wx.lib.analogclock¶AnalogClock - an analog clock.
This control creates an analog clock window. Its features include shadowing, the ability to render numbers as well as any arbitrary polygon as tick marks, resize marks and hands proportionally as the widget itself is resized, rotate marks in a way the get aligned to the watch. It also has a dialog, accessed via a context menu item, allowing one to change on the fly all of its settings.
Usage:
- AnalogClock(parent, id=-1, pos=wx.DefaultPosition,
- size=wx.DefaultSize, style=wx.NO_BORDER, name=”AnalogClock”, clockStyle=DEFAULT_CLOCK_STYLE, minutesStyle=TICKS_CIRCLE, hoursStyle=TICKS_POLY)
parent, id, pos, size, style and name are used as in a wx.Window. Please refer to the wx.Window docs for more details.
clockStyle defines the clock style, according to the options below:
SHOW_QUARTERS_TICKS Show marks for hours 3, 6, 9, 12 SHOW_HOURS_TICKS Show marks for all hours SHOW_MINUTES_TICKS Show marks for minutes SHOW_HOURS_HAND Show hours hand SHOW_MINUTES_HAND Show minutes hand SHOW_SECONDS_HAND Show seconds hand SHOW_SHADOWS Show hands and marks shadows ROTATE_TICKS Align tick marks to watch OVERLAP_TICKS Draw tick marks for minutes even when they match the hours marks. DEFAULT_CLOCK_STYLE The same as SHOW_HOURS_TICKS| SHOW_MINUTES_TICKS| SHOW_HOURS_HAND| SHOW_MINUTES_HAND| SHOW_SECONDS_HAND| SHOW_SHADOWS|ROTATE_TICKS
minutesStyle and hoursStyle define the the tick styles, according to the options below:
TICKS_NONE Don’t show tick marks. TICKS_SQUARE Use squares as tick marks. TICKS_CIRCLE Use circles as tick marks. TICKS_POLY Use a polygon as tick marks. A polygon can be passed using SetTickPolygon, otherwise the default polygon will be used. TICKS_DECIMAL Use decimal numbers as tick marks. TICKS_ROMAN Use Roman numbers as tick marks. TICKS_BINARY Use binary numbers as tick marks. TICKS_HEX Use hexadecimal numbers as tick marks.
Notes:
The ‘target’ keyword that’s present in various of the AnalogClock methods may accept one (or more, combined using ‘|’) of the following values:
HOUR The values passed/retrieved are related to the hours hand/ticks MINUTE The values passed/retrieved are related to the minutes hand/ticks SECOND The values passed/retrieved are related to the seconds hand/ticks ALL The same as HOUR|MINUTE|SECOND, i. e., the values passed/retrieved are related to all of the hours hands/ticks. This is the default value in all methods.
It is legal to pass target=ALL to methods that don’t handle seconds (tick mark related methods). In such cases, ALL will be equivalent to HOUR|MINUTE.
All of the ‘Get’ AnalogClock methods that allow the ‘target’ keyword will always return a tuple, e. g.:
GetHandSize(target=HOUR) Returns a 1 element tuple, containing the size of the hours hand. GetHandSize(target=HOUR|MINUTE) Returns a 2 element tuple, containing the sizes of the hours and the minutes hands, respectively. GetHandSize(target=ALL) Returns a 3 element tuple, containing or the sizes of the hours, minutes and GetHandSize() seconds hands, respectively.
About:
Most of the ideas and part of the code of AnalogClock were based on the original wxPython’s AnalogClock module, which was created by several folks on the wxPython-users list.
AnalogClock is distributed under the wxWidgets license.
This code should meet the wxPython Coding Guidelines <http://www.wxpython.org/codeguidelines.php> and the wxPython Style Guide <http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/wxPython_20Style_20Guide>.
