A basic implementation of various ui elements using python and pygame
Tip
Label and Button are the most commonly used ui elements.
For now the only ui elements i have implemented are the label and the button However i'll be coming back to this project and add a bunch of ui elements in the future, like :
- Radiobutton
- Entry box
- Color picker
- Popup message box
- Breadcrumbs
- Menu
- Menubutton
- File selector
- check button
- Progress bar
As you can see above these are some of the properties of the button i made using pygame. I made the Button class take in a Button Style class which contains all possible alterable properties of a button such as :
- Padding
- Font style
- Background color
- Foreground color
- Font size
- Hover effects (has to be coded if different)
- Anti - Aliasing
- Wrap length (move to next line when length of font exceed this variable)
- Border
I will continuously add more and more properties each time i visit this project.
Next we have a label. It is just the same as the button in terms of font properties. However it only dosent have a background rect and is only used to display text.
You can change any property of the label in the code by using the function:
Label.change( "Property", "Value")
The alterable properties are mentioned in the Label Style class
Thats it for now. See you next time :P
