Documentation

Pyglet-gui is an extension of Pyglet for graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Thanks for checking it out.

This project started as a fork of Kytten, but ended up being a new project by its own right since the API changed dramatically.

Main features

  • Implements a controller-viewer pattern.

    Pyglet-gui uses the concept of "controllers" to handle window events and "viewers" to draw.

    For example, a Button is a subclass of a two-state controller and a viewer.

  • Use of Mixins

    Pyglet-gui uses mixins for extending functionality of viewers and controllers. This increases code reusability and modularity.

    For example, mouse hovering behaviour is added with a HoveringMixin class.

  • Implements an abstraction for graphical appearance

    Pyglet-gui uses "themes" where each (static) resource is defined in a JSON file. This file is loaded, and viewers select specific resources from an unique path.

    For example, the Pyglet-gui standard Button chooses the path

      def get_path(self):
          path = ['button']
          if self.is_pressed():
              path.append('down')
          else:
              path.append('up')
          return path
    
  • Has some standard user interfaces:

    • Button, Slider

    • Scrollable content display
