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 lib before:
AdvancedSplash: reproduces the behaviour of SplashScreen, with more
advanced features like custom shapes and text animations;
AquaButton: this is another custom-drawn button class which approximately mimics the behaviour of Aqua buttons on the Mac;
AUI: a pure-Python implementation of aui, with many bug fixes and
new features like HUD docking and AuiNotebook tab arts;
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 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 / ToolBar capabilities and much more;
FlatNotebook (*): a full implementation of the Notebook, and designed
to be a drop-in replacement for 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
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.adv.TreeListCtrl,
with almost the same base functionalities plus some more enhancements;
InfoBar: a transient window shown at top or bottom of its parent window to display non-critical information to the user;
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
Listbook, with additional features;
MultiDirDialog: it represents a possible replacement for 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;
PersistentControls: widgets which automatically save their state when they are destroyed and restore it when they are recreated, even during another program invocation;
PieCtrl and ProgressPie: these are simple classes that reproduce the behavior of a pie chart, in a static or progress-gauge-like way;
PyBusyInfo: constructs a busy info window and displays a message in it:
it is similar to BusyInfo;
PyCollapsiblePane: a pure Python implementation of the original wxWidgets
C++ code of CollapsiblePane, with customizable buttons;
PyGauge: a generic Gauge implementation, it supports the determinate
mode functions as Gauge;
PyProgress: it is similar to ProgressDialog in indeterminated mode, but
with a different gauge appearance and a different spinning behavior;
RibbonBar: the RibbonBar library is a set of classes for writing a ribbon user interface, similar to the user interface present in recent versions of Microsoft Office;
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;
ShortcutEditor: a widget that allows the user to customize and change keyboard shortcuts via a dialog;
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 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;
UltimateListCtrl: mimics the behaviour of ListCtrl, with almost the same
base functionalities plus some more enhancements;
XLSGrid: a class based on grid.Grid that can be used to faithfully
reproduce the appearance of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheets;
ZoomBar: a class that appoximatively mimics the behaviour of the Mac Dock,
inside a Panel.
Bugs and Limitations: many, patches and fixes welcome :-D
