This is the Advanced Generic Widgets package (AGW). It provides many
custom-drawn wxPython controls: some of them can be used as a replacement
of the platform native controls, others are simply an addition to the
already rich wxPython widgets set.
Description:
AGW contains many different modules, listed below. Items labelled with
an asterisk were already present in :mod:`lib` before:
- AdvancedSplash: reproduces the behaviour of :class:`SplashScreen`, with more
advanced features like custom shapes and text animations;
- AquaButton: this is another custom-drawn button class which
*approximatively* mimics the behaviour of Aqua buttons on the Mac;
- AUI: a pure-Python implementation of :mod:`~lib.agw.aui`, with many bug fixes and
new features like HUD docking and :class:`~lib.agw.aui.auibook.AuiNotebook` tab arts;
- BalloonTip: allows you to display tooltips in a balloon style window
(actually a frame), similarly to the Windows XP balloon help;
- ButtonPanel (*): a panel with gradient background shading with the
possibility to add buttons and controls still respecting the gradient
background;
- CubeColourDialog: an alternative implementation of :class:`ColourDialog`, it
offers different functionalities like colour wheel and RGB cube;
- CustomTreeCtrl (*): mimics the behaviour of :class:`TreeCtrl`, with almost the
same base functionalities plus a bunch of enhancements and goodies;
- FlatMenu: as the name implies, it is a generic menu implementation,
offering the same :class:`MenuBar` / :class:`Menu` / :class:`ToolBar` capabilities and much more;
- FlatNotebook (*): a full implementation of the :class:`Notebook`, and designed
to be a drop-in replacement for :class:`Notebook` with enhanced capabilities;
- FloatSpin: this class implements a floating point spinctrl, cabable (in
theory) of handling infinite-precision floating point numbers;
- FoldPanelBar (*): a control that contains multiple panels that can be
expanded or collapsed a la Windows Explorer/Outlook command bars;
- FourWaySplitter: this is a layout manager which manages four children like
four panes in a window, similar to many CAD software interfaces;
- GenericMessageDialog: it is a possible replacement for the standard
:class:`MessageDialog`, with a fancier look and extended functionalities;
- GradientButton: another custom-drawn button class which mimics Windows CE
mobile gradient buttons, using a tri-vertex blended gradient background;
- HyperLinkCtrl (*): this widget acts line an hyper link in a typical browser;
- HyperTreeList: a class that mimics the behaviour of :class:`gizmos.TreeListCtrl`,
with almost the same base functionalities plus some more enhancements;
- InfoBar: a transient window shown at top or bottom of its parent window to display
non-critical information to the user;
- KnobCtrl: a widget which lets the user select a numerical value by
rotating it, like a slider with a wheel shape;
- LabelBook and FlatImageBook: these are a quasi-full implementations of
:class:`ListBook`, with additional features;
- MultiDirDialog: it represents a possible replacement for :class:`DirDialog`,
with the additional ability of selecting multiple folders at once and a
fancier look;
- PeakMeter: this widget mimics the behaviour of LED equalizers that are
usually found in stereos and MP3 players;
- PersistentControls: widgets which automatically save their state
when they are destroyed and restore it when they are recreated, even during
another program invocation;
- PieCtrl and ProgressPie: these are simple classes that reproduce the
behavior of a pie chart, in a static or progress-gauge-like way;
- PyBusyInfo: constructs a busy info window and displays a message in it:
it is similar to :class:`BusyInfo`;
- PyCollapsiblePane: a pure Python implementation of the original wxWidgets
C++ code of :class:`CollapsiblePane`, with customizable buttons;
- PyGauge: a generic :class:`Gauge` implementation, it supports the determinate
mode functions as :class:`Gauge`;
- PyProgress: it is similar to :class:`ProgressDialog` in indeterminated mode, but
with a different gauge appearance and a different spinning behavior;
- RibbonBar: the RibbonBar library is a set of classes for writing a ribbon
user interface, similar to the user interface present in recent versions
of Microsoft Office;
- RulerCtrl: it implements a ruler window that can be placed on top, bottom,
left or right to any wxPython widget. It is somewhat similar to the rulers
you can find in text editors software;
- ShapedButton: this class tries to fill the lack of "custom shaped" controls
in wxPython. It can be used to build round buttons or elliptic buttons;
- ShortcutEditor: a widget that allows the user to customize and change
keyboard shortcuts via a dialog;
- SpeedMeter: this widget tries to reproduce the behavior of some car
controls (but not only), by creating an "angular" control;
- SuperToolTip: a class that mimics the behaviour of :class:`TipWindow` and
generic tooltips, with many features and highly customizable;
- ThumbnailCtrl: a widget that can be used to display a series of images
in a "thumbnail" format; it mimics, for example, the Windows Explorer
behavior when you select the "view thumbnails" option;
- ToasterBox: a cross-platform widget to make the creation of MSN-style
"toaster" popups easier;
- UltimateListCtrl: mimics the behaviour of :class:`ListCtrl`, with almost the same
base functionalities plus some more enhancements;
- XLSGrid: a class based on :class:`grid.Grid` that can be used to faithfully
reproduce the appearance of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheets;
- ZoomBar: a class that *appoximatively* mimics the behaviour of the Mac Dock,
inside a :class:`Panel`.
Bugs and Limitations: many, patches and fixes welcome :-D
See the demos for an example of what AGW can do, and on how to use it.
