goocanvas.Item
defines the interface that canvas items must implement, and contains methods for operating on canvas items.
def add_child(item
, position
)
| The item to add. |
| the position of the item, or -1 to place it last (at the top of the stacking order). |
Adds a child item to a container item at the given stack position.
def allocate_area(cr
, requested_area
, allocated_area
, x_offset
, y_offset
)
| A cairo context. |
| The area that the item originally requested, in the parent's coordinate space. |
| The area that the item has been allocated, in the parent's coordinate space. |
| The x offset of the allocated area from the requested area in the device coordinate space. |
| The y offset of the allocated area from the requested area in the device coordinate space. |
This is used by goocanvas.Table
and other layout items to allocate an area to each of their children.
Note that the parent item will use a transform to move each of its children for the layout, so their is no need for the item to reposition itself. It only needs to recalculate its device bounds.
The x_offset and y_offset are provided since for the simple builtin items all they need to do is add these to their bounds.
def animate(x
, y
, scale
, degrees
, absolute
, duration
, step_time
, type
)
| the final x offset from the current position. |
| the final y offset from the current position. |
| the final scale of the item. |
| the final rotation of the item. |
| if the x, y, scale and degrees values are absolute, or relative to the current transform. Note that absolute animations only work if the item currently has a simple transform. If the item has a shear or some other complicated transform it may result in strange animations. |
| the duration of the animation, in milliseconds (1/1000ths of a second). |
| the time between each animation step, in milliseconds. |
| specifies what happens when the animation finishes. |
Animates an item from its current position to the given offsets, scale and rotation.
def ensure_updated()
Updates the canvas immediately, if an update is scheduled. This ensures that all item bounds are up-to-date.
def find_child(child
)
| the child item to find. |
Returns: | The position of the given child item, or -1 if it isn't found. |
Attempts to find the given child item with the container's stack.
def get_bounds()
Returns: | A goocanvas.Bounds
holding the four coordinates. |
Gets the bounds of the item. Note that the bounds includes the entire fill and stroke extents of the item, whether they are painted or not.
def get_child(child_num
)
| the position of a child in the container's stack. |
Returns: | The child item at the given stack position. |
Gets the child item at the given stack position.
def get_child_properties(child
, properties
)
| a child
goocanvas.Item
|
| property names as string |
Returns: | A tuple containing the property values. |
Gets the values of one or more child properties of child.

def get_items_at(x
, y
, cr
, is_pointer_event
, parent_is_visible
)
| The x coordinate of the point. |
| The y coordinate of the point. |
| A cairo context. |
| True if the "pointer-events" properties of items should be used to determine which parts of the item are tested. |
| True if the parent item is visible (which implies that all ancestors are also visible). |
Returns: | A list of items found at the given point, or None if no item was found. |
Gets the items at the given point.
def get_model()
Returns: | the canvas model, or None of the item isn't in a model. |

Returns: | The number of children. |
Gets the number of children of the container.
def get_parent()
Returns: | The parent item, or None if the item has no parent. |
Gets the parent of the given item.
def get_requested_area(cr
)
| A cairo context. |
Returns: | A goocanvas.Bounds
containing the requested area. |
This function is only intended to be used when implementing new canvas items, specifically layout items such as
goocanvas.Table
.
It gets the requested area of a child item.
def get_requested_height(cr
, width
)
| A cairo context. |
| The width that the item may be allocated. |
Returns: | The requested height of the item, given the allocated width, or -1 if the item doesn't support this method or its height doesn't change when allocated different widths. |
This function is only intended to be used when implementing new canvas items,
specifically layout items such as
goocanvas.Table
.
It gets the requested height of a child item, assuming it is allocated the given width. This is useful for text items whose requested height may change depending on the allocated width.
def get_style()
Returns: | The item's style. |
Gets the item's style. If the item doesn't have its own style it will return its parent's style.
def get_simple_transform()
Returns: | A 4 item tuple containing the item's x, y, scale and rotation. |
This function can be used to get the position, scale and rotation of an item, providing that
the item has a simple transformation matrix (e.g. set with
goocanvas.Item.set_simple_transform
(),
or using a combination of simple translate, scale and rotate operations).
If the item has a complex transformation matrix the results will be incorrect.

Gets the transformation matrix of an item.
def get_transform_for_child(child
)
| A child of item. |
Returns: | The transformation matrix or None |

These special transforms are used by layout items such as
goocanvas.Table
.

Returns: | True if the item is a container. |
Tests to see if the given item is a container.
def is_visible()
Returns: | True if the item is visible. |
Tests to see if the given item is visible.
This entails checking the item's own visibility setting, as well as those of its ancestors.
Note that the item may be scrolled off the screen and so may not be actually visible to the user.

, new_position

, bounds
, scale
)
| A cairo context. |
| The bounds that need to be repainted. |
| the scale to use to determine whether an item should be painted. See visibility-thresold |
Moves a child item to a new stack position within the container.
def raise_(above

| the item to raise item above, or NULL to raise item to the top of the stack. |
Raises an item in the stacking order.

Removes an item from its parent. If the item is in a canvas it will be removed.
This would normally also result in the item being freed.
def remove_child(child_num
)
| the position of the child item to remove. |
Removes the child item at the given position.
def request_update()
Requests that an update of the item is scheduled. It will be performed as soon as the application is idle, and before the canvas is redrawn.

Scales the item's coordinate system by the given amounts.

Sets the canvas of the item.
This is only needed for setting the canvas of the root item, as the other items can get the canvas from their parents.
