class PyGauge(wx.Window)

This class provides a visual alternative for Gauge. It currently only support determinate mode (see PyGauge.SetValue() and PyGauge.SetRange()).


Methods


__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, range=100, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=(-1, 30), style=0)

Default class constructor.

Parameters:
  • parent – parent window. Must not be None;
  • id – window identifier. A value of -1 indicates a default value;
  • pos – the control position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
  • size – the control size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
  • style – the underlying wx.Window window style.

DoGetBestSize(self)

Gets the size which best suits PyGauge: for a control, it would be the minimal size which doesn’t truncate the control, for a panel - the same size as it would have after a call to Fit().

Note

Overridden from wx.Window.


GetBarColour(self)

Returns the PyGauge main bar colour.


GetBarGradient(self)

Returns a tuple containing the gradient start and end colours.


GetBorderColour(self)

Returns the PyGauge border colour.


GetBorderPadding(self)

Gets the border padding.


GetRange(self)

Returns the maximum value of the gauge.


GetValue(self)

Returns the current position of the gauge.


OnEraseBackground(self, event)

Handles the wx.EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND event for PyGauge.

Parameters:event – a EraseEvent event to be processed.

Note

This method is intentionally empty to reduce flicker.


OnPaint(self, event)

Handles the wx.EVT_PAINT event for PyGauge.

Parameters:event – a PaintEvent event to be processed.

OnTimer(self, event)

Handles the wx.EVT_TIMER event for PyGauge.

Parameters:event – a TimerEvent event to be processed.

SetBarColour(self, colour)

Sets the PyGauge main bar colour.

Parameters:colour – an instance of wx.Colour.

SetBarGradient(self, gradient)

Sets the bar gradient.

Parameters:gradient – a tuple containing the gradient start and end colours.

Note

This overrides the bar colour previously set with PyGauge.SetBarColour.


SetBorderColour(self, colour)

Sets the PyGauge border colour.

Parameters:colour – an instance of wx.Colour.

SetBorderPadding(self, padding)

Sets the border padding.

Parameters:padding – pixels between the border and the progress bar.

SetDrawValue(self, draw=True, drawPercent=True, font=None, colour=wx.BLACK, formatString=None)

Sets whether percentage or current value should be drawn on the gauge for precise indication.

Parameters:
  • draw (bool) – a boolean value, which if True tells to start drawing value or percentage. If set to False nothing will be drawn and other parameters will be ignored;
  • drawPercent (bool) – a boolean value which indicates that a percent should be drawn instead of value passed in SetValue;
  • font (wx.Font) – a font with which indication should be drawn, if None, then wx.NORMAL_FONT will be used. Usually text would be displayed centered in the control, but if the text font is too large to be displayed (either in width or height) the corresponding coordinate will be set to zero;
  • colour (wx.Colour) – the colour with which indication should be drawn, if None then wx.BLACK will be used;
  • formatString (string) – a string specifying format of the indication (should have one and only one number placeholder). If set to None, will use {:.0f} format string for values and {:.0f}% format string for percentages. As described in http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language.

Note

formatString will override addition of percent sign (after value) even if drawPercent is True.

New in version 0.9.7.


SetRange(self, range)

Sets the range of the gauge. The gauge length is its value as a proportion of the range.

Parameters:range – The maximum value of the gauge.

SetValue(self, value)

Sets the current position of the gauge.

Parameters:value – an integer specifying the current position of the gauge.

SortForDisplay(self)

Internal method which sorts things so we draw the longest bar first.


Update(self, value, time=0)

Update the gauge by adding value to it over time milliseconds. The time parameter must be a multiple of 50 milliseconds.

Parameters:
  • value – The value to be added to the gauge;
  • time – The length of time in milliseconds that it will take to move the gauge.
