Description

Note

gtk.Curve is deprecated in GTK+ 2.20 and PyGTK 2.22 since it is too specialized.

The gtk.Curve widget allows the user to edit a curve covering a range of values. It is typically used to fine-tune color balances in graphics applications like the Gimp. The gtk.Curve widget has 3 modes of operation - spline, linear and free. In spline mode the user places points on the curve which are automatically connected together into a smooth curve. In linear mode the user places points on the curve which are connected by straight lines. In free mode the user can draw the points of the curve freely, and they are not connected at all.

Constructor

    gtk.Curve()

Returns :

a new gtk.Curve object

Creates a new gtk.Curve object

Methods

gtk.Curve.reset

    def reset()

The reset() method resets the curve to a straight line from the minimum x and y values to the maximum x and y values (i.e. from the bottom-left to the top-right corners). The curve type is not changed.

gtk.Curve.set_gamma

    def set_gamma(gamma)

gamma :

the gamma value

The set_gamma() method recomputes the entire curve using the value in gamma. A gamma value of 1 results in a straight line. Values greater than 1 result in a curve above the straight line. Values less than 1 result in a curve below the straight line. The curve type is changed to gtk.CURVE_TYPE_FREE.

gtk.Curve.set_range

    def set_range(min_x, max_x, min_y, max_y)

`min_x` :	the new minimum x value
`max_x` :	the maximum x value.
`min_y` :	the new minimum y value
`max_y` :	the maximum y value.

The set_range() method sets the "min-x", "min-y", "max-x" and "max-y" properties frommin_x, min_y,max_x, and max_y. The curve is also reset with a call to reset().

gtk.Curve.get_vector

    def get_vector(size=-1)

`size` :	the number of points to return or -1 to return all the points in the curve.
Returns :	a tuple containing the points

The get_vector() method returns a tuple of points representing the curve. The number of points to return is specified by size; if size is -1 all the points in the curve are returned.

gtk.Curve.set_vector

    def set_vector(vector)

vector :

a list or tuple containing the points of the curve

The set_vector() method sets the curve using the points in vector. The curve type is set to gtk.CURVE_TYPE_FREE.

gtk.Curve.set_curve_type

    def set_curve_type(type)

type :

the new curve type: gtk.CURVE_TYPE_LINEAR, gtk.CURVE_TYPE_SPLINE or gtk.CURVE_TYPE_FREE

The set_curve_type() method sets the "curve-type" property with the value of type. The curve type must be one of gtk.CURVE_TYPE_LINEAR, gtk.CURVE_TYPE_SPLINE or gtk.CURVE_TYPE_FREE. The curve will remain unchanged except when changing from a free curve to a linear or spline curve, in which case the curve will be changed as little as possible.

Signals

The "curve-type-changed" gtk.Curve Signal

    def callback(curve, user_param1, ...)

`curve` :	the curve that received the signal
`user_param1` :	the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` :	additional user parameters (if any)

The "curve-type-changed" signal is emitted when the curve type has been changed. The curve type can be changed explicitly with a call to set_curve_type(). It is also changed as a side-effect of calling reset() or set_gamma()
