# Blender.Draw module and the Button PyType object

"""
The Blender.Draw submodule.

Draw
====

B{New}:
 - access to ASCII values in L{events<Register>} callbacks;
 - 'large' fonts for L{Text} and L{GetStringWidth}.
 - Pop-up blocks with L{PupBlock}
 - Color Picker button with L{ColorPicker}

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)

@note: function Button has an alias: L{PushButton}.

@warn: B{very important}: if using your script causes "Error totblock"
messages when Blender exits (meaning that memory has been leaked), this may
have been caused by an ignored return value from one of the button types.  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.
	"""

def BeginAlign():
	"""
	Buttons after this function will draw aligned (button layout only).
	"""

def EndAlign():
	"""
	Use after BeginAlign() to stop aligning the buttons (button layout only).
	"""

def UIBlock(draw):
	"""
	This function creates a popup area where buttons, labels, sliders etc can be drawn.
	
	@type draw: function
	@param draw: A function to draw to the popup area, taking no arguments: draw().
	
	@note: The size of the popup will expand to fit the bounds of the buttons created in the draw function.
	@note: Be sure to use the mouse coordinates to position the buttons under the mouse,
		so the popup dosn't exit as soon as it opens.
		The coordinates for buttons start 0,0 at the bottom left hand side of the screen.
	@note: Within this popup, Redraw events and the registered button callback will not work.
		For buttons to run events, use per button callbacks.
	@note: OpenGL drawing functions wont work within this popup, for text use L{Label} rather then L{Text}
	@warning: L{Menu} will not work properly within a UIBlock, this is a limitation with blenders user interface internals.
	"""

def Register(draw = None, event = None, button = None):
	"""
	Register callbacks for windowing.
	@type draw: function
	@type event: function
	@type button: function
	@param draw: A function to draw the screen, taking no arguments: draw().
	@param event: A function to handle keyboard and mouse input events, taking
		two arguments: f(evt, val), where:
			- 'evt' (int) is the event number;
			- 'val' (int) is the value modifier.  If val = 0, the event refers to a
			key or mouse button being released.  Otherwise it's a key/button press.
	@param button: A function to handle Draw Button events, taking one argument:
		f(evt), where:
			- 'evt' is the button number (see the I{event} parameter in L{Button}).
	@note: note that in the example at the beginning of this page Draw.Register
		is called only once.  It's not necessary to re-register the callbacks,
		they will stay until Draw.Exit is called.  It's enough to redraw the
		screen, when a relevant event is caught.
	@note: only during the B{event} callback: the L{Blender}.ascii variable holds
		the ASCII integer value (if it exists and is valid) of the current event.
	"""

def Redraw(after = 0):
	"""
	Queue a redraw event.  Redraw events are buffered so that, regardless of how
	many events are queued, the window only receives one redraw event.
	@type after: int
	@param after: If non-zero, the redraw is processed before other input events.
	"""

def Draw():
	"""
	Force an immediate redraw.  Forced redraws are not buffered.  In other words,
	the window is redrawn once every time this function is called.
	"""

	"""
	Create a default Button object.
	@type value: int, float, string or 3 floats
	@param value: The value to store in the button.

	@type callback: function
	@param callback: an optional argument so this button can have its own
		callback function. the function will run whenever this button is pressed.
		This function must accept 2 arguments (event, val).
	@note: This function used to be called only "Button".  We added an
		alternative alias to avoid a name clash with the L{Button} class/type that
		caused trouble in this documentation's generation.  The old name shouldn't
		be deprecated, use Button or PushButton (better) at your choice.
	"""

def PupMenu(name, maxrow = None):
	"""
	Create a pop-up menu.

	The menu options are specified through the 'name' parameter, like with
	L{Menu}: options are followed by a format code and separated by the '|'

	Create a popup menu tree.
	
	Each item in the list is a menu item - (str, event), separator - None or submenu - (str, [...]).
	
	Submenus list uses the same syntax as the menu list.

	Example::
		result = Draw.PupTreeMenu( [ ("Menu Item 1", 10), ("Menu Item 2", 12), ("SubMenu", [("Menu Item 3", 100), ("MenuItem4", 101) ]  ) ] )

def Image(image, x, y, zoomx=1.0, zoomy=1.0, clipx=0, clipy=0, clipw=-1, cliph=-1):
	"""
	Draw an image on the screen.

	The image is drawn at the location specified by the coordinates (x,y).  A
	pair of optional zoom factors (in horizontal and vertical directions) can
	be applied to the image as it is drawn, and an additional clipping rectangle
	can be applied to extract a particular sub-region of the image to draw.

	Note that the clipping rectangle is given in image space coordinates.  In
	image space, the origin is located at the bottom left, with x coordinates 
	increasing to the right and y coordinates increasing upwards.  No matter 
	where the clipping rectangle is placed in image space, the lower-left pixel 
	drawn on the screen is always placed at the coordinates (x,y).  The
	clipping rectangle is itself clipped to the dimensions of the image.  If
	either the width or the height of the clipping rectangle are negative then
	the corresponding dimension (width or height) is set to include as much of 
	the image as possible.

	For drawing images with alpha blending with the background you will need to enable blending as shown in the example.
	
	Example::
		import Blender
		from Blender import BGL, Image, Draw
		
		myimage = Image.Load('myimage.png')
		
		def gui():
			BGL.glEnable( BGL.GL_BLEND ) # Only needed for alpha blending images with background.
			BGL.glBlendFunc(BGL.GL_SRC_ALPHA, BGL.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA) 
		
			Draw.Image(myimage, 50, 50)
		
			BGL.glDisable( BGL.GL_BLEND )
		def event(evt, val):
			if evt == Draw.ESCKEY:
				Draw.Exit()
		
		Draw.Register(gui, event, None)

	@type image: Blender.Image
	@param image: The image to draw.
	@type x: int
	@param x: The lower left x (horizontal) position of the origin of the image.
	@type y: int
	@param y: The lower left y (vertical) position of the origin of the image.
	@type zoomx: float
	@param zoomx: The x (horizontal) zoom factor to use when drawing the image.
	@type zoomy: float
	@param zoomy: The y (vertical) zoom factor to use when drawing the image.
	@type clipx: int
	@param clipx: The lower left x (horizontal) origin of the clipping rectangle
				  within the image.  A value of 0 indicates the left of the
				  image.
	@type clipy: int
	@param clipy: The lower left y (vertical) origin of the clipping rectangle
				  within the image.  A value of 0 indicates the bottom of the
				  image.
	@type clipw: int
	@param clipw: The width of the clipping rectangle within the image. If this
				  value is negative then the clipping rectangle includes as much
				  of the image as possible in the x (horizontal) direction.
	@type cliph: int
	@param cliph: The height of the clipping rectangle within the image. If this
				  value is negative then the clipping rectangle includes as much
