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>.
