Tickmarker

TickMarker widget, used to mark intervals.

See https://kivy-garden.github.io/tickmarker/ for the rendered flower docs.

Please see the garden instructions for how to use kivy garden flowers.

Flower information

Tickmarker exports the TickMarker widget, which places ticks in the center of the widget so that when combined with another widget e.g. a slider it marks intervals. TickMarker supports horizontal and vertical orientation, minor/major ticks and log10 representation.

For example, to create a log slider from 0.1 to 10 starting at 1 with major tick marks at every decade, and minor ticks at every 0.2 decades:

from kivy.uix.slider import Slider
from kivy.garden.tickmarker import TickMarker
class TickSlider(Slider, TickMarker):
pass
s = TickSlider(log=True, min_log=.1, max_log=10, value_log=1,
ticks_major=1, ticks_minor=5)

Or a linear slider from 10 to 200 starting at 60 with major tick marks at every 50 units from start, and minor ticks at every 10 units

s = TickSlider(min=10, max=200, value=60, ticks_major=50, ticks_minor=5)

To create a log progress bar from 10 to 1000 starting at 500 with major tick marks at every decade, and minor ticks at every 0.1 decades::

from kivy.uix.progressbar import ProgressBar
from kivy.garden.tickmarker import TickMarker
class TickBar(ProgressBar, TickMarker):
padding = NumericProperty(0)
min = NumericProperty(0)
orientation = OptionProperty('horizontal', options=('horizontal'))
s = TickBar(log=True, min_log=10, max_log=1000, value_log=500,
ticks_major=1, ticks_minor=10)

When combining with another widget such as a slider, the widget must have min, max, value, orientation, and padding fields. See the second example above as to how you would do this with a ProgressBar. When logarithmic representation is required you read and write to the numerical fields using min_log, max_log and value_log instead of min, max, and value.

CI

Every push or pull request run the GitHub Action CI. It tests the code on various OS and also generates wheels that can be released on PyPI upon a tag. Docs are also generated and uploaded to the repo as well as artifacts of the CI.
