Examples

• Default Round Progress Bar

import sys
from PySide2 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtGui

from PySideExtn.RoundProgressBar import roundProgressBar #IMPORT THE EXTENSION LIBRARY

x = 0
p = 1

class MyWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        QtWidgets.QWidget.__init__(self)

        self.hello = 'Round Progress Bar'
        self.button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Click me to change Value")
        self.text = QtWidgets.QLabel("Round Progress Bar")
        self.text.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)
        
        #CREATING THE ROUND PROGRESS BAR OBJECT
        self.rpb = roundProgressBar()
        
        self.layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
        self.layout.addWidget(self.text)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.button)
        
        # ADDING THE ROUND PROGRESS BAR OBJECT TO THE                                             # BOTTOM OF THE LAYOUT
        self.layout.addWidget(self.rpb)

        self.setLayout(self.layout)
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.magic) #BUTTON PRESSED EVENT
        
    def magic(self):
        global x, p
        x = x + 10*p
        if x==100:
            p = -1
        elif x==0:
            p = 1
        self.rpb.rpb_setValue(x)        #CHANGING THE VALUE OF THE PROGRESS BAR
        out_text = 'Round Progress Bar: ' + str(x) + '%'
        self.text.setText(out_text)
        
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    widget = MyWidget()
    widget.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

In this demo, we first created an object of the Round Progress Bar:

self.rpb = roundProgressBar() #CREATING THE ROUND PROGRESS BAR OBJECT

After that calling the Round Progress Bar object to display the value of progress using:

self.rpb.rpb_setValue(x) #CHANGING THE VALUE OF THE PROGRESS BAR

The rpb_setValue(value) takes an int as an argument and updates to change the value of the progress bar to the value given.

• Default Spiral Progress Bar

import sys
from PySide2 import QtCore, QtWidgets, QtGui

#IMPORT THE EXTENSION  LIBRARY
from PySideExtn.SpiralProgressBar import spiralProgressBar 

x = 0
p = 1

class MyWidget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        QtWidgets.QWidget.__init__(self)

        self.hello = 'Spiral Progress Bar'
        self.button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Click me to change Value")
        self.text = QtWidgets.QLabel("Spiral Progress Bar")
        self.text.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)
        
        #CREATING THE SPIRAL PROGRESS BAR OBJECT
        self.spb = spiralProgressBar()    
        
        #ADDING WIDGETS TO THE VERTICAL LAYOUT
        self.layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
        self.layout.addWidget(self.text)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.button)
        
        # ADDING THE SPIRAL PROGRESS BAR OBJECT TO THE LAYOUT
        self.layout.addWidget(self.spb) 
        
        self.setLayout(self.layout)
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.magic) #BUTTON PRESSED EVENT
        
    def magic(self):
        global x, p
        x = x + 10*p
        if x==100:
            p = -1
        elif x==0:
            p = 1
            
        #CHANGING THE VALUE OF THE 3 DEFAULT PROGRESS BAR
        self.spb.spb_setValue((x, x*2, x*3)) 
        
        out_text = 'Spiral Progress Bar: '  
        out_text = out_text + str(x) + '%, ' + str(2*x) + '%, ' + str(3*x) + '%'
        self.text.setText(out_text)
        
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    widget = MyWidget()
    widget.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

• Here first create a spiralProgressBar object and then add the progress bar to a layout and control the steps of the progress bar by the clicking of the button.

  self.spb = spiralProgressBar()		
  

• Here we create a spiralProgressBar object instance and then use the self.spb as the spiral progress bar to influence its charactor like:

  self.spb.spb_setValue((x, x*2, x*3))
  

• Since the default progress bar has 3 individual concentric circle, where each can be controlled individually, we pass a tuple containing the individual value for manipulating each concentric progress bar, to the function spb_setValue() , which only accepts a tuple of length equal to the number of concentric progress bar. Every function which can manipulate the properties of the Spiral Progress Bar uses the same idea. The order of entering the value are shown below:
