Base Classes

PtWidget <-- PtBasic <-- PtGauge <-- PtScale

Description

This widget is a horizontal or vertical scale that features major and minor ticks.

Note

This widget does not appear in the Photon documentation.

Instance Variables

scale_flags

This instance variable specifies the general features of the scale, and may be a combination of zero or more of the following flags:

scale_font

A string specifying the font of the label.

scale_major_tick_color

A number specifying the color of the major tick marks. Default is 0x0 (black).

scale_major_tick_division

An integer specifying into how many equal-sized major parts the scale should be divided into. Default is 5.

scale_major_tick_length

A number of pixels specifying the length of the major tick marks. Default is 10.

scale_minor_tick_color

A number specifying the color of the minor tick marks. Default is 0x0 (black).

scale_minor_tick_division

An integer specifying into how many equal-sized minor parts each major division should be divided into. Default is 3.

scale_minor_tick_length

A number of pixels specifying the length of the minor tick marks. Default is 5.
