Any KIVY Visual Layout editor

[Prabhat Mohanty]

Hi,

Is there any KIVY Visual Layout editor where we could use a LayoutBox and widgets to set our draft layout and it would either save as a .KV file or at least give the right POS and SIZE details?

Regards

Prabhat

I’m not aware of any visual layout editor.  I find that when I am doing a complex layout, I start by just using buttons as a strand in for all of my widgets.  This allows me to focus on how I want the layouts structured.  I then replace the buttons with the appropriate widgets.   Using Layouts and hits minimizes the need to focus on position and size.  It is a very powerful feature of kivy.

Thank you. This sounds like a good hack!

To position a new button, can we refer to the position of an old widget/button?

For example if we have an old button B1 and now would place a new button B2 :

Button:

    id : bt2

   pos : self.ids.bt1.pos_x + 50, self.ids.bt1.pos_y - 50

Something like this doable?

Yes, you can do that, but even better is to use a layout and let the layout position and size the widgets for you.

Here is a link to a presentation I did at a python meet up that talks about layouts.
