Module fl defines the following functions. For more
information about what they do, see the description of the equivalent
C function in the FORMS documentation:
make_form(
type, width, height)
Create a form with given type, width and height. This returns a
form object, whose methods are described below.
do_forms(
)
The standard FORMS main loop. Returns a Python object representing
the FORMS object needing interaction, or the special value
FL.EVENT.
check_forms(
)
Check for FORMS events. Returns what do_forms() above
returns, or None if there is no event that immediately needs
interaction.
set_event_call_back(
function)
Set the event callback function.
set_graphics_mode(
rgbmode, doublebuffering)
Set the graphics modes.
get_rgbmode(
)
Return the current rgb mode. This is the value of the C global
variable fl_rgbmode.
show_message(
str1, str2, str3)
Show a dialog box with a three-line message and an OK button.
show_question(
str1, str2, str3)
Show a dialog box with a three-line message and YES and NO buttons.
It returns 1 if the user pressed YES, 0 if NO.
show_choice(
str1, str2, str3, but1[,
but2[, but3]])
Show a dialog box with a three-line message and up to three buttons.
It returns the number of the button clicked by the user
(1, 2 or 3).
show_input(
prompt, default)
Show a dialog box with a one-line prompt message and text field in
which the user can enter a string. The second argument is the default
input string. It returns the string value as edited by the user.
show_file_selector(
message, directory, pattern, default)
Show a dialog box in which the user can select a file. It returns
the absolute filename selected by the user, or None if the user
presses Cancel.
get_directory(
)
get_pattern(
)
get_filename(
)
These functions return the directory, pattern and filename (the tail
part only) selected by the user in the last
show_file_selector() call.
qdevice(
dev)
unqdevice(
dev)
isqueued(
dev)
qtest(
)
qread(
)
qreset(
)
qenter(
dev, val)
get_mouse(
)
tie(
button, valuator1, valuator2)
These functions are the FORMS interfaces to the corresponding GL
functions. Use these if you want to handle some GL events yourself
when using fl.do_events(). When a GL event is detected that
FORMS cannot handle, fl.do_forms() returns the special value
FL.EVENT and you should call fl.qread() to read
the event from the queue. Don't use the equivalent GL functions!
color(
)
mapcolor(
)
getmcolor(
)
See the description in the FORMS documentation of
fl_color(), fl_mapcolor() and
fl_getmcolor().
