phoenix_title wx.lib.agw.ultimatelistctrl.PyImageList

A PyImageList contains a list of images. Images can have masks for transparent drawing, and can be made from a variety of sources including bitmaps and icons.

PyImageList is used in conjunction with UltimateListCtrl.

Note

The main improvements that PyImageList introduces is the removal of the limitation of same-size images inside the image list. If you use the style IL_VARIABLE_SIZE then each image can have any size (in terms of width and height).

class PyImageList(object)

A PyImageList contains a list of images. Images can have masks for transparent drawing, and can be made from a variety of sources including bitmaps and icons.

PyImageList is used in conjunction with UltimateListCtrl.

Note

The main improvements that PyImageList introduces is the removal of the limitation of same-size images inside the image list. If you use the style IL_VARIABLE_SIZE then each image can have any size (in terms of width and height).


Methods


__init__(self, width, height, mask=True, initialCount=1, style=IL_VARIABLE_SIZE)

Default class constructor.

Parameters:
  • width – the width of the images in the image list, in pixels (unused if you specify the IL_VARIABLE_SIZE style;
  • height – the height of the images in the image list, in pixels (unused if you specify the IL_VARIABLE_SIZE style;
  • mask – True if masks should be created for all images (unused in PyImageList);
  • initialCount – the initial size of the list (unused in PyImageList);
  • style – can be one of the following bits:

    Style Flag Value Description
    IL_FIXED_SIZE 0 All the images in PyImageList have the same size (width, height)
    IL_VARIABLE_SIZE 1 Each image can have any size (in terms of width and height)

Add(self, bitmap)

Adds a new image or images using a bitmap.

Parameters:bitmap – a valid wx.Bitmap object.
Returns:The new zero-based image index.

Note

If the bitmap is wider than the images in the list and you are not using the IL_VARIABLE_SIZE style, then the bitmap will automatically be split into smaller images, each matching the dimensions of the image list.


AddIcon(self, icon)

Adds a new image using an icon.

Parameters:icon – a valid Icon object.
Returns:The new zero-based image index.

Note

If the icon is wider than the images in the list and you are not using the IL_VARIABLE_SIZE style, then the icon will automatically be split into smaller images, each matching the dimensions of the image list.


AddWithColourMask(self, bitmap, maskColour)

Adds a new image or images using a bitmap and a colour mask.

Parameters:
  • bitmap – a valid wx.Bitmap object;
  • colour – an instance of wx.Colour, a colour indicating which parts of the image are transparent.
Returns:

The new zero-based image index.

Note

If the bitmap is wider than the images in the list and you are not using the IL_VARIABLE_SIZE style, then the bitmap will automatically be split into smaller images, each matching the dimensions of the image list.


Draw(self, index, dc, x, y, flags, solidBackground=True)

Draws a specified image onto a device context.

Parameters:
  • index – the image index, starting from zero;
  • dc – an instance of wx.DC;
  • x – x position on the device context;
  • y – y position on the device context;
  • flags – how to draw the image. A bitlist of a selection of the following:

    Flag Paarameter Description
    wx.IMAGELIST_DRAW_NORMAL Draw the image normally
    wx.IMAGELIST_DRAW_TRANSPARENT Draw the image with transparency
    wx.IMAGELIST_DRAW_SELECTED Draw the image in selected state
    wx.IMAGELIST_DRAW_FOCUSED Draw the image in a focused state
  • solidBackground – currently unused.

GetBitmap(self, index)

Returns the bitmap corresponding to the given index, or NullBitmap if the index is invalid.

Parameters:index – the bitmap index.

GetIcon(self, index)

Returns the icon corresponding to the given index, or NullIcon if the index is invalid.

Parameters:index – the icon index.

GetImageCount(self)

Returns the number of images in the list.


GetSize(self, index)

Retrieves the size of an image in the list.

Parameters:index – the zero-based index of the image.
Returns:a tuple of (width, height) properties of the chosen bitmap.

Remove(self, index)

Removes the image at the given position.

Parameters:index – the zero-based index of the image to be removed.

RemoveAll(self)

Removes all the images in the list.


Replace(self, index, bitmap)

Replaces the existing image with the new bitmap.

Parameters:
  • index – the index at which the image should be replaced;
  • bitmap – the new bitmap to add to the image list, an instance of wx.Bitmap.

ReplaceIcon(self, index, icon)

Replaces the existing image with the new icon.

Parameters:
  • index – the index at which the image should be replaced;
  • icon – the new icon to add to the image list, an instance of Icon.
