Kivy simple gauge widget

[J.H]

Hello,

For a small project, I use simple gauges.

Maybe someone needs them.

Thank you Mathieu.

I corrected the code according to your comments.

I'm trying to built now a 7-segment display widget. I often use this type of widget for visualization projects sensor data, but I'm still not very comfortable with the graphics classes.

In this regard, I would like your opinion designer: to create a sophisticated widget, is it better to use existing widgets or enjoy using the graphics classes?

It depends.

If the behavior is already implemented as you want, and you just want to changes the graphics, yes.

Otherwise, make your own widget :)

Excellent. Thanks.

However, I have noticed that the gauge does not show outside the garden folder. This is because kivy cannot load the dial and needle graphics.
I have modified the code to load the pngs properly as below:

import os,inspect

class DummyClass: pass

class Gauge(Widget):
    '''
    Gauge class

    '''

    dummy = DummyClass
    unit = NumericProperty(1.8)
    value = BoundedNumericProperty(0, min=0, max=100, errorvalue=0)
    mypath = os.path.dirname(os.path.

abspath(inspect.getsourcefile(dummy)))
    file_gauge = StringProperty(mypath + os.sep + "cadran.png")
    file_needle = StringProperty(mypath + os.sep + "needle.png")

I guess this is not the most efficient way to find the module path. Probably you can improve the code.

Hey phisatho you could do a pull request to the garden repo for this guage widget or create your own widget and push it to garden.

I have no idea how to push to  kivy.garden

Never done it myself, but I would suggest trying the following.

1. On github, create your own fork of https://github.com/kivy-garden

2. Clone the repo on your local disc.

3. Create a branch for your gauge widget.

4. Push this branch back to your github repo.

5. Submit a pull request for this branch.

That's how I imagine it works? If not, please let me know and I will update the docs accordingly...;-)

Peace out

Seems each item in the Garden is it's own repo, so the process described above should actually start with creating a new repo in the garden. Then that is the one you will fork...
