Follow up to Colorbox example

[Dan Moormann]

Thought I'd start a new conversation as the other one was getting quite long.

I was able to successfully run the ColorBox example Eliot sent me earlier and am trying to incorporate it into my app. 

The problem that I'm running into is that the draw_recs routine (click on draw line rect)  displays the requested data, but it pushes everything up and off the screen.  I stopped it after the first 2 widgets (line 267) trying to get a handle on it.  I guessed I needed to use screenmanager but got it all messed up and broke everything.  I commented out all the screenmanager stuff and got it working again, but the roll up still happens.

I thought FloatLayout allows me put stuff anywhere.

I'll try to figure out screenmanager later, unless you can provide some guidance.

Enclosed is my code:

Just taking a quick look…

ScatterWidgetText is a BoxLayout.  BoxLayouts want to size a position their children.  You are adding widgets to the BoxLayout – and the BoxLayout is doing its thing.

 

Given you are positioning and sizing the widgets, I assume you want to put them in FloatLayout.

What do you want to achieve?  Did you want the output of render_rec to render on a different screen?

Here is a video tutorial on the ScreenManager:   https://youtu.be/xx-NLOg6x8o?si=pYqvll_S65MkJ0qG

 

The ScreenManager manages Screens. A Screen does not need to be the full window, it could be a subset of the window.

So I changed it to a FloatLayout and manually placed my buttons.  I got it to work by using size: and pos: explicitly. I calclulated the size_hint and got that working when I try to do pos_hint, I get an error      

for key, value in c.pos_hint.items():
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'items'

The only reference to my code is the run()

You can see the entire traceback if you run the code as is

If you comment out line 51(kv) and un-comment line 50 you' see what I'm trying to get.

I tried various combinations of pos_hit: None and size_hint : None and got the same error.

A pos_hint takes a dictionary as an argument, not a tuple.

See: https://kivy.org/doc/stable/api-kivy.uix.widget.html#kivy.uix.widget.Widget.pos_hint

The keys ‘x’, ‘right’ and ‘center_x’ will use the parent width. The keys ‘y’, ‘top’ and ‘center_y’ will use the parent height.

 

You can also use nested layouts, so for example you could put a BoxLayout in the FloatLayout, let the BoxLayout (or other nested layouts) position the static widgets, as you had before, and they add the dynamic widgets to the FloatLayout.  Here is a small example.

 

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.button import Button

kv = """
FloatLayout:
    id: float
    BoxLayout:
        pos_hint: {'top': 1}  # using the dict for a pos_hint
        size_hint_y: None
        height: dp(48)
        Button:
            text: 'In BoxLayout'
        Button:
            text: '...also in BoxLayout'
"""


class NestedFloatApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return Builder.load_string(kv)

    def on_start(self):
        # add dynamic buttons to FloatLayout
        positions = ((0, 0), ('100dp', '48dp'))
        for i, pos in enumerate(positions):
            self.root.add_widget(Button(text=f'{i}', size_hint=(None, None),
                                        size=('100dp', '48dp'), pos=pos))
        center_button = Button(text='Center', size_hint=(None, None),
                               size=('100dp', '48dp'), pos_hint={'center_x': 0.5, 'center_y': 0.5})
        self.root.add_widget(center_button)


NestedFloatApp().run()
