wx.lib.analogclock

AnalogClock - an analog clock.

This control creates an analog clock window. Its features include shadowing, the ability to render numbers as well as any arbitrary polygon as tick marks, resize marks and hands proportionally as the widget itself is resized, rotate marks in a way the get aligned to the watch. It also has a dialog, accessed via a context menu item, allowing one to change on the fly all of its settings.

Usage:

AnalogClock(parent, id=-1, pos=wx.DefaultPosition,

size=wx.DefaultSize, style=wx.NO_BORDER, name=”AnalogClock”, clockStyle=DEFAULT_CLOCK_STYLE, minutesStyle=TICKS_CIRCLE, hoursStyle=TICKS_POLY)

• parent, id, pos, size, style and name are used as in a wx.Window. Please refer to the wx.Window docs for more details.

• clockStyle defines the clock style, according to the options below:

  SHOW_QUARTERS_TICKS	Show marks for hours 3, 6, 9, 12
  SHOW_HOURS_TICKS	Show marks for all hours
  SHOW_MINUTES_TICKS	Show marks for minutes
  SHOW_HOURS_HAND	Show hours hand
  SHOW_MINUTES_HAND	Show minutes hand
  SHOW_SECONDS_HAND	Show seconds hand
  SHOW_SHADOWS	Show hands and marks shadows
  ROTATE_TICKS	Align tick marks to watch
  OVERLAP_TICKS	Draw tick marks for minutes even when they match the hours marks.
  DEFAULT_CLOCK_STYLE	The same as SHOW_HOURS_TICKS| SHOW_MINUTES_TICKS| SHOW_HOURS_HAND| SHOW_MINUTES_HAND| SHOW_SECONDS_HAND| SHOW_SHADOWS|ROTATE_TICKS

• minutesStyle and hoursStyle define the the tick styles, according to the options below:

  TICKS_NONE	Don’t show tick marks.
  TICKS_SQUARE	Use squares as tick marks.
  TICKS_CIRCLE	Use circles as tick marks.
  TICKS_POLY	Use a polygon as tick marks. A polygon can be passed using SetTickPolygon, otherwise the default polygon will be used.
  TICKS_DECIMAL	Use decimal numbers as tick marks.
  TICKS_ROMAN	Use Roman numbers as tick marks.
  TICKS_BINARY	Use binary numbers as tick marks.
  TICKS_HEX	Use hexadecimal numbers as tick marks.

Notes:

The ‘target’ keyword that’s present in various of the AnalogClock methods may accept one (or more, combined using ‘|’) of the following values:

HOUR	The values passed/retrieved are related to the hours hand/ticks
MINUTE	The values passed/retrieved are related to the minutes hand/ticks
SECOND	The values passed/retrieved are related to the seconds hand/ticks
ALL	The same as HOUR|MINUTE|SECOND, i. e., the values passed/retrieved are related to all of the hours hands/ticks. This is the default value in all methods.

It is legal to pass target=ALL to methods that don’t handle seconds (tick mark related methods). In such cases, ALL will be equivalent to HOUR|MINUTE.

All of the ‘Get’ AnalogClock methods that allow the ‘target’ keyword will always return a tuple, e. g.:

GetHandSize(target=HOUR)	Returns a 1 element tuple, containing the size of the hours hand.
GetHandSize(target=HOUR|MINUTE)	Returns a 2 element tuple, containing the sizes of the hours and the minutes hands, respectively.
GetHandSize(target=ALL)	Returns a 3 element tuple, containing
or	the sizes of the hours, minutes and
GetHandSize()	seconds hands, respectively.

About:

Most of the ideas and part of the code of AnalogClock were based on the original wxPython’s AnalogClock module, which was created by several folks on the wxPython-users list.

AnalogClock is distributed under the wxWidgets license.

This code should meet the wxPython Coding Guidelines <http://www.wxpython.org/codeguidelines.php> and the wxPython Style Guide <http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/wxPython_20Style_20Guide>.
