-AUI is an Advanced User Interface library that aims to implement "cutting-edge"
-interface usability and design features so developers can quickly and easily create
-beautiful and usable application interfaces.
-
-
-Vision and Design Principles
-============================
-
-AUI attempts to encapsulate the following aspects of the user interface:
-
-* **Frame Management**: Frame management provides the means to open, move and hide common
- controls that are needed to interact with the document, and allow these configurations
- to be saved into different perspectives and loaded at a later time.
-
-* **Toolbars**: Toolbars are a specialized subset of the frame management system and should
- behave similarly to other docked components. However, they also require additional
- functionality, such as "spring-loaded" rebar support, "chevron" buttons and end-user
- customizability.
-
-* **Modeless Controls**: Modeless controls expose a tool palette or set of options that
- float above the application content while allowing it to be accessed. Usually accessed
- by the toolbar, these controls disappear when an option is selected, but may also be
- "torn off" the toolbar into a floating frame of their own.
-
-* **Look and Feel**: Look and feel encompasses the way controls are drawn, both when shown
- statically as well as when they are being moved. This aspect of user interface design
- incorporates "special effects" such as transparent window dragging as well as frame animation.
-
-AUI adheres to the following principles:
-
-- Use native floating frames to obtain a native look and feel for all platforms;
-- Use existing wxPython code where possible, such as sizer implementation for frame management;
-- Use standard wxPython coding conventions.
-
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-The following example shows a simple implementation that uses L{AuiManager} to manage
-three text controls in a frame window::
-
- class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
-
- def __init__(self, parent, id=-1, title="AUI Test", pos=wx.DefaultPosition,
- size=(800, 600), style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE):
-
- wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, pos, size, style)
-
- self._mgr = aui.AuiManager()
-
- # notify AUI which frame to use
- self._mgr.SetManagedWindow(self)
-
- # create several text controls
- text1 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "Pane 1 - sample text",
- wx.DefaultPosition, wx.Size(200,150),
- wx.NO_BORDER | wx.TE_MULTILINE)
-
- text2 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "Pane 2 - sample text",
- wx.DefaultPosition, wx.Size(200,150),
- wx.NO_BORDER | wx.TE_MULTILINE)
-
- text3 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "Main content window",
- wx.DefaultPosition, wx.Size(200,150),
- wx.NO_BORDER | wx.TE_MULTILINE)
-
- # add the panes to the manager
- self._mgr.AddPane(text1, AuiPaneInfo().Left().Caption("Pane Number One"))
- self._mgr.AddPane(text2, AuiPaneInfo().Bottom().Caption("Pane Number Two"))
- self._mgr.AddPane(text3, AuiPaneInfo().CenterPane())
-
- # tell the manager to "commit" all the changes just made
- self._mgr.Update()
-
- self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.OnClose)
-
-
- def OnClose(self, event):
-
- # deinitialize the frame manager
- self._mgr.UnInit()
-
- self.Destroy()
- event.Skip()
-
-
- # our normal wxApp-derived class, as usual
-
- app = wx.PySimpleApp()
-
- frame = MyFrame(None)
- app.SetTopWindow(frame)
- frame.Show()
-
- app.MainLoop()
-

-
-Plus the following features:
-
-- AuiManager:
-
- (a) Implementation of a simple minimize pane system: Clicking on this minimize button causes a new
- AuiToolBar to be created and added to the frame manager, (currently the implementation is such
- that panes at West will have a toolbar at the right, panes at South will have toolbars at the
- bottom etc...) and the pane is hidden in the manager.
- Clicking on the restore button on the newly created toolbar will result in the toolbar being
- removed and the original pane being restored;
- (b) Panes can be docked on top of each other to form `AuiNotebooks`; `AuiNotebooks` tabs can be torn
- off to create floating panes;
- (c) On Windows XP, use the nice sash drawing provided by XP while dragging the sash;
- (d) Possibility to set an icon on docked panes;
- (e) Possibility to draw a sash visual grip, for enhanced visualization of sashes;
- (f) Implementation of a native docking art (`ModernDockArt`). Windows XP only, **requires** Mark Hammond's
- pywin32 package (winxptheme);
- (g) Possibility to set a transparency for floating panes (a la Paint .NET);
- (h) Snapping the main frame to the screen in any positin specified by horizontal and vertical
- alignments;
- (i) Snapping floating panes on left/right/top/bottom or any combination of directions, a la Winamp;
- (j) "Fly-out" floating panes, i.e. panes which show themselves only when the mouse hover them;
- (k) Ability to set custom bitmaps for pane buttons (close, maximize, etc...);
- (l) Implementation of the style ``AUI_MGR_ANIMATE_FRAMES``, which fade-out floating panes when
- they are closed (all platforms which support frames transparency) and show a moving rectangle
- when they are docked and minimized (Windows < Vista and GTK only);
- (m) A pane switcher dialog is available to cycle through existing AUI panes;
- (n) Some flags which allow to choose the orientation and the position of the minimized panes;
- (o) The functions [Get]MinimizeMode() in `AuiPaneInfo` which allow to set/get the flags described above;
- (p) Events like ``EVT_AUI_PANE_DOCKING``, ``EVT_AUI_PANE_DOCKED``, ``EVT_AUI_PANE_FLOATING`` and ``EVT_AUI_PANE_FLOATED`` are
- available for all panes *except* toolbar panes;
- (q) Implementation of the RequestUserAttention method for panes;
- (r) Ability to show the caption bar of docked panes on the left instead of on the top (with caption
- text rotated by 90 degrees then). This is similar to what `wxDockIt` did. To enable this feature on any
- given pane, simply call `CaptionVisible(True, left=True)`;
- (s) New Aero-style docking guides: you can enable them by using the `AuiManager` style ``AUI_MGR_AERO_DOCKING_GUIDES``;
- (t) A slide-in/slide-out preview of minimized panes can be seen by enabling the `AuiManager` style
- ``AUI_MGR_PREVIEW_MINIMIZED_PANES`` and by hovering with the mouse on the minimized pane toolbar tool;
- (u) New Whidbey-style docking guides: you can enable them by using the `AuiManager` style ``AUI_MGR_WHIDBEY_DOCKING_GUIDES``;
- (v) Native of custom-drawn mini frames can be used as floating panes, depending on the ``AUI_MGR_USE_NATIVE_MINIFRAMES`` style;
- (w) A "smooth docking effect" can be obtained by using the ``AUI_MGR_SMOOTH_DOCKING`` style (similar to PyQT docking style).

-
-- AuiNotebook:
-
- (a) Implementation of the style ``AUI_NB_HIDE_ON_SINGLE_TAB``, a la `wx.lib.agw.flatnotebook`;
- (b) Implementation of the style ``AUI_NB_SMART_TABS``, a la `wx.lib.agw.flatnotebook`;
- (c) Implementation of the style ``AUI_NB_USE_IMAGES_DROPDOWN``, which allows to show tab images
- on the tab dropdown menu instead of bare check menu items (a la `wx.lib.agw.flatnotebook`);
- (d) 6 different tab arts are available, namely:
-
- (1) Default "glossy" theme (as in `wx.aui.AuiNotebook`)
- (2) Simple theme (as in `wx.aui.AuiNotebook`)
- (3) Firefox 2 theme
- (4) Visual Studio 2003 theme (VC71)
- (5) Visual Studio 2005 theme (VC81)
- (6) Google Chrome theme
-
- (e) Enabling/disabling tabs;
- (f) Setting the colour of the tab's text;
- (g) Implementation of the style ``AUI_NB_CLOSE_ON_TAB_LEFT``, which draws the tab close button on
- the left instead of on the right (a la Camino browser);
- (h) Ability to save and load perspectives in `AuiNotebook` (experimental);
- (i) Possibility to add custom buttons in the `AuiNotebook` tab area;
- (j) Implementation of the style ``AUI_NB_TAB_FLOAT``, which allows the floating of single tabs.
- Known limitation: when the notebook is more or less full screen, tabs cannot be dragged far
- enough outside of the notebook to become floating pages;
- (k) Implementation of the style ``AUI_NB_DRAW_DND_TAB`` (on by default), which draws an image
- representation of a tab while dragging;
- (l) Implementation of the `AuiNotebook` unsplit functionality, which unsplit a splitted AuiNotebook
- when double-clicking on a sash;
- (m) Possibility to hide all the tabs by calling `HideAllTAbs`;
- (n) wxPython controls can now be added inside page tabs by calling `AddControlToPage`, and they can be
- removed by calling `RemoveControlFromPage`;
- (o) Possibility to preview all the pages in a `AuiNotebook` (as thumbnails) by using the `NotebookPreview`
- method of `AuiNotebook`;
- (p) Tab labels can be edited by calling the `SetRenamable` method on a `AuiNotebook` page;
- (q) Support for multi-lines tab labels in `AuiNotebook`;
- (r) Support for setting minimum and maximum tab widths for fixed width tabs;
- (s) Implementation of the style ``AUI_NB_ORDER_BY_ACCESS``, which orders the tabs by last access time
- inside the Tab Navigator dialog;
- (t) Implementation of the style ``AUI_NB_NO_TAB_FOCUS``, allowing the developer not to draw the tab
- focus rectangle on tne `AuiNotebook` tabs.
-
-|
-
-- AuiToolBar:
-
- (a) ``AUI_TB_PLAIN_BACKGROUND`` style that allows to easy setup a plain background to the AUI toolbar,
- without the need to override drawing methods. This style contrasts with the default behaviour
- of the `wx.aui.AuiToolBar` that draws a background gradient and this break the window design when
- putting it within a control that has margin between the borders and the toolbar (example: put
- `wx.aui.AuiToolBar` within a `wx.StaticBoxSizer` that has a plain background);
- (b) `AuiToolBar` allow item alignment: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10174;
- (c) `AUIToolBar` `DrawButton()` improvement: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10303;
- (d) `AuiToolBar` automatically assign new id for tools: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10173;
- (e) `AuiToolBar` Allow right-click on any kind of button: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10079;
- (f) `AuiToolBar` idle update only when visible: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/10075;
- (g) Ability of creating `AuiToolBar` tools with [counter]clockwise rotation. This allows to propose a
- variant of the minimizing functionality with a rotated button which keeps the caption of the pane
- as label;
- (h) Allow setting the alignment of all tools in a toolbar that is expanded.
-
-
-TODOs
-=====
-
-- Documentation, documentation and documentation;
-- Fix `tabmdi.AuiMDIParentFrame` and friends, they do not work correctly at present;
-- Allow specification of `CaptionLeft()` to `AuiPaneInfo` to show the caption bar of docked panes
- on the left instead of on the top (with caption text rotated by 90 degrees then). This is
- similar to what `wxDockIt` did - DONE;
-- Make developer-created `AuiNotebooks` and automatic (framemanager-created) `AuiNotebooks` behave
- the same way (undocking of tabs) - DONE, to some extent;
-- Find a way to dock panes in already floating panes (`AuiFloatingFrames`), as they already have
- their own `AuiManager`;
-- Add more gripper styles (see, i.e., PlusDock 4.0);
-- Add an "AutoHide" feature to docked panes, similar to fly-out floating panes (see, i.e., PlusDock 4.0);
-- Add events for panes when they are about to float or to be docked (something like
- ``EVT_AUI_PANE_FLOATING/ED`` and ``EVT_AUI_PANE_DOCKING/ED``) - DONE, to some extent;
-- Implement the 4-ways splitter behaviour for horizontal and vertical sashes if they intersect;
-- Extend `tabart.py` with more aui tab arts;
-- Implement ``AUI_NB_LEFT`` and ``AUI_NB_RIGHT`` tab locations in `AuiNotebook`;
-- Move `AuiDefaultToolBarArt` into a separate module (as with `tabart.py` and `dockart.py`) and
- provide more arts for toolbars (maybe from `wx.lib.agw.flatmenu`?)
-- Support multiple-rows/multiple columns toolbars;
-- Integrate as much as possible with `wx.lib.agw.flatmenu`, from dropdown menus in `AuiNotebook` to
- toolbars and menu positioning;
-- Possibly handle minimization of panes in a different way (or provide an option to switch to
- another way of minimizing panes);
-- Clean up/speed up the code, especially time-consuming for-loops;
-- Possibly integrate `wxPyRibbon` (still on development), at least on Windows.
