wxtextview 0.3.6

A styled text widget for wxpython.

WXTextView

Wxtextview is widget for the wx toolkit and is written completely in python. It has the functionality of a rich text editor and can handle even very long texts without beeing slow. All layout and editor logic is implemented in python. Only basic drawing commands are used from the wx toolkit. It is therefore easy to adapt it to other GUI-toolkits.

There are two demos showing advanced possibilities of WXTextView:

notebook.py:

A notebook interface similar to mathematica / ipython

math_demo.py:

A demonstration of editing math equations

1. USAGE

Running the demos:

Just cd to the demo directory and execute the scripts. No installation is needed. External dependencies are textmodel (all demos), wxpython (all demos) and matplotlib (notebook). The demos were tested on linux, windows and mac platforms.

$ cd demo/
$ python demo1.py

Using the wxtextview-widget:

from wxtextview import WXTextView
from textmodel import TextModel

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()
