Hi!
I wonder how I can use a Decoration widget to pad a line with something
different from whitespaces:
I have a Column of text widgets and a very long string.
If I render my Column line I get something like this
^|first text|second text|third text| $
Here ^ is the begining of the line on the screen, $ marks the end.
All texts but the last one are give as fixed length:
first = firststring
second = secondstring
third = thirdstring
Columms([('fixed', len(first), Text(first)),
('fixed', len(second), Text(second)),
Text(third, wrap='clip')])
The reason I don't fix the length of the last string is because its length
varies
and if its long, longer as the space on the screen, it doesn't get displayed at
all.
Lets say my long string is pi =
'3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307'.
I want to render the above line as
^|first text|second text|third text|3.1415926535897932384626$
Now, I add the long string as a Column.
If I fix the third text widget as ('fixed', len(third), Text(third)),
and if it is long, it doesn't fill the line with a prefix.
If I don't fix it and also not the pi-string, both get weight 1, which results
in something like this:
^|first text|second text| long third text cut|3.141592653589$,
both pi and the last string get equal size.
If i fix both:
('fixed', len(third), Text(third)),
('fixed', len(pi), Text(pi)),
pi never gets displayed as it is always larger than my screen.
So, I want something like padding, but with a custom string instead of ' '.
What's the easiest way to do this?
Thanks!
/p
