phoenix_title wx.lib.throbber.Throbber

The first argument is either the name of a file that will be split into frames (a composite image) or a list of strings of image names that will be treated as individual frames. If a single (composite) image is given, then additional information must be provided: the number of frames in the image and the width of each frame. The first frame is treated as the “at rest” frame (it is not shown during animation, but only when Throbber.Rest() is called. A second, single image may be optionally specified to overlay on top of the animation. A label may also be specified to show on top of the animation.

class Throbber(wx.Panel)

The first argument is either the name of a file that will be split into frames (a composite image) or a list of strings of image names that will be treated as individual frames. If a single (composite) image is given, then additional information must be provided: the number of frames in the image and the width of each frame. The first frame is treated as the “at rest” frame (it is not shown during animation, but only when Throbber.Rest() is called. A second, single image may be optionally specified to overlay on top of the animation. A label may also be specified to show on top of the animation.


Methods

__init__(self, parent, id, bitmap, pos = wx.DefaultPosition, size = wx.DefaultSize, frameDelay = 0.1, frames = 0, frameWidth = 0, label = None, overlay = None, reverse = 0, style = 0, name = "throbber", rest = 0, current = 0, direction = 1, sequence = None)

Default class constructor.

Parameters:

  • parent – parent window, must not be None

  • id (integer) – window identifier. A value of -1 indicates a default value

  • bitmap – a wx.Bitmap to be used

  • pos – the control position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform

  • size – the control size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size, chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform

  • frameDelay – time delay between frames

  • frames – number of frames (only necessary for composite image)

  • frameWidth – width of each frame (only necessary for composite image)

  • label (string) – optional text to be displayed

  • overlay – optional wx.Bitmap to overlay on animation

  • reverse (boolean) – reverse direction at end of animation

  • style (integer) – the underlying wx.Control style

  • name (string) – the widget name.

  • rest – the rest frame

  • current – the current frame

  • direction – 1 advances = -1 reverses

  • sequence – sequence of frames, defaults to range(self.frames)
