Installation

To install, run: pip install pygbuttons

Dependencies

• Python => 3.8
• Pygame => 2.0.1

Usage

To use the Buttons in a program, it is recommended to perform the following steps:

• Setup
  1. Import the module / the contents of the module.
  2. Set the settings for the Buttons module (framerate, scroll factor, scaling limits) where appropriate
  3. Create the required Buttons
• While running
  1. Pass all (relevant) Pygame.Events to the active Buttons in the input loop
  2. Draw the Buttons to the active screen
  3. Repeat

Getting an output from a Button can be done either by binding a function to the Button (which is then automatically executed when a certain action takes place), or by polling the Buttons value / status.

For a practical implementation, see the example.py file.
