Psychopy Dialogue Formatting (visual)

[Horea Christian]

Hello, I'm following the experiment protocol tutorial from the website, and modifying it step-by-step to suit my situation. I'm still early in the process, but I'm confronted with problems the psychopy.gui.Dlg* visual formatting. In short: it looks like this, and I can't change it

I'd like the names of the fields to be aligned, and the fields themselves broader. How can I do this?

Cheers,

[Jonathan Peirce]

For me the following code:


from psychopy import gui, data

# create a DlgFromDict
info = {'Date':data.getDateStr(),
    'Gender':['male','female'],
    'Identifier': ''}
infoDlg = gui.DlgFromDict(dictionary=info, title='Experiment1',
    order=['Date', 'Gender', 'Identifier'],
    fixed=['Date'])#this attribute can't be changed by the user
if infoDlg.OK: #this will be True (user hit OK) or False (cancelled)
    print info
else:
    print 'User Cancelled'


gives this dialog on my mac:

which seems to be what you wanted.

So either your code is including some extra (non-visible) characters or it's a specific problem on your OS. Maybe paste your code and tell us what OS you're on (although there's not much we can do there).

I'm using Win7 64bit and Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. On both systems I get the same strange alignment. My sample code, generated by the builder:

from psychopy import data, gui, core

# Store info about the experiment session

expName = 'vampirZahn'  # from the Builder filename that created this script

expInfo = {'Gruppe':'KG',

    'Haendigkeit':'R',

    'Durchgang':'1',

    'VP-Code':'XX0000',

    'Geschlecht':'W'}

dlg = gui.DlgFromDict(dictionary=expInfo, title=expName)

if dlg.OK == False: core.quit()  # user pressed cancel

All with psychopy 1.79.01

Hi Florian,

I'm sure this could be improved by changes to the psychopy/gui.py file, but it's a low priority for me. If you manage to make that code better then let us know any changes you'd like to be pushed 'upstream' so that others can benefit (and so that you don't have to repeat your fix in future releases).

best wishes,
Jon

here's an example of some changes to gui.py, for changing the input box size: https://github.com/jeremygray/psychopy/commit/c40f0477d8a285817039334ed0d8c0fc47466797
