# Blender.Draw module and the Button PyType object """ The Blender.Draw submodule. Draw ==== B{New}: - access to ascii values in L{events} callbacks; - 'large' fonts for L{Text} and L{GetStringWidth}. This module provides access to a B{windowing interface} in Blender. Its widgets include many kinds of buttons: push, toggle, menu, number, string, slider, scrollbar, plus support for text drawing. It also includes keyboard keys and mouse button code values in its dictionary, see a list after this example. Example:: import Blender from Blender import Draw, BGL mystring = "" mymsg = "" toggle = 0 def event(evt, val): # the function to handle input events global mystring, mymsg if not val: # val = 0: it's a key/mbutton release if evt in [Draw.LEFTMOUSE, Draw.MIDDLEMOUSE, Draw.RIGHTMOUSE]: mymsg = "You released a mouse button." Draw.Redraw(1) return if evt == Draw.ESCKEY: Draw.Exit() # exit when user presses ESC return elif Draw.AKEY <= evt <= Draw.ZKEY: mystring += chr(evt) elif evt == Draw.SPACEKEY: mystring += ' ' elif evt == Draw.BACKSPACEKEY and len(mystring): mystring = mystring[:-1] else: return # no need to redraw if nothing changed Draw.Redraw(1) def button_event(evt): # the function to handle Draw Button events global mymsg, toggle if evt == 1: mymsg = "You pressed the toggle button." toggle = 1 - toggle Draw.Redraw(1) def gui(): # the function to draw the screen global mystring, mymsg, toggle if len(mystring) > 90: mystring = "" BGL.glClearColor(0,0,1,1) BGL.glClear(BGL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) BGL.glColor3f(1,1,1) Draw.Toggle("Toggle", 1, 10, 10, 55, 20, toggle,"A toggle button") BGL.glRasterPos2i(72, 16) if toggle: toggle_state = "down" else: toggle_state = "up" Draw.Text("The toggle button is %s." % toggle_state, "small") BGL.glRasterPos2i(10, 230) Draw.Text("Type letters from a to z, ESC to leave.")

To avoid this, assign created buttons return values to B{global} variables, instead of ignoring them. Examples:: # avoid this, it can cause memory leaks: Draw.Toggle(...) Draw.Number(...) Draw.String(...) # this is correct -- assuming the variables are globals: my_toggle_button = Draw.Toggle(...) my_int_button = Draw.Number(...) my_str_button = Draw.String(...) @warn: Inside the windowing loop (after Draw.Register() has been executed and before Draw.Exit() is called), don't use the redraw functions from other modules (Blender and Window). The Draw submodule has its own Draw.Redraw() and Draw.Draw() functions that can be used inside the windowing loop. """ def Exit(): """ Exit the windowing interface.
