Class API

class AuiPaneInfo(object)

AuiPaneInfo specifies all the parameters for a pane. These parameters specify where the pane is on the screen, whether it is docked or floating, or hidden. In addition, these parameters specify the pane’s docked position, floating position, preferred size, minimum size, caption text among many other parameters.

Methods

__init__(self)

Default class constructor.

---

BestSize(self, arg1=None, arg2=None)

Sets the ideal size for the pane. The docking manager will attempt to use this size as much as possible when docking or floating the pane.

This method is split in 2 versions depending on the input type. If arg1 is a wx.Size object, then BestSize1 is called. Otherwise, BestSize2 is called.

Parameters:

• arg1 – a wx.Size object, a (x, y) tuple or a x coordinate.

• arg2 – a y coordinate (only if arg1 is a x coordinate, otherwise unused).

---

BestSize1(self, size)

Sets the best size of the pane.

See also

BestSize for an explanation of input parameters.

---

BestSize2(self, x, y)

Sets the best size of the pane.

See also

BestSize for an explanation of input parameters.

---

Bottom(self)

Sets the pane dock position to the bottom of the frame.

Note

This is the same thing as calling Direction with AUI_DOCK_BOTTOM as parameter.

---

BottomDockable(self, b=True)

Indicates whether a pane can be docked at the bottom of the frame.

Parameters:

b (bool) – whether the pane can be docked at the bottom or not.

---

BottomSnappable(self, b=True)

Indicates whether a pane can be snapped at the bottom of the main frame.

Parameters:

b (bool) – whether the pane can be snapped at the bottom of the main frame or not.

---

Caption(self, caption)

Sets the caption of the pane.

Parameters:

caption (string) – a string specifying the pane caption.

---

CaptionVisible(self, visible=True, left=False)

Indicates that a pane caption should be visible. If visible is False, no pane caption is drawn.

Parameters:

• visible (bool) – whether the caption should be visible or not;

• left (bool) – whether the caption should be drawn on the left (rotated by 90 degrees) or not.

---

Center(self)

Sets the pane to the center position of the frame.

The centre pane is the space in the middle after all border panes (left, top, right, bottom) are subtracted from the layout.

Note

This is the same thing as calling Direction with AUI_DOCK_CENTER as parameter.

---

CenterPane(self)

Specifies that the pane should adopt the default center pane settings.

Centre panes usually do not have caption bars. This function provides an easy way of preparing a pane to be displayed in the center dock position.

---

Centre(self)

Sets the pane to the center position of the frame.

The centre pane is the space in the middle after all border panes (left, top, right, bottom) are subtracted from the layout.

Note

This is the same thing as calling Direction with AUI_DOCK_CENTRE as parameter.

---

CentrePane(self)

Specifies that the pane should adopt the default center pane settings.

Centre panes usually do not have caption bars. This function provides an easy way of preparing a pane to be displayed in the center dock position.

---

CloseButton(self, visible=True)

Indicates that a close button should be drawn for the pane.

Parameters:

visible (bool) – whether the close button should be visible or not.

---

Specifies that the pane should adopt the default pane settings.

---

DestroyOnClose(self, b=True)

Indicates whether a pane should be destroyed when it is closed.

Normally a pane is simply hidden when the close button is clicked. Setting b to True will cause the window to be destroyed when the user clicks the pane’s close button.

Parameters:

b (bool) – whether the pane should be destroyed when it is closed or not.

---

Direction(self, direction)

Determines the direction of the docked pane. It is functionally the same as calling Left, Right, Top or Bottom, except that docking direction may be specified programmatically via the parameter direction.

Clicking on the minimize button causes a new AuiToolBar to be created and added to the frame manager, (currently the implementation is such that panes at West will have a toolbar at the right, panes at South will have toolbars at the bottom etc…) and the pane is hidden in the manager.

Clicking on the restore button on the newly created toolbar will result in the toolbar being removed and the original pane being restored.

Note

In order to use the AUI_MINIMIZE_POS_TOOLBAR flag, the instance of AuiManager you pass as an input for MinimizeTarget must have a real name and not the randomly generated one. Remember to set the Name property of the toolbar pane before calling this method.

---

• arg2 – a y coordinate (only if arg1 is a x coordinate, otherwise unused).

---

MinSize1(self, size)

Sets the minimum size of the pane.

See also

MinSize for an explanation of input parameters.

---

MinSize2(self, x, y)

Sets the minimum size of the pane.

See also

MinSize for an explanation of input parameters.

Parameters:

name – a string specifying the pane name.

Warning

If you are using AuiManager.SavePerspective and AuiManager.LoadPerspective, you will have to specify a name for your pane using Name, as perspectives containing randomly generated names can not be properly restored.
