Package wx.lib.agw
This is the Advanced Generic Widgets package (AGW). It provides many
custom-drawn wxPython controls: some of them can be used as a replacement
of the platform native controls, others are simply an addition to the
already rich wxPython widgets set.
Description:
AGW contains many different modules, listed below. Items labelled with
an asterisk were already present in wx.lib before:
- AdvancedSplash: reproduces the behaviour of wx.SplashScreen, with more
advanced features like custom shapes and text animations;
- AquaButton: this is another custom-drawn button class which
approximatively mimics the behaviour of Aqua buttons on the Mac;
- BalloonTip: allows you to display tooltips in a balloon style window
(actually a frame), similarly to the Windows XP balloon help;
- ButtonPanel (*): a panel with gradient background shading with the
possibility to add buttons and controls still respecting the gradient
background;
- CubeColourDialog: an alternative implementation of wx.ColourDialog, it
offers different functionalities like colour wheel and RGB cube;
- CustomTreeCtrl (*): mimics the behaviour of wx.TreeCtrl, with almost the
same base functionalities plus a bunch of enhancements and goodies;
- FlatMenu: as the name implies, it is a generic menu implementation,
offering the same wx.MenuBar/wx.Menu/wx.ToolBar capabilities and much more;
- FlatNotebook (*): a full implementation of the wx.Notebook, and designed
to be a drop-in replacement for wx.Notebook with enhanced capabilities;
- FloatSpin: this class implements a floating point spinctrl, cabable (in
theory) of handling infinite-precision floating point numbers;
- FoldPanelBar (*): a control that contains multiple panels that can be
expanded or collapsed a la Windows Explorer/Outlook command bars;
- FourWaySplitter: this is a layout manager which manages four children like
four panes in a window, similar to many CAD software interfaces;
- GenericMessageDialog: it is a possible replacement for the standard
wx.MessageDialog, with a fancier look and extended functionalities;
- GradientButton: another custom-drawn button class which mimics Windows CE
mobile gradient buttons, using a tri-vertex blended gradient background;
- HyperLinkCtrl (*): this widget acts line an hyper link in a typical browser;
- HyperTreeList: a class that mimics the behaviour of wx.gizmos.TreeListCtrl,
with almost the same base functionalities plus some more enhancements;
- KnobCtrl: a widget which lets the user select a numerical value by
rotating it, like a slider with a wheel shape;
- LabelBook and FlatImageBook: these are a quasi-full implementations of
wx.ListBook, with additional features;
- MultiDirDialog: it represents a possible replacement for wx.DirDialog,
with the additional ability of selecting multiple folders at once and a
fancier look;
- PeakMeter: this widget mimics the behaviour of LED equalizers that are
usually found in stereos and MP3 players;
- PieCtrl and ProgressPie: these are simple classes that reproduce the
behavior of a pie chart, in a static or progress-gauge-like way;
- PyCollapsiblePane: a pure Python implementation of the original wxWidgets
C++ code of wx.CollapsiblePane, with customizable buttons;
- PyProgress: it is similar to wx.ProgressDialog in indeterminated mode, but
with a different gauge appearance and a different spinning behavior;
- RulerCtrl: it implements a ruler window that can be placed on top, bottom,
left or right to any wxPython widget. It is somewhat similar to the rulers
you can find in text editors software;
- ShapedButton: this class tries to fill the lack of "custom shaped" controls
in wxPython. It can be used to build round buttons or elliptic buttons;
- SpeedMeter: this widget tries to reproduce the behavior of some car
controls (but not only), by creating an "angular" control;
- SuperToolTip: a class that mimics the behaviour of wx.TipWindow and
generic tooltips, with many features and highly customizable;
- ThumbnailCtrl: a widget that can be used to display a series of images
in a "thumbnail" format; it mimics, for example, the Windows Explorer
behavior when you select the "view thumbnails" option;
- ToasterBox: a cross-platform widget to make the creation of MSN-style
"toaster" popups easier.
Bugs and Limitations: many, patches and fixes welcome :-D
