenter', 'right', 'justify' of the row (can also use 'l','ch' or 'cc','r', 'j'). Defaults to no setting (it automatically decides)
str background_color color of background
str text_color color of the text
str or Tuple[str, int] font specifies the font family, size, etc
Any key Used with window.FindElement and with return values to uniquely identify this element
str or int or tuple or object k Same as the Key. You can use either k or key. Which ever is set will be used.
(int, int or (int, int),(int,int) or int,(int,int)) or ((int, int),int) pad Amount of padding to put around element (left/right, top/bottom) or ((left, right), (top, bottom))
str tooltip text, that will appear when mouse hovers over the element
bool change_submits DO NOT USE. Only listed for backwards compat - Use enable_events instead
bool enable_events Turns on the element specific events. Radio Button events happen when an item is selected
bool visible set visibility state of the element
Tupple[int, int] (width, height) size_px size in pixels (width, height). Will override the size parameter
Any metadata User metadata that can be set to ANYTHING
