RectData

It’s a class.

It basically defines Rectangle’s dimension.

Every Panel/Button has a RectData instance. It’s the RectData object, that is checked if it’s under the cursor, for all the events.

technical detail

Its functions and properties will change for optimization. This class will benefit from ctypes/cython.

def __init__ (self, xMin=0, yMin=0, width=0, height=0):
    ...
    ...

xMin, yMin are distance from left and bottom side of area/region respectively. (xMin,yMin) is bottom-left point.

Methods:

Note

This class has many methods and static methods that do basic things, like scaling, union, intersection etc, they will be documented later

I am writing about 4 methods, getBottom , getTop , getLeft , getRight . They are used to create and return new RectData instance in the direction suggested by their name.

def getBottom(space=0):
    ...
    ...

def getTop(space=0):
    ...
    ...

def getRight(space=0):
    ...
    ...

def getLeft(space=0):
    ...
    ...

all 4 work similar and even though it has many parameters, space is only parameter kind of final yet. You can find it’s example in Boss UI tutorial

Notes:

• because every UI is drawn in screen space, xMin,yMin,width,height should mostly be integers, though you can pass float as well.

• To get mouse position you can use mouse_x, mouse_y = UICreator.mouse_xy(op)
