A data type holding rich text data (textmodel) and a text widget (wxtextview) as demonstration. Textmodel does not depend on a specific gui-toolkit.
Project description
0. INTRO
Textmodel is a data type which can hold textstrings together with format information. It is similar to GtkTextBuffer in functionality, but it is completely independent of a gui-toolkit. TextModel is based on a efficient b-tree like structure and is incredibly fast.
Wxtextview is an example widget written for the wx toolkit. It has the functionality of a rich text editor and can handle even very long texts without feeling slow.
There are two demos showing advanced possibilities of textmodel:
- notebook.py:
A notebook interface similar to ipython
- math_demo.py:
A demonstration of typesetting math
1. USAGE
Running the demos:
Just cd to the demo directory and execute the scripts. No installation is needed. External dependencies are wxpython (all demos) and matplotlib (notebook). The demos were tested on linux, windows and mac platforms.
$ cd demo/ $ python demo1.py
Using textmodel:
from textmodel import TextModel text = TextModel(u'Hello World!') # highlight the word "World" text.set_properties(6, 11, bgcolor = 'yellow') # query the color print text.get_style(0)['bgcolor'] # --> color of first character print text.get_style(10)['bgcolor'] # --> color of 10th character
Using the wxtextview-widget:
from textmodel import TextModel from wxtextview import WXTextView import wx app = wx.App() model = TextModel(u'Hello World!') model.set_properties(6, 11, fontsize=14) model.set_properties(6, 11, bgcolor='yellow') # display the texmodel in a view frame = wx.Frame(None) view = WXTextView(frame, -1) view.model = model frame.Show() # set cursor and selection view.index = 5 view.selection = 0, 5 # display the same textmodel in a second view frame2 = wx.Frame(None) view2 = WXTextView(frame2, -1) view2.model = model frame2.Show() app.MainLoop()
