IIPP Week 3 - Canvas, drawing, timers

Canvas and Drawing

• The origin for canvas is always in the upper left.
• Always drawing while starting
• Just use draw_test in draw handler
• To draw test
  canvas.draw_text(text, point, font_size, font_color)
• To draw circle
  canvas.draw_circle(center_point, radius, line_width, line_color)

• To set draw handler
  frame.set_draw_handler(draw_handler)

import simplegui

def draw(canvas):
    # [100, 100] is the lower left hand portion of the string 
    canvas.draw_text("Hello!",[100, 100], 24, "White")
    canvas.draw_circle([100, 100], 2, 2, "Red")


frame = simplegui.create_frame("Text drawing", 300, 200)

frame.set_draw_handler(draw)

frame.start()

String Processing

slice

### String Processing

# String literals
s1 = "Rixner's funny"
s2 = 'Warren wears nice ties!'
s3 = " t-shirts!"
#print s1, s2
#print s3

# Combining strings
a = ' and '
s4 = "Warren" + a + "Rixner" + ' are nuts!'
print s4

# Characters and slices
print s1[3]
print len(s1)
print s1[0:6] + s2[6:]
print s2[:13] + s1[9:] + s3

# Converting strings
s5 = str(375)
print s5[1:]
i1 = int(s5[1:])
print i1 + 38

'''
Output:
Warren and Rixner are nuts!

Week 3b - Timers

• To create a timers
  simplegui.create_timer(interval, timer_handler)
• Timer and Draw start constantly when program start and never stop?
