Hello,
I want to put this question out there before diving into the code. I am
trying to write a python script which can update the active_display
multiple times within the same script. Basically an animation.
I have been experimenting with the different update methods
(add_update_all, update_connectitons, update_extends, flush) at
different levels (dia, dia.active_display(), dia.active_display().diagram).
Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get this working?
#Make an ellipse object blink
import dia
import time
def main(data,flags):
"""
Arguments:
- `data`:
- `flags`:
"""
d= dia.active_display().diagram
layer = d.data.active_layer
objects = layer.objects
#find an ellipse object
ellipse = None
for obj in objects:
if obj.type.name == "Standard - Ellipse":
ellipse = obj
break
if not ellipse:
#no ellipse was found don't do anything
return
for x in range(10):
ellipse.properties['fill_colour'] = "red"
print "RED"
d.add_update_all()
d.flush()
time.sleep(1)
ellipse.properties['fill_colour'] = "white"
print "WHITE"
d.add_update_all()
time.sleep(1)
dia.register_action("Blinker","Blinker",
"/DisplayMenu/Dialogs/DialogsExtensionStart",
main)
Thank you in advance,
Philip
