# ELEMENT AND FUNCTION CALL REFERENCE

Here you will find the details for all Elements, Objects, and Functions that are available to you.  If you want to use a complex element and don't understand the parameters, then this is the right place to come.  For every element you're shown the parameters used to create it as well as all methods available to call.

## Currently PySimpleGUI (tkinter) only

This documentation is created using the PySimpleGUI.py file which means it's based on the tkinter code. Some of the calls are different, might not exist at all, or there may be more methods/functions for the other PySimpleGUI ports (Qt, Wx, Web).  

Work is underway to get the PySimpleGUIQt docstrings completed and corrected.

## Caution - Some functions / methods may be internal only yet exposed in this documentation

This section of the documentation is generated directly from the source code.  As a result, sometimes internal only functions or methods that you are not supposed to be calling are accidently shown in this documentation.  Hopefully these accidents don't happen often.

Here are all of the Elements, the Window & SystemTray classes, and all functions

---------

## Button Element 

    Button Element - Defines all possible buttons. The shortcuts such as Submit, FileBrowse, ... each create a Button

```
Button(button_text = "",
    button_type = 7,
    target = (None, None),
    tooltip = None,
    file_types = (('ALL Files', '*.*'),),
    initial_folder = None,
    default_extension = "",
    disabled = False,
    change_submits = False,
    enable_events = False,
    image_filename = None,
    image_data = None,
    image_size = (None, None),
    image_subsample = None,
    border_width = None,
    size = (None, None),
    s = (None, None),
    auto_size_button = None,
    button_color = None,

`get()`

|Type|Name|Meaning|
|---|---|---|
|Any | None| **return** | Returns the value of what is currently chosen |

```

### update

Changes some of the settings for the Combo Element. Must call `Window.Read` or `Window.Finalize` prior.
Note that the state can be in 3 states only.... enabled, disabled, readonly even
though more combinations are available. The easy way to remember is that if you
change the readonly parameter then you are enabling the element.

## Graph Element 

    Creates an area for you to draw on.  The MAGICAL property this Element has is that you interact
    with the element using your own coordinate system.  This is an important point!!  YOU define where the location
    is for (0,0).  Want (0,0) to be in the middle of the graph like a math 4-quadrant graph?  No problem!  Set your
    lower left corner to be (-100,-100) and your upper right to be (100,100) and you've got yourself a graph with
    (0,0) at the center.
    One of THE coolest of the Elements.
    You can also use float values. To do so, be sure and set the float_values parameter.

## Menu Element 

    Menu Element is the Element that provides a Menu Bar that goes across the top of the window, just below titlebar.
    Here is an example layout.  The "&" are shortcut keys ALT+key.
    Is a List of -  "Item String" + List
    Where Item String is what will be displayed on the Menubar itself.
    The List that follows the item represents the items that are shown then Menu item is clicked
    Notice how an "entry" in a mennu can be a list which means it branches out and shows another menu, etc. (resursive)
    menu_def = [['&File', ['!&Open', '&Save::savekey', '---', '&Properties', 'E&xit']],
                ['!&Edit', ['!&Paste', ['Special', 'Normal', ], 'Undo'], ],
                ['&Debugger', ['Popout', 'Launch Debugger']],
                ['&Toolbar', ['Command &1', 'Command &2', 'Command &3', 'Command &4']],
                ['&Help', '&About...'], ]
    Finally, "keys" can be added to entries so make them unique.  The "Save" entry has a key associated with it. You
    can see it has a "::" which signifies the beginning of a key.  The user will not see the key portion when the
    menu is shown.  The key portion is returned as part of the event.

c - str - can also be a string of the format "foreground on background"  ("white on red")

With the aliases it's possible to write the same print but in more compact ways:
cprint('This will print white text on red background', c=('white', 'red'))
cprint('This will print white text on red background', c='white on red')
cprint('This will print white text on red background', text_color='white', background_color='red')

## Titlebar Element

Note that while the Titlebar is an element, it is implemented using a function.
It is actually a "compound element" that consists of several elements combined into a single Column element.
See the Column element to get a list of method calls available.  The function returns a Column element.

A custom titlebar that replaces the OS provided titlebar, thus giving you control
the is not possible using the OS provided titlebar such as the color.

NOTE LINUX USERS - at the moment the minimize function is not yet working.  Windows users
should have no problem and it should function as a normal window would.

This titlebar is created from a row of elements that is then encapulated into a
single Column element which is what the Titlebar returns to you.

A custom titlebar removes the margins from your window.  Ify ou want the  remainder
of your Window to have margins, place the layout after the Titlebar into a Column and
set the pad of that Column to the dimensions you would like your margins to have.

The Titlebar is a COLUMN element.  You can thus call the update method for the column and
perform operations such as making the column visible/invisible

```
Titlebar(title = "",
    icon = None,
    text_color = None,
    background_color = None,
    font = None,
    key = None,
    k = None)

### add_row

Adds a single row of elements to a window's self.Rows variables.
Generally speaking this is NOT how users should be building Window layouts.

```
add_row(args=*<1 or N object>)
```

### add_rows

Loops through a list of lists of elements and adds each row, list, to the layout.

```python
grab_any_where_on()
```

### hide

Hides the window from the screen and the task bar

## Debug Window Output

Works like a "print" statement but with windowing options.  Routes output to the "Debug Window"

In addition to the normal text and background colors, you can use a "colors" tuple/string
The "colors" or "c" parameter defines both the text and background in a single parm.
It can be a tuple or a single single. Both text and background colors need to be specified
colors -(str, str) or str.  A combined text/background color definition in a single parameter
c - Tuple[str, str] - Colors tuple has format (foreground, backgrouned)
c - str - can also be a string of the format "foreground on background"  ("white on red")

Close a previously opened EasyPrint window

```
EasyPrintClose()
```

Works like a "print" statement but with windowing options.  Routes output to the "Debug Window"

In addition to the normal text and background colors, you can use a "colors" tuple/string
The "colors" or "c" parameter defines both the text and background in a single parm.
It can be a tuple or a single single. Both text and background colors need to be specified
colors -(str, str) or str.  A combined text/background color definition in a single parameter
c - Tuple[str, str] - Colors tuple has format (foreground, backgrouned)
c - str - can also be a string of the format "foreground on background"  ("white on red")

```

## Color Printing to Multiline Element of a Window

Color print to a multiline element in a window of your choice.
Must have EITHER called cprint_set_output_destination prior to making this call so that the
window and element key can be saved and used here to route the output, OR used the window
and key parameters to the cprint function to specicy these items.

args is a variable number of things you want to print.

end - The end char to use just like print uses
sep - The separation character like print uses
text_color - The color of the text
key - overrides the previously defined Multiline key
window - overrides the previously defined window to output to
background_color - The color of the background
colors -(str, str) or str.  A combined text/background color definition in a single parameter

There are also "aliases" for text_color, background_color and colors (t, b, c)
t - An alias for color of the text (makes for shorter calls)
b - An alias for the background_color parameter
c - Tuple[str, str] - "shorthand" way of specifying color. (foreground, backgrouned)
c - str - can also be a string of the format "foreground on background"  ("white on red")

With the aliases it's possible to write the same print but in more compact ways:
cprint('This will print white text on red background', c=('white', 'red'))
cprint('This will print white text on red background', c='white on red')
cprint('This will print white text on red background', text_color='white', background_color='red')
cprint('This will print white text on red background', t='white', b='red')

```
cprint(args=*<1 or N object>,
    end = None,
    sep = " ",
    text_color = None,
    t = None,
    background_color = None,
    b = None,
    colors = None,
    c = None,
    window = None,
    key = None,
    justification = None)

## Popups PEP8 Versions

Popup - Display a popup Window with as many parms as you wish to include.  This is the GUI equivalent of the
"print" statement.  It's also great for "pausing" your program's flow until the user can read some error messages.

```
popup(args=*<1 or N object>,
    title = None,
    button_color = None,
    background_color = None,
    text_color = None,

Show animation one frame at a time.  This function has its own internal clocking meaning you can call it at any frequency
 and the rate the frames of video is shown remains constant.  Maybe your frames update every 30 ms but your
 event loop is running every 10 ms.  You don't have to worry about delaying, just call it every time through the
 loop.

Displays a "notification window", usually in the bottom right corner of your display.  Has an icon, a title, and a message.  It is more like a "toaster" window than the normal popups.

The window will slowly fade in and out if desired.  Clicking on the window will cause it to move through the end the current "phase". For example, if the window was fading in and it was clicked, then it would immediately stop fading in and instead be fully visible.  It's a way for the user to quickly dismiss the window.

The return code specifies why the call is returning (e.g. did the user click the message to dismiss it)

```

### Popup Alias - Same as popup_scrolled

Show a scrolled Popup window containing the user's text that was supplied.  Use with as many items to print as you
want, just like a print statement.

```
sprint(args=*<1 or N object>,
    title = None,
    button_color = None,
    background_color = None,
    text_color = None,
    yes_no = False,

## Popup Not PEP8 Compliant names

*** You should not use these function names! *** 

These versions of the popup functions are here only for backwards compatibility. Instead use the popup functions that have snake_case rather than CamelCase.

Popup - Display a popup Window with as many parms as you wish to include.  This is the GUI equivalent of the
"print" statement.  It's also great for "pausing" your program's flow until the user can read some error messages.

```
Popup(args=*<1 or N object>,
    title = None,
    button_color = None,
    background_color = None,
    text_color = None,
    button_type = 0,
    auto_close = False,
    auto_close_duration = None,
    custom_text = (None, None),
    non_blocking = False,
    icon = None,
    line_width = None,
    font = None,
    no_titlebar = False,
    grab_anywhere = False,
    keep_on_top = False,
    location = (None, None),
    any_key_closes = False,
    image = None,
    modal = True)
```

|              str or bytes               |        image        | Image to include at the top of the popup window |
|                  bool                   |        modal        | If True then makes the popup will behave like a Modal window... all other windows are non-operational until this one is closed. Default = True |

Show animation one frame at a time.  This function has its own internal clocking meaning you can call it at any frequency
 and the rate the frames of video is shown remains constant.  Maybe your frames update every 30 ms but your
 event loop is running every 10 ms.  You don't have to worry about delaying, just call it every time through the
 loop.

```
PopupAnimated(image_source,
    message = None,
    background_color = None,
    text_color = None,
    font = None,
    no_titlebar = True,

    alpha_channel = None,
    time_between_frames = 0,
    transparent_color = None,
    title = "",
    icon = None)

## PEP8 Function Bindings

## Display Objects In a Friendly Way

These functions will return an object as a string that shows each of the object's member variables.  They're nice to use if you want to print any Python object, not just PySimpleGUI ones.

Dumps an Object's values as a formatted string.  Very nicely done. Great way to display an object's member variables in human form

```
obj_to_string(obj, extra = "    ")
```

Parameter Descriptions:

|Type|Name|Meaning|
|--|--|--|
| Any |  obj  | The object to display |
| str | extra | extra stuff (Default value = ' ') |
| (str) | **RETURN** | Formatted output of the object's values

Dumps an Object's values as a formatted string.  Very nicely done. Great way to display an object's member variables in human form

|Type|Name|Meaning|
|--|--|--|
| Any | obj | The object to display |
| (str) | **RETURN** | Formatted output of the object's values

## The Main Program - Test Harness, Global Settings, Debug Information, Upgrade from GitHub

A convention that PySimpleGUI uses is that standalone entry points start with "main_".  These calls are essentially a mini-program within the PySimpleGUI.py file.

Used to get SDK help, test the installation, get information about the versions, upgrade from GitHub.

You can call main() from your code and then access these other features such as the global settings. You can also directly call these functions.

The PySimpleGUI "Test Harness".  This is meant to be a super-quick test of the Elements.

```
main()
```

Collect up and display the data needed to file GitHub issues.
This function will place the information on the clipboard.
You MUST paste the information from the clipboard prior to existing your application.

```
main_get_debug_data(suppress_popup = False)
```

Parameter Descriptions:

|Type|Name|Meaning|
|--|--|--|
| bool | suppress_popup | If True no popup window will be shown. The string will be only returned, not displayed |

## Old Themes (Look and Feel) - Replaced by theme()

You should NOT use these calls.  They are here for your reference should you run into them in existing code.

Change the "color scheme" of all future PySimpleGUI Windows.
The scheme are string names that specify a group of colors. Background colors, text colors, button colors.
There are 13 different color settings that are changed at one time using a single call to ChangeLookAndFeel
The look and feel table itself has these indexes into the dictionary LOOK_AND_FEEL_TABLE.
The original list was (prior to a major rework and renaming)... these names still work...
In Nov 2019 a new Theme Formula was devised to make choosing a theme easier:
The "Formula" is:
["Dark" or "Light"] Color Number
Colors can be Blue Brown Grey Green Purple Red Teal Yellow Black
The number will vary for each pair. There are more DarkGrey entries than there are LightYellow for example.
Default = The default settings (only button color is different than system default)
Default1 = The full system default including the button (everything's gray... how sad... don't be all gray... please....)

```
ChangeLookAndFeel(index, force = False)
```

Parameter Descriptions:

|Type|Name|Meaning|
|--|--|--|
| str  | index | the name of the index into the Look and Feel table (does not have to be exact, can be "fuzzy") |
| bool | force | no longer used |
| None | **RETURN** | None

Get a list of the valid values to pass into your call to change_look_and_feel

```
ListOfLookAndFeelValues()
```

Parameter Descriptions:

|Type|Name|Meaning|
|--|--|--|
| List[str] | **RETURN** | list of valid string values

Displays a "Quick Reference Window" showing all of the different Look and Feel settings that are available.
They are sorted alphabetically.  The legacy color names are mixed in, but otherwise they are sorted into Dark and Light halves

```
preview_all_look_and_feel_themes(columns = 12,
    scrollable = False,
    scroll_area_size = (None, None),
    search_string = None,
    location = (None, None))
```

Parameter Descriptions:

|Type|Name|Meaning|
|--|--|--|
|    int     |     columns      | The number of themes to display per row |
|    bool    |    scrollable    | If True then scrollbars will be added |
| (int, int) | scroll_area_size | Size of the scrollable area (The Column Element used to make scrollable) |
|    str     |  search_string   | If specified then only themes containing this string will be shown |
| (int, int) |     location     | Location on the screen to place the window. Defaults to the center like all windows |

Get a list of the valid values to pass into your call to change_look_and_feel
