\chapter{Standard Windowing Interface}
|
|
|
|
The modules in this chapter are available only on those systems where
|
|
the STDWIN library is available. STDWIN runs on \UNIX{} under X11 and
|
|
on the Macintosh. See CWI report CS-R8817.
|
|
|
|
\strong{Warning:} Using STDWIN is not recommended for new
|
|
applications. It has never been ported to Microsoft Windows or
|
|
Windows NT, and for X11 or the Macintosh it lacks important
|
|
functionality --- in particular, it has no tools for the construction
|
|
of dialogs. For most platforms, alternative, native solutions exist
|
|
(though none are currently documented in this manual): Tkinter for
|
|
\UNIX{} under X11, native Xt with Motif or Athena widgets for \UNIX{}
|
|
under X11, Win32 for Windows and Windows NT, and a collection of
|
|
native toolkit interfaces for the Macintosh.

|
This module defines several new object types and functions that
|
|
provide access to the functionality of STDWIN.
|
|
|
|
On \UNIX{} running X11, it can only be used if the \code{DISPLAY}
|
|
environment variable is set or an explicit \samp{-display
|
|
\var{displayname}} argument is passed to the Python interpreter.
|
|
|
|
Functions have names that usually resemble their C STDWIN counterparts
|
|
with the initial `w' dropped.
|
|
Points are represented by pairs of integers; rectangles
|
|
by pairs of points.
|
|
For a complete description of STDWIN please refer to the documentation
|
|
of STDWIN for C programmers (aforementioned CWI report).
|
|
|

\subsection{Functions Defined in Module \module{stdwin}}
|
|
\nodename{STDWIN Functions}
|
|
|
|
The following functions are defined in the \code{stdwin} module:
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{open}{title}
|
|
Open a new window whose initial title is given by the string argument.
|
|
Return a window object; window object methods are described below.%
|
|
\footnote{The Python version of STDWIN does not support draw procedures; all
|
|
drawing requests are reported as draw events.}
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getevent}{}
|
|
Wait for and return the next event.
|
|
An event is returned as a triple: the first element is the event
|
|
type, a small integer; the second element is the window object to which
|
|
the event applies, or
|
|
\code{None}
|
|
if it applies to no window in particular;
|
|
the third element is type-dependent.
|
|
Names for event types and command codes are defined in the standard
|
|
module
|
|
\code{stdwinevent}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{pollevent}{}
|
|
Return the next event, if one is immediately available.
|
|
If no event is available, return \code{()}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getactive}{}
|
|
Return the window that is currently active, or \code{None} if no
|
|
window is currently active. (This can be emulated by monitoring
|
|
WE_ACTIVATE and WE_DEACTIVATE events.)
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{listfontnames}{pattern}
|
|
Return the list of font names in the system that match the pattern (a
|
|
string). The pattern should normally be \code{'*'}; returns all
|
|
available fonts. If the underlying window system is X11, other
|
|
patterns follow the standard X11 font selection syntax (as used e.g.
|
|
in resource definitions), i.e. the wildcard character \code{'*'}
|
|
matches any sequence of characters (including none) and \code{'?'}
|
|
matches any single character.
|
|
On the Macintosh this function currently returns an empty list.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setdefscrollbars}{hflag, vflag}
|
|
Set the flags controlling whether subsequently opened windows will
|
|
have horizontal and/or vertical scroll bars.

\begin{funcdesc}{setdefwinpos}{h, v}
|
|
Set the default window position for windows opened subsequently.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setdefwinsize}{width, height}
|
|
Set the default window size for windows opened subsequently.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getdefscrollbars}{}
|
|
Return the flags controlling whether subsequently opened windows will
|
|
have horizontal and/or vertical scroll bars.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getdefwinpos}{}
|
|
Return the default window position for windows opened subsequently.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getdefwinsize}{}
|
|
Return the default window size for windows opened subsequently.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getscrsize}{}
|
|
Return the screen size in pixels.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getscrmm}{}
|
|
Return the screen size in millimeters.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{fetchcolor}{colorname}
|
|
Return the pixel value corresponding to the given color name.
|
|
Return the default foreground color for unknown color names.
|
|
Hint: the following code tests whether you are on a machine that
|
|
supports more than two colors:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
if stdwin.fetchcolor('black') <> \
|
|
stdwin.fetchcolor('red') <> \
|
|
stdwin.fetchcolor('white'):
|
|
print 'color machine'
|
|
else:
|
|
print 'monochrome machine'
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setfgcolor}{pixel}
|
|
Set the default foreground color.
|
|
This will become the default foreground color of windows opened
|
|
subsequently, including dialogs.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setbgcolor}{pixel}
|
|
Set the default background color.
|
|
This will become the default background color of windows opened
|
|
subsequently, including dialogs.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getfgcolor}{}
|
|
Return the pixel value of the current default foreground color.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|

|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setfont}{fontname}
|
|
Set the current default font.
|
|
This will become the default font for windows opened subsequently,
|
|
and is also used by the text measuring functions \code{textwidth},
|
|
\code{textbreak}, \code{lineheight} and \code{baseline} below.
|
|
This accepts two more optional parameters, size and style:
|
|
Size is the font size (in `points').
|
|
Style is a single character specifying the style, as follows:
|
|
\code{'b'} = bold,
|
|
\code{'i'} = italic,
|
|
\code{'o'} = bold + italic,
|
|
\code{'u'} = underline;
|
|
default style is roman.
|
|
Size and style are ignored under X11 but used on the Macintosh.
|
|
(Sorry for all this complexity --- a more uniform interface is being designed.)
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{menucreate}{title}
|
|
Create a menu object referring to a global menu (a menu that appears in
|
|
all windows).
|
|
Methods of menu objects are described below.
|
|
Note: normally, menus are created locally; see the window method
|
|
\code{menucreate} below.
|
|
\strong{Warning:} the menu only appears in a window as long as the object
|
|
returned by this call exists.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{newbitmap}{width, height}
|
|
Create a new bitmap object of the given dimensions.
|
|

|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{fleep}{}
|
|
Cause a beep or bell (or perhaps a `visual bell' or flash, hence the
|
|
name).
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{message}{string}
|
|
Display a dialog box containing the string.
|
|
The user must click OK before the function returns.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{askync}{prompt, default}
|
|
Display a dialog that prompts the user to answer a question with yes or
|
|
no.
|
|
Return 0 for no, 1 for yes.
|
|
If the user hits the Return key, the default (which must be 0 or 1) is
|
|
returned.
|
|
If the user cancels the dialog, the
|
|
\code{KeyboardInterrupt}
|
|
exception is raised.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{askstr}{prompt, default}
|
|
Display a dialog that prompts the user for a string.
|
|
If the user hits the Return key, the default string is returned.
|
|
If the user cancels the dialog, the
|
|
\code{KeyboardInterrupt}
|
|
exception is raised.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{askfile}{prompt, default, new}
|
|

|
|
If
|
|
\var{new}
|
|
is zero it must be an existing file; otherwise, it must be a new file.
|
|
If the user cancels the dialog, the
|
|
\code{KeyboardInterrupt}
|
|
exception is raised.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setcutbuffer}{i, string}
|
|
Store the string in the system's cut buffer number
|
|
\var{i},
|
|
where it can be found (for pasting) by other applications.
|
|
On X11, there are 8 cut buffers (numbered 0..7).
|
|
Cut buffer number 0 is the `clipboard' on the Macintosh.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getcutbuffer}{i}
|
|
Return the contents of the system's cut buffer number
|
|
\var{i}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{rotatecutbuffers}{n}
|
|
On X11, rotate the 8 cut buffers by
|
|
\var{n}.

|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getselection}{i}
|
|
Return X11 selection number
|
|
\var{i.}
|
|
Selections are not cut buffers.
|
|
Selection numbers are defined in module
|
|
\code{stdwinevents}.
|
|
Selection \code{WS_PRIMARY} is the
|
|
\dfn{primary}
|
|
selection (used by
|
|
xterm,
|
|
for instance);
|
|
selection \code{WS_SECONDARY} is the
|
|
\dfn{secondary}
|
|
selection; selection \code{WS_CLIPBOARD} is the
|
|
\dfn{clipboard}
|
|
selection (used by
|
|
xclipboard).
|
|
On the Macintosh, this always returns an empty string.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{resetselection}{i}
|
|
Reset selection number
|
|
\var{i},
|
|
if this process owns it.
|
|
(See window method
|
|
\code{setselection()}).
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{baseline}{}
|
|
Return the baseline of the current font (defined by STDWIN as the
|
|
vertical distance between the baseline and the top of the
|
|
characters).
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{lineheight}{}
|
|
Return the total line height of the current font.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{textbreak}{str, width}
|
|
Return the number of characters of the string that fit into a space of
|
|
\var{width}
|
|
bits wide when drawn in the curent font.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{textwidth}{str}
|
|
Return the width in bits of the string when drawn in the current font.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{connectionnumber}{}
|
|
\funcline{fileno}{}
|
|
(X11 under \UNIX{} only) Return the ``connection number'' used by the
|
|
underlying X11 implementation. (This is normally the file number of
|
|
the socket.) Both functions return the same value;
|
|
\code{connectionnumber()} is named after the corresponding function in
|
|
X11 and STDWIN, while \code{fileno()} makes it possible to use the
|
|
\code{stdwin} module as a ``file'' object parameter to
|
|
\code{select.select()}. Note that if \code{select()} implies that
|
|
input is possible on \code{stdwin}, this does not guarantee that an
|
|
event is ready --- it may be some internal communication going on
|
|
between the X server and the client library. Thus, you should call
|
|
\code{stdwin.pollevent()} until it returns \code{None} to check for
|
|
events if you don't want your program to block. Because of internal
|
|
buffering in X11, it is also possible that \code{stdwin.pollevent()}
|
|
returns an event while \code{select()} does not find \code{stdwin} to
|
|
be ready, so you should read any pending events with
|
|
\code{stdwin.pollevent()} until it returns \code{None} before entering
|
|
a blocking \code{select()} call.
|
|
\ttindex{select}
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Window Objects}
|
|
\nodename{STDWIN Window Objects}
|
|
|
|
Window objects are created by \code{stdwin.open()}. They are closed
|
|
by their \code{close()} method or when they are garbage-collected.

|
|
Create a menu object referring to a local menu (a menu that appears
|

\code{getselection()}
|
|
for the meaning of
|
|
\var{i}.)
|
|
Return true if it succeeds.
|
|
If succeeds, the window ``owns'' the selection until
|
|
(a) another application takes ownership of the selection; or
|
|
(b) the window is deleted; or
|
|
(c) the application clears ownership by calling
|
|
\code{stdwin.resetselection(\var{i})}.
|
|
When another application takes ownership of the selection, a
|
|
\code{WE_LOST_SEL}
|
|
event is received for no particular window and with the selection number
|
|
as detail.

Suitable names include
|
|
\code{'ibeam'},
|
|
\code{'arrow'},
|
|
\code{'cross'},
|
|
\code{'watch'}
|
|
and
|
|
\code{'plus'}.
|
|
On X11, there are many more (see
|
|
\file{<X11/cursorfont.h>}).
|
|
\end{sloppypar}
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setwinpos}{h, v}
|
|

|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setactive}{}
|
|
Attempt to make this window the active window. If successful, this
|
|
will generate a WE_ACTIVATE event (and a WE_DEACTIVATE event in case
|
|
another window in this application became inactive).
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{close}{}
|
|
Discard the window object. It should not be used again.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Drawing Objects}
|
|
|
|
Drawing objects are created exclusively by the window method
|
|
\code{begindrawing()}.
|
|
Only one drawing object can exist at any given time; the drawing object
|
|
must be deleted to finish drawing.
|
|
No drawing object may exist when
|
|
\code{stdwin.getevent()}
|
|
is called.
|

Drawing objects have the following methods:
|
|
|
|
\setindexsubitem{(drawing method)}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{box}{rect}

|
|
gives the angles (in degrees) of the begin and end points.
|
|

\begin{funcdesc}{shade}{rect, percent}
|
|
Fill a rectangle with a shading pattern that is about
|
|
\var{percent}
|
|
percent filled.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{text}{p, str}
|
|
Draw a string starting at point p (the point specifies the
|
|
top left coordinate of the string).
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{xorcircle}{center, radius}
|
|
\funcline{xorelarc}{center, \(rh, rv\), \(a1, a2\)}
|
|
\funcline{xorline}{p1, p2}
|
|
\funcline{xorpoly}{points}
|

Draw a circle, an elliptical arc, a line or a polygon, respectively,
|
|
in XOR mode.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setfgcolor}{}
|
|
\funcline{setbgcolor}{}
|
|
\funcline{getfgcolor}{}
|
|
\funcline{getbgcolor}{}
|
|
These functions are similar to the corresponding functions described
|
|
above for the
|
|
\code{stdwin}
|
|
module, but affect or return the colors currently used for drawing
|
|
instead of the global default colors.
|
|
When a drawing object is created, its colors are set to the window's
|
|
default colors, which are in turn initialized from the global default
|
|
colors when the window is created.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setfont}{}
|
|
\funcline{baseline}{}
|
|
\funcline{lineheight}{}
|
|
\funcline{textbreak}{}
|
|
\funcline{textwidth}{}
|
|
These functions are similar to the corresponding functions described
|
|
above for the
|
|
\code{stdwin}
|
|
module, but affect or use the current drawing font instead of
|
|
the global default font.
|
|
When a drawing object is created, its font is set to the window's
|
|
default font, which is in turn initialized from the global default
|
|
font when the window is created.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{bitmap}{point, bitmap, mask}
|
|
Draw the \var{bitmap} with its top left corner at \var{point}.
|
|
If the optional \var{mask} argument is present, it should be either
|
|
the same object as \var{bitmap}, to draw only those bits that are set
|
|
in the bitmap, in the foreground color, or \code{None}, to draw all
|
|
bits (ones are drawn in the foreground color, zeros in the background
|
|
color).
|
|
Not available on the Macintosh.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{cliprect}{rect}
|
|
Set the ``clipping region'' to a rectangle.
|
|
The clipping region limits the effect of all drawing operations, until
|
|
it is changed again or until the drawing object is closed. When a
|
|
drawing object is created the clipping region is set to the entire
|
|
window. When an object to be drawn falls partly outside the clipping
|
|
region, the set of pixels drawn is the intersection of the clipping
|
|
region and the set of pixels that would be drawn by the same operation
|
|
in the absence of a clipping region.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{noclip}{}
|

|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{close}{}
|
|
\funcline{enddrawing}{}
|
|
Discard the drawing object. It should not be used again.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Menu Objects}

|
|
A menu object represents a menu.
|
|
The menu is destroyed when the menu object is deleted.
|
|
The following methods are defined:
|

|
|
\setindexsubitem{(menu method)}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{additem}{text, shortcut}
|
|
Add a menu item with given text.
|
|
The shortcut must be a string of length 1, or omitted (to specify no
|
|
shortcut).

\subsection{Bitmap Objects}
|
|
|
|
A bitmap represents a rectangular array of bits.
|
|
The top left bit has coordinate (0, 0).

A bitmap can be drawn with the \code{bitmap} method of a drawing object.
|
|
Bitmaps are currently not available on the Macintosh.
|
|
|
|
The following methods are defined:
|
|
|
|
\setindexsubitem{(bitmap method)}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getsize}{}
|
|
Return a tuple representing the width and height of the bitmap.
|
|
(This returns the values that have been passed to the \code{newbitmap}
|
|
function.)
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setbit}{point, bit}
|
|

\subsection{Text-edit Objects}
|
|
|
|
A text-edit object represents a text-edit block.
|
|
For semantics, see the STDWIN documentation for C programmers.
|
|
The following methods exist:
|
|
|
|
\setindexsubitem{(text-edit method)}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{arrow}{code}
|
|
Pass an arrow event to the text-edit block.
|
|
The
|
|
\var{code}
|
|
must be one of
|
|
\code{WC_LEFT},
|
|
\code{WC_RIGHT},
|
|
\code{WC_UP}
|
|
or
|
|
\code{WC_DOWN}

|
(see module
|
|
\code{stdwinevents}).
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{draw}{rect}
|
|
Pass a draw event to the text-edit block.

|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getfocus}{}
|
|
Return 2 integers representing the start and end positions of the
|
|
focus, usable as slice indices on the string returned by

\code{gettext()}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getfocustext}{}
|

|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getrect}{}
|
|
Return a rectangle giving the actual position of the text-edit block.
|
|
(The bottom coordinate may differ from the initial position because
|
|
the block automatically shrinks or grows to fit.)
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{gettext}{}
|
|
Return the entire text buffer.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{move}{rect}
|
|
Specify a new position for the text-edit block in the document.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{replace}{str}
|
|
Replace the text in the focus by the given string.
|
|
The new focus is an insert point at the end of the string.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setfocus}{i, j}
|
|
Specify the new focus.
|

to \code{(0, 0)}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{setview}{rect}
|
|
Set the view rectangle to \var{rect}. If \var{rect} is \code{None},
|
|
viewing mode is reset. In viewing mode, all output from the text-edit
|
|
object is clipped to the viewing rectangle. This may be useful to
|
|
implement your own scrolling text subwindow.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{close}{}
|
|
Discard the text-edit object. It should not be used again.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}

\subsection{Example}
|
|
\nodename{STDWIN Example}
|
|
|
|
Here is a minimal example of using STDWIN in Python.
|
|
It creates a window and draws the string ``Hello world'' in the top
|
|
left corner of the window.
|
|
The window will be correctly redrawn when covered and re-exposed.
|
|
The program quits when the close icon or menu item is requested.
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
import stdwin
|
|
from stdwinevents import *
|
|
|
|
def main():
|
|
mywin = stdwin.open('Hello')
|
|
#
|
|
while 1:
|
|
(type, win, detail) = stdwin.getevent()
|
|
if type == WE_DRAW:
|
|
draw = win.begindrawing()
|
|
draw.text((0, 0), 'Hello, world')
|
|
del draw
|
|
elif type == WE_CLOSE:
|
|
break
|
|
|
|
main()
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
%
|
|
\section{\module{stdwinevents} ---
|
|
None}
|
|
\declaremodule{standard}{stdwinevents}
|
|
|
|
\modulesynopsis{None}
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module defines constants used by STDWIN for event types
|
|
(\code{WE_ACTIVATE} etc.), command codes (\code{WC_LEFT} etc.)
|
|
and selection types (\code{WS_PRIMARY} etc.).
|
|
Read the file for details.
|
|
Suggested usage is
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
>>> from stdwinevents import *
|
|
>>>
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
%
|
|
\section{\module{rect} ---
|
|
None}
|
|
\declaremodule{standard}{rect}
|
|
|
|
\modulesynopsis{None}
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module contains useful operations on rectangles.
|
|
A rectangle is defined as in module
|
|
\code{stdwin}:
|
|
a pair of points, where a point is a pair of integers.
|
|
For example, the rectangle
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
(10, 20), (90, 80)
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
%
|
|
is a rectangle whose left, top, right and bottom edges are 10, 20, 90
|
|
and 80, respectively.
|
|
Note that the positive vertical axis points down (as in
|
|
\code{stdwin}).
|
|
|
|
The module defines the following objects:
|
|
|
|
\begin{excdesc}{error}
|
|
The exception raised by functions in this module when they detect an
|
|
error.
|
|
The exception argument is a string describing the problem in more
|
|
detail.
|
|
\end{excdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{datadesc}{empty}
|
|
The rectangle returned when some operations return an empty result.
|
|
This makes it possible to quickly check whether a result is empty:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
>>> import rect
|
|
>>> r1 = (10, 20), (90, 80)
|
|
>>> r2 = (0, 0), (10, 20)
|
|
>>> r3 = rect.intersect([r1, r2])
|
|
>>> if r3 is rect.empty: print 'Empty intersection'
|
|
Empty intersection
|
|
>>>
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
\end{datadesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{is_empty}{r}
|
|
Returns true if the given rectangle is empty.
|
|
A rectangle
|
|
\code{(\var{left}, \var{top}), (\var{right}, \var{bottom})}
|
|
is empty if
|
|
%begin{latexonly}
|
|
\iftexi
|
|
%end{latexonly}
|
|
\code{\var{left} >= \var{right}} or \code{\var{top} => \var{bottom}}.
|
|
%begin{latexonly}
|
|
\else
|
|
$\var{left} \geq \var{right}$ or $\var{top} \geq \var{bottom}$.
|
|
%%JHXXX\emph{left~$\geq$~right} or \emph{top~$\leq$~bottom}.
|
|
\fi
|
|
%end{latexonly}
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{intersect}{list}
|
|
Returns the intersection of all rectangles in the list argument.
|
|
It may also be called with a tuple argument.
|
|
Raises
|
|
\code{rect.error}
|
|
if the list is empty.
|
|
Returns
|
|
\code{rect.empty}
|
|
if the intersection of the rectangles is empty.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{union}{list}
|
|
Returns the smallest rectangle that contains all non-empty rectangles in
|
|
the list argument.
|
|
It may also be called with a tuple argument or with two or more
|
|
rectangles as arguments.
|
|
Returns
|
|
\code{rect.empty}
|
|
if the list is empty or all its rectangles are empty.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{pointinrect}{point, rect}
|
|
Returns true if the point is inside the rectangle.
|
|
By definition, a point
|
|
\code{(\var{h}, \var{v})}
|
|
is inside a rectangle
|
|
\code{(\var{left}, \var{top}), (\var{right}, \var{bottom})} if
|
|
%begin{latexonly}
|
|
\iftexi
|
|
%end{latexonly}
|
|
\code{\var{left} <= \var{h} < \var{right}} and
|
|
\code{\var{top} <= \var{v} < \var{bottom}}.
|
|
%begin{latexonly}
|
|
\else
|
|
$\var{left} \leq \var{h} < \var{right}$ and
|
|
$\var{top} \leq \var{v} < \var{bottom}$.
|
|
\fi
|
|
%end{latexonly}
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{inset}{rect, \(dh, dv\)}
|
|
Returns a rectangle that lies inside the
|
|
\code{rect}
|
|
argument by
|
|
\var{dh}
|
|
pixels horizontally
|
|
and
|
|
\var{dv}
|
|
pixels
|
|
vertically.
|
|
If
|
|
\var{dh}
|
|
or
|
|
\var{dv}
|
|
is negative, the result lies outside
|
|
\var{rect}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{rect2geom}{rect}
|
|
Converts a rectangle to geometry representation:
|
|
\code{(\var{left}, \var{top}), (\var{width}, \var{height})}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
|
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{geom2rect}{geom}
|
|
Converts a rectangle given in geometry representation back to the
|
|
standard rectangle representation
|
|
\code{(\var{left}, \var{top}), (\var{right}, \var{bottom})}.
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
