phoenix_title wx.ImageList

A wx.ImageList contains a list of images, which are stored in an unspecified form.

Images can use alpha channel or masks for transparent drawing, and can be made from a variety of sources including bitmaps and icons.

wx.ImageList is used principally in conjunction with wx.TreeCtrl and wx.ListCtrl classes.

Use of this class is not recommended in the new code as it doesn’t support showing DPI-dependent bitmaps. Please use wx.WithImages.SetImages instead of wx.WithImages.SetImageList .

api Class API

class wx.ImageList(Object)

Possible constructors:

ImageList()

ImageList(width, height, mask=True, initialCount=1)

A ImageList contains a list of images, which are stored in an unspecified form.


Methods

__init__(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



__init__ (self)

Default constructor.



__init__ (self, width, height, mask=True, initialCount=1)

Constructor specifying the image size, whether image masks should be created, and the initial size of the list.

Note that the size is specified in logical pixels.

Parameters:
  • width (int) – Width of the images in the list.

  • height (int) – Height of the images in the list.

  • mask (bool) – If True, all images will have masks, with the mask being created from the light grey pixels if not specified otherwise, i.e. if the image doesn’t have neither alpha channel nor mask and no mask is explicitly specified when adding it. Note that if an image does have alpha channel or mask, it will always be used, whether this parameter is True or False.

  • initialCount (int) – The initial size of the list.

Create





Add(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



Add (self, bitmap, mask=NullBitmap)

Adds a new image or images using a bitmap and optional mask bitmap.

The logical size of the bitmap should be the same as the size specified when constructing wx.ImageList. If the logical width of the bitmap is greater than the image list width, bitmap is split into smaller images of the required width.

Parameters:
  • bitmap (wx.Bitmap) – Bitmap representing the opaque areas of the image.

  • mask (wx.Bitmap) – Monochrome mask bitmap, representing the transparent areas of the image.

Return type:

int

Returns:

The new zero-based image index.



Add (self, bitmap, maskColour)

Adds a new image or images using a bitmap and mask colour.

The logical size of the bitmap should be the same as the size specified when constructing wx.ImageList. If the logical width of the bitmap is greater than the image list width, bitmap is split into smaller images of the required width.

Parameters:
  • bitmap (wx.Bitmap) – Bitmap representing the opaque areas of the image.

  • maskColour (wx.Colour) – Colour indicating which parts of the image are transparent.

Return type:

int

Returns:

The new zero-based image index.



Add (self, icon)

Adds a new image using an icon.

The logical size of the icon should be the same as the size specified when constructing wx.ImageList.

Parameters:

icon (wx.Icon) – Icon to use as the image.

Return type:

int

Returns:

The new zero-based image index.

Availability

Only available for MSW, OSX.





Create(self, width, height, mask=True, initialCount=1)

Initializes the list.

See wx.ImageList for details.

This function can be called only once after creating the object using its default constructor or after calling Destroy .

Parameters:
  • width (int) –

  • height (int) –

  • mask (bool) –

  • initialCount (int) –

Return type:

bool



Destroy(self)

Destroys the current list.

This function resets the object to its initial state and does more than just RemoveAll in the native wxMSW version.

After calling it, Create may be called again to recreate the image list, e.g. using a different size.

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.6.



Draw(self, index, dc, x, y, flags=IMAGELIST_DRAW_NORMAL, solidBackground=False)

Draws a specified image onto a device context.

Parameters:
  • index (int) – Image index, starting from zero.

  • dc (wx.DC) – Device context to draw on.

  • x (int) – X position on the device context.

  • y (int) – Y position on the device context.

  • flags (int) – How to draw the image. A bitlist of a selection of the following:

    • wx.IMAGELIST_DRAW_NORMAL: Draw the image normally.

    • wx.IMAGELIST_DRAW_TRANSPARENT: Draw the image with transparency.

    • wx.IMAGELIST_DRAW_SELECTED: Draw the image in selected state.

    • wx.IMAGELIST_DRAW_FOCUSED: Draw the image in a focused state.

  • solidBackground (bool) – For optimisation - drawing can be faster if the function is told that the background is solid.

Return type:

bool



GetBitmap(self, index)

Returns the bitmap corresponding to the given index.

Parameters:

index (int) –

Return type:

wx.Bitmap



GetIcon(self, index)

Returns the icon corresponding to the given index.

Parameters:

index (int) –

Return type:

wx.Icon



GetImageCount(self)

Returns the number of images in the list.

Return type:

int



GetSize(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



GetSize (self, index)

Retrieves the size of the images in the list.

Currently, the index parameter is ignored as all images in the list have the same size.

Parameters:

index (int) – currently unused, should be 0

Return type:

tuple

Returns:

( width, height )



GetSize (self)

Retrieves the size of the image list as passed to Create .

Return type:

wx.Size

Returns:

the size of the image list, which may be zero if the image list was not yet initialised.





Remove(self, index)

Removes the image at the given position.

Parameters:

index (int) –

Return type:

bool



RemoveAll(self)

Removes all the images in the list.

Return type:

bool



Replace(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



Replace (self, index, bitmap, mask=NullBitmap)

Replaces the existing image with the new image.

Parameters:
  • index (int) – The index of the bitmap to be replaced.

  • bitmap (wx.Bitmap) – Bitmap representing the opaque areas of the image.

  • mask (wx.Bitmap) – Monochrome mask bitmap, representing the transparent areas of the image.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

True if the replacement was successful, False otherwise.

Note

The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Replace operation, and can be deleted afterwards.



Replace (self, index, icon)

Replaces the existing image with the new image.

Parameters:
  • index (int) – The index of the bitmap to be replaced.

  • icon (wx.Icon) – Icon to use as the image.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

True if the replacement was successful, False otherwise.

Note

The original bitmap or icon is not affected by the Replace operation, and can be deleted afterwards.

Availability

Only available for MSW, OSX.
