8.1.3. Drawing Object Methods

box (rect) -- Method on drawing

Draw a box just inside a rectangle.

circle (center, radius) -- Method on drawing

Draw a circle with given center point and radius.

elarc (center, (rh, rv), (a1, a2)) -- Method on drawing

Draw an elliptical arc with given center point. (rh, rv) gives the half sizes of the horizontal and vertical radii. (a1, a2) gives the angles (in degrees) of the begin and end points. 0 degrees is at 3 o'clock, 90 degrees is at 12 o'clock.

erase (rect) -- Method on drawing

Erase a rectangle.

fillcircle (center, radius) -- Method on drawing

Draw a filled circle with given center point and radius.

fillelarc (center, (rh, rv), (a1, a2)) -- Method on drawing

Draw a filled elliptical arc; arguments as for elarc.

fillpoly (points) -- Method on drawing

Draw a filled polygon given by a list (or tuple) of points.

invert (rect) -- Method on drawing

Invert a rectangle.

line (p1, p2) -- Method on drawing

Draw a line from point p1 to p2.

paint (rect) -- Method on drawing

Fill a rectangle.

poly (points) -- Method on drawing

Draw the lines connecting the given list (or tuple) of points.

shade (rect, percent) -- Method on drawing

Fill a rectangle with a shading pattern that is about percent percent filled.

text (p, str) -- Method on drawing

Draw a string starting at point p (the point specifies the top left coordinate of the string).

xorcircle (center, radius) -- Method on drawing

xorelarc (center, (rh, rv), (a1, a2)) -- Method on drawing

xorline (p1, p2) -- Method on drawing

xorpoly (points) -- Method on drawing

Draw a circle, an elliptical arc, a line or a polygon, respectively, in XOR mode.

setfgcolor () -- Method on drawing

setbgcolor () -- Method on drawing

getfgcolor () -- Method on drawing

getbgcolor () -- Method on drawing

These functions are similar to the corresponding functions described above for the stdwin module, but affect or return the colors currently used for drawing instead of the global default colors. When a drawing object is created, its colors are set to the window's default colors, which are in turn initialized from the global default colors when the window is created.

setfont () -- Method on drawing

baseline () -- Method on drawing

lineheight () -- Method on drawing

textbreak () -- Method on drawing

textwidth () -- Method on drawing

These functions are similar to the corresponding functions described above for the stdwin module, but affect or use the current drawing font instead of the global default font. When a drawing object is created, its font is set to the window's default font, which is in turn initialized from the global default font when the window is created.

bitmap (point, bitmap, mask) -- Method on drawing

Draw the bitmap with its top left corner at point. If the optional mask argument is present, it should be either the same object as bitmap, to draw only those bits that are set in the bitmap, in the foreground color, or None, to draw all bits (ones are drawn in the foreground color, zeros in the background color).

cliprect (rect) -- Method on drawing

Set the ``clipping region'' to a rectangle. The clipping region limits the effect of all drawing operations, until it is changed again or until the drawing object is closed. When a drawing object is created the clipping region is set to the entire window. When an object to be drawn falls partly outside the clipping region, the set of pixels drawn is the intersection of the clipping region and the set of pixels that would be drawn by the same operation in the absence of a clipping region. clipping region

noclip () -- Method on drawing

Reset the clipping region to the entire window.

close () -- Method on drawing

enddrawing () -- Method on drawing

Discard the drawing object. It should not be used again.
