wx.adv.Animation¶

The wx.adv.Animation class handles the interface between the animation control and the details of the animation image or data.

Class API¶

class wx.adv.Animation(Object)¶

Possible constructors:

Animation()

Animation(name, type=ANIMATION_TYPE_ANY)

Animation(other)

The Animation class handles the interface between the animation control and the details of the animation image or data.

Methods¶

__init__(self, *args, **kw)¶

Overloaded Implementations:

__init__ (self)

Constructs a new empty animation object.

Call Load to initialize it.

See also

wx.adv.AnimationCtrl.CreateAnimation

__init__ (self, other)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:: other (wx.adv.Animation) –

static AddHandler(handler)¶

Add a new decoder to the list of animation decoders.

Parameters:: handler (wx.adv.AnimationDecoder) –

static CleanUpHandlers()¶

Clear out the animation decoder list.

This is called automatically at program shutdown.

static FindHandler(animType)¶

Search for an animation decoder by type.

Parameters:: animType (AnimationType) –
Return type:: wx.adv.AnimationDecoder

GetDelay(self, frame)¶

Returns the delay for the i-th frame in milliseconds.

If -1 is returned the frame is to be displayed forever.

Parameters:: frame (int) –
Return type:: int

GetFrame(self, frame)¶

Returns the i-th frame as a wx.Image.

This method is not implemented in the native wxGTK implementation of this class and always returns an invalid image there.

Parameters:: frame (int) –
Return type:: Image

GetFrameCount(self)¶

Returns the number of frames for this animation.

This method is not implemented in the native wxGTK implementation of this class and always returns 0 there.

Return type:: int

static GetHandlers()¶

Returns the list of animation decoders used by the generic animation and wx.adv.GenericAnimationCtrl.

Return type:: AnimationDecoderList

GetSize(self)¶

Returns the size of the animation.

Return type:: Size

static InitStandardHandlers()¶

Load the stock animation decoders (currently GIF and ANI) into the list of decoders.

This is called automatically at program startup.

static InsertHandler(handler)¶

Insert a new decoder to the front of the list of animation decoders.

Parameters:: handler (wx.adv.AnimationDecoder) –

IsCompatibleWith(self, ci)¶

Returns True if animation can be used with controls of the given type.

This function checks if this animation object can be used with wx.adv.AnimationCtrl of particular type. This will be always the case for the platforms where only a single wx.adv.AnimationCtrl implementation is available, but not necessarily under e.g. wxGTK where both native (but limited) GTK implementation and generic implementation can be used.

Parameters:: ci (wx.ClassInfo) –
Return type:: bool

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.

IsOk(self)¶

Returns True if animation data is present.

Return type:: bool

Load(self, stream, type=ANIMATION_TYPE_ANY)¶

Loads an animation from the given stream.

Parameters:

stream (wx.InputStream) – The stream to use to load the animation. Under wxGTK may be any kind of stream; under other platforms this must be a seekable stream.
type (AnimationType) – One of the wx.adv.AnimationType enumeration values.

Return type:

bool

Returns:

True if the operation succeeded, False otherwise.

LoadFile(self, name, type=ANIMATION_TYPE_ANY)¶

Loads an animation from a file.
