Following are notes of my first impressions when running the examples provided; this is not saying that the behavior of the widgets should be changed; it is more to open a discussion, because the object behavior differed from my intuitive expectation.

EntryGrid & LabelGrid:

Should probably be able to choose which row to delete.
adding/deleting a row would be better if it did not move the buttons --> maybe place them on top & set the width?

Graph:

Should probably be resizable with the window, by default

Led:

Maybe a click on the LED should toggle the on/off?
...or maybe not?
In the examples: led.to_grey does not accept an argument; this is inconsistent with the other colors. Maybe it should take an arg, but ignore it?

RotaryScale:

In the examples, the increments go over 100 while neither the display nor the gauge do.
That is, after clicking over 100, reversing of the dial, and values, are lagging when pressing decrement.
The same is true at the other end of the scale.
It seemed a bit odd.

Cheers.
Fred

Similar to EntryGrid and LabelGrid, just with buttons so that one might easily assign actions to buttons (think calculator).

Hi,
is it possible to translate in different languages the Calendar widget? For exxample, months and days, that are displayed in the Calendar.
Thanks

Hello, i am having trouble to remove white border around the gauges.
I try what i found on the internet but it doesn't help.

Hi,
is it possible to add text as first element in table?

Is there a way to change the background color of the frame in the LED widget?
Its always a white square with the led in the center. Typical frame color options error out such as bg='grey' or background='grey'
in the docs it says **options "The frame options". What exactly are the frame options?

Thank you.

The default behavior should be based on the enabled state of the block before the load.

There is no way to change the fonts.

    helv36 = font.Font(family='Helvetica', size=12, weight='bold')
    self.driver = tk_tools.KeyValueEntry(
        root,
        width=guage_width,font=helv36,
        title='Driver',
        keys=['Name', 'Id', 'Trips'],
        enables=[False, False,False] 
         )

fails with

I am using tk-tools for first time and I am trying to temporarily
disable the smart option menu and re-enable later.

I used this I found in the docs:

tk_tools.enable=False

which doesn't seem to work, I can find no way
of refreshing the widget either,

working on the assigned name of the widget (drop_down in my case)
doesn't work either, causes an error.

Any ideas?

Since ef464f1 there is engineering-notation
Are there any more?

I am trying to dynamically change the gauge parameters for min/max value and update the value for the gauge but cannot figure out how to do this. Is it possible with this module?

from tkinter import *
import tk_tools
from time import sleep

root = Tk()


gauge = tk_tools.Gauge(root, 
                       min_value=20.0,
                       max_value=65.0,
                       divisions=int((65-20)/5),
                       red_low=25,
                       yellow_low=35,
                       yellow=55,
                       red=60,
                      )
                       
gauge.set_value(10)
gauge.pack()
i=20

loop = True
while loop:
    try:     
        gauge.update()

        if i < 25:
            gauge.pack_forget()
            gauge = tk_tools.Gauge(root, 
                       min_value=i,
                       max_value=65.0,
                       divisions=int((65-20)/5),
                       red_low=25,
                       yellow_low=35,
                       yellow=55,
                       red=60,
                      )
            gauge.pack()
            
        gauge.set_value(i)
        gauge.pack()
        i+= 1
        if i>25:
            i = 20
        sleep(0.1)	
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        root.quit()
        loop = False

Check this out:

import tkinter as tk
import tk_tools
import threading, random, time


class Runner(threading.Thread):
	def __init__(self, rscale, pause):
		threading.Thread.__init__(self)
		self.rscale = rscale
		self.pause = pause

	def run(self):
		while True:
			self.rscale.set_value(random.randint(0, 101))
			time.sleep(self.pause)


root = tk.Tk()
rs = tk_tools.RotaryScale(root, max_value=100.0, size=100, unit='km/h')
rs.grid(row=0, column=0)

Runner(rs, 0.02).start()

root.mainloop()

If increase the pause to 0.1 it's fine, but what is causing this in first place?

I noticed some docstrings start with an r prior to the triple quotes; what is the reason?

class Widget:  
    r"""a class to represent widgets
    """

I read the documentation several times but I did not find a attribute to set the initial day of the calendar when it pop up. ¿Is there anyway to do that? If not, I think its a good point to improve. This project is wonderful, congrats.

how can i create a transparent Gauge? (on a canvas), also is it possible to change the standart image?

Hi,
is it possible to style tk_tools widgets with tkinter.ttk or ttk_themes?
Thanks

In the style of 'readthedocs'

Add on_click toggle functionality with the possibility for callbacks.

For instance, when user clicks an led that is red and off, then the LED turns on and calls any associated on callback.

Copy and paste error

Pull in the calendar from

https://github.com/moshekaplan/tkinter_components

Looks nice, highly functional, win-win!

if I update the e.g. min_value after creation the middle value above the gauge is not updated.
Is there a solution for this?
See example script/images

testscripts.zip

Thanks for any help

Hello I've done this for my students
please see: https://github.com/naejgz/tk-tools
but I don't know how to ask for a pull request

Gauge2 : modifications from Gauge
************************
3 numeric values added : min, center, max,
and meter a bit flatter to accept center value
small correction of the rate for green yellow red zones
now 80% gives 2 red among 10 divisions
now yellow and red zone size can change
yellow and red zone also for too small values
readout still active with RED BG if values OFF limits
suppressed (commented) : create second half part
suppressed integer conversion on extend to not accumulate decimal loss errors
idem on value
math correction now min_value can be different from 0 or negative

To be more compatible with readthedocs.io

The example spreadsheet_handle.py has not been removed from the examples after SpreadSheetReader was removed from the package. So when trying to run it we get the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "spreadsheet_handle.py", line 9, in <module>
    sheet_handle = tk_tools.SpreadSheetReader(root,
AttributeError: module 'tk_tools' has no attribute 'SpreadSheetReader'

Probably a single-key instance of KeyValueEntry.
