FloatSpin implements a floating point SpinCtrl. It is built using a custom wx.Control, composed by a TextCtrl and a SpinButton. In order to correctly handle floating points numbers without rounding errors or non-exact floating point representations, FloatSpin uses the great FixedPoint class from Tim Peters.

class FloatSpin(wx.Control)

FloatSpin implements a floating point SpinCtrl. It is built using a custom wx.Control, composed by a TextCtrl and a SpinButton. In order to correctly handle floating points numbers without rounding errors or non-exact floating point representations, FloatSpin uses the great FixedPoint class from Tim Peters.


Methods

__init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=(95, -1), style=0, value=0.0, min_val=None, max_val=None, increment=1.0, digits=-1, agwStyle=FS_LEFT, name="FloatSpin")

Default class constructor.

Parameters

  • parent – the FloatSpin parent;

  • id – an identifier for the control: a value of -1 is taken to mean a default;

  • 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 window style;

  • value – is the current value for FloatSpin;

  • min_val – the minimum value, ignored if None;

  • max_val – the maximum value, ignored if None;

  • increment – the increment for every FloatSpinEvent event;

  • digits – number of representative digits for your floating point numbers;

  • agwStyle – one of the following bits:

    Window Styles

    Hex Value

    Description

    FS_READONLY

    0x1

    Sets FloatSpin as read-only control.

    FS_LEFT

    0x2

    Horizontally align the underlying TextCtrl on the left.

    FS_CENTRE

    0x4

    Horizontally align the underlying TextCtrl on center.

    FS_RIGHT

    0x8

    Horizontally align the underlying TextCtrl on the right.

  • name – the window name.


ClampValue(self, var)

Clamps var between _min and _max depending if the range has been specified.

Parameters

var – the value to be clamped.

Returns

A clamped copy of var.


DoGetBestSize(self)

Gets the size which best suits the window: 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.Control.

Send the event to the parent.


GetDefaultValue(self)

Returns the FloatSpin default value.

GetIncrement(self)

Returns the increment for every EVT_FLOATSPIN event.


GetMax(self)

Returns the maximum value for FloatSpin. It can be a number or None if no minimum is present.


GetMin(self)

Returns the minimum value for FloatSpin. It can be a number or None if no minimum is present.


GetSnapToTicks(self)

Returns whether the snap to ticks option is active or not.


GetTextCtrl(self)

Returns the underlying TextCtrl.


GetValue(self)

Returns the FloatSpin value.


HasRange(self)

Note

This method works on the underlying TextCtrl.


OnDestroy(self, event)

Parameters

event – a wx.WindowDestroyEvent event to be processed.

Note

This method tries to correctly handle the control destruction under MSW.

Handles the wx.EVT_SET_FOCUS event for FloatSpin.

Parameters

event – a FocusEvent event to be processed.


OnKillFocus(self, event)

Handles the wx.EVT_KILL_FOCUS event for FloatSpin.

Parameters

event – a FocusEvent event to be processed.

Parameters

event – a MouseEvent event to be processed.


OnSize(self, event)

Handles the wx.EVT_SIZE event for FloatSpin.

Parameters

event – a wx.SizeEvent event to be processed.

Note

This method resizes the text control and reposition the spin button when resized.

Handles the wx.EVT_SPIN_DOWN event for FloatSpin.

Parameters

event – a SpinEvent event to be processed.


OnSpinMouseDown(self, event)

Handles the wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN event for FloatSpin.

Parameters

ReplaceDoubleZero(self, strs)

Replaces the (somewhat) python ugly +e000 with +e00.

Parameters

strs – a string (possibly) containing a +e00 substring.


SetDefaultValue(self, defaultvalue)

Sets the FloatSpin default value.

Parameters

defaultvalue – a floating point value representing the new default value for FloatSpin.


SetDigits(self, digits=-1)

Sets the number of digits to show.

Parameters

digits – the number of digits to show. If digits < 0, FloatSpin tries to calculate the best number of digits based on input values passed in the constructor.


SetFont(self, font=None)

Sets the underlying TextCtrl font.

Parameters

font – a valid instance of wx.Font.


SetFormat(self, fmt="%f")

Set the string format to use.

Parameters

fmt – the new string format to use. One of the following strings:

Format

Description

’e’

Floating point exponential format (lowercase)

’E’

Floating point exponential format (uppercase)

’f’

Floating point decimal format

’F’

Floating point decimal format

’g’

Floating point format. Uses lowercase exponential format if exponent is less than -4 or not less than precision, decimal format otherwise

’G’

Floating point format. Uses uppercase exponential format if exponent is less than -4 or not less than precision, decimal format otherwise


SetIncrement(self, increment)

Sets the increment for every EVT_FLOATSPIN event.

Parameters

increment – a floating point number specifying the FloatSpin increment.


SetRange(self, min_val, max_val)

Sets the allowed range.

Parameters

  • min_val – the minimum value for FloatSpin. If it is None it is ignored;

  • max_val – the maximum value for FloatSpin. If it is None it is ignored.

Note

This method doesn’t modify the current value.

Note

You specify open ranges like this (you can equally do this in the constructor):

SetRange(min_val=1, max_val=None)
SetRange(min_val=None, max_val=0)

or no range:

SetRange(min_val=None, max_val=None)

SetRangeDontClampValue(self, min_val, max_val)

Sets the allowed range.

Parameters

  • min_val – the minimum value for FloatSpin. If it is None it is ignored;

  • max_val – the maximum value for FloatSpin. If it is None it is ignored.

Note

This method doesn’t modify the current value.


SetSnapToTicks(self, forceticks=True)

Force the value to always be divisible by the increment. Initially False.

Parameters

forceticks – True to force the snap to ticks option, False otherwise.

Note

This uses the default value as the basis, you will get strange results for very large differences between the current value and default value when the increment is very small.


SetToDefaultValue(self)

Sets FloatSpin value to its default value.


SetValue(self, value)

Sets the FloatSpin value.

Parameters

value – the new value.


SyncSpinToText(self, send_event=True, force_valid=True)

Synchronize the underlying TextCtrl with SpinButton.

Parameters

  • send_event – True to send a EVT_FLOATSPIN event, False otherwise;

  • force_valid – True to force a valid value (i.e. inside the provided range), False otherwise.
