    This is experimental and subject to change as long as this warning notice
    is present.

Conceptual Overview
-------------------

This module implements the Protractor gesture recognition algorithm.

:class:`Recognizer` is the search/database API similar to
:class:`~kivy.gesture.GestureDatabase`. It maintains a list of
:class:`MultistrokeGesture` objects and allows you to search for a
user-input gestures among them.

:class:`ProgressTracker` tracks the progress of a :meth:`Recognizer.recognize`
call. It can be used to interact with the running recognizer task, for example
forcing it to stop half-way, or analyzing results as they arrive.

:class:`MultistrokeGesture` represents a gesture in the gesture database
(:attr:`Recognizer.db`). It is a container for :class:`UnistrokeTemplate`
objects, and implements the heap permute algorithm to automatically generate
all possible stroke orders (if desired).

:class:`UnistrokeTemplate` represents a single stroke path. It's typically
instantiated automatically by :class:`MultistrokeGesture`, but sometimes you
may need to create them manually.

:class:`Candidate` represents a user-input gesture that is used to search
the gesture database for matches. It is normally instantiated automatically
by calling :meth:`Recognizer.recognize`.

Usage examples
--------------

See :file:`kivy/examples/demo/multistroke/main.py` for a complete application
example.

You can bind to events on :class:`Recognizer` to track the state of all
calls to :meth:`Recognizer.recognize`. The callback function will receive an
instance of :class:`ProgressTracker` that can be used to analyze and control
various aspects of the recognition process ::

    from kivy.vector import Vector
    from kivy.multistroke import Recognizer

    gdb = Recognizer()

    def search_start(gdb, pt):
        print("A search is starting with %d tasks" % (pt.tasks))

    def search_stop(gdb, pt):
        # This will call max() on the result dictionary, so it's best to store
        # it instead of calling it 3 times consecutively
        best = pt.best
        print("Search ended (%s). Best is %s (score %f, distance %f)" % (
            pt.status, best['name'], best['score'], best['dist'] ))

    # Bind your callbacks to track all matching operations
    gdb.bind(on_search_start=search_start)
    gdb.bind(on_search_complete=search_stop)

    # The format below is referred to as `strokes`, a list of stroke paths.
    # Note that each path shown here consists of two points, ie a straight
    # line; if you plot them it looks like a T, hence the name.
    gdb.add_gesture('T', [
        [Vector(30, 7), Vector(103, 7)],
        [Vector(66, 7), Vector(66, 87)]])

    # Now you can search for the 'T' gesture using similar data (user input).
    # This will trigger both of the callbacks bound above.
    gdb.recognize([
        [Vector(45, 8), Vector(110, 12)],
        [Vector(88, 9), Vector(85, 95)]])

On the next :class:`~kivy.clock.Clock` tick, the matching process starts
(and, in this case, completes).

To track individual calls to :meth:`Recognizer.recognize`, use the return
value (also a :class:`ProgressTracker` instance) ::

    # Same as above, but keep track of progress using returned value
    progress = gdb.recognize([
        [Vector(45, 8), Vector(110, 12)],
        [Vector(88, 9), Vector(85, 95)]])

    progress.bind(on_progress=my_other_callback)
    print(progress.progress) # = 0

    # [ assuming a kivy.clock.Clock.tick() here ]

    print(result.progress) # = 1

[docs]class Recognizer(EventDispatcher): ''':class:`Recognizer` provides a gesture database with matching facilities. :Events: `on_search_start` Fired when a new search is started using this Recognizer. `on_search_complete` Fired when a running search ends, for whatever reason. (use :data:`ProgressTracker.status` to find out) :Properties: `db` A :class:`ListProperty` that contains the available :class:`MultistrokeGesture` objects. :attr:`db` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.ListProperty` and defaults to [] ''' db = ListProperty([]) def __init__(self, **kwargs): super(Recognizer, self).__init__(**kwargs) self.register_event_type('on_search_start') self.register_event_type('on_search_complete')
[docs] def filter(self, **kwargs): ''':meth:`filter` returns a subset of objects in :attr:`self.db`, according to given criteria. This is used by many other methods of the :class:`Recognizer`; the arguments below can for example be used when calling :meth:`Recognizer.recognize` or :meth:`Recognizer.export_gesture`. You normally don't need to call this directly. :Arguments: `name` Limits the returned list to gestures where :attr:`MultistrokeGesture.name` matches given regular expression(s). If re.match(name, MultistrokeGesture.name) tests true, the gesture is included in the returned list. Can be a string or an array of strings :: gdb = Recognizer() # Will match all names that start with a capital N # (ie Next, New, N, Nebraska etc, but not "n" or "next") gdb.filter(name='N') # exactly 'N' gdb.filter(name='N$') # Nebraska, teletubbies, France, fraggle, N, n, etc gdb.filter(name=['[Nn]', '(?i)T', '(?i)F']) `priority` Limits the returned list to gestures with certain :attr:`MultistrokeGesture.priority` values. If specified as an integer, only gestures with a lower priority are returned. If specified as a list (min/max) :: # Max priority 50 gdb.filter(priority=50) # Max priority 50 (same result as above) gdb.filter(priority=[0, 50]) # Min priority 50, max 100 gdb.filter(priority=[50, 100]) When this option is used, :attr:`Recognizer.db` is automatically sorted according to priority, incurring extra cost. You can use `force_priority_sort` to override this behavior if your gestures are already sorted according to priority. `orientation_sensitive` Limits the returned list to gestures that are orientation sensitive (True), gestures that are not orientation sensitive (False) or None (ignore template sensitivity, this is the default). `numstrokes` Limits the returned list to gestures that have the specified number of strokes (in :attr:`MultistrokeGesture.strokes`). Can be a single integer or a list of integers. `numpoints` Limits the returned list to gestures that have specific :attr:`MultistrokeGesture.numpoints` values. This is provided for flexibility, do not use it unless you understand what it does. Can be a single integer or a list of integers. `force_priority_sort` Can be used to override the default sort behavior. Normally :class:`MultistrokeGesture` objects are returned in priority order if the `priority` option is used. Setting this to True will return gestures sorted in priority order, False will return in the order gestures were added. None means decide automatically (the default). .. Note :: For improved performance, you can load your gesture database in priority order and set this to False when calling :meth:`Recognizer.recognize` `db` Can be set if you want to filter a different list of objects than :attr:`Recognizer.db`.

[docs]class MultistrokeGesture(object): ''':class:`MultistrokeGesture` represents a gesture. It maintains a set of `strokes` and generates unistroke (ie :class:`UnistrokeTemplate`) permutations that are used for evaluating candidates against this gesture later. :Arguments: `name` Identifies the name of the gesture - it is returned to you in the results of a :meth:`Recognizer.recognize` search. You can have any number of MultistrokeGesture objects with the same name; many definitions of one gesture. The same name is given to all the generated unistroke permutations. Required, no default. `strokes` A list of paths that represents the gesture. A path is a list of Vector objects:: gesture = MultistrokeGesture('my_gesture', strokes=[ [Vector(x1, y1), Vector(x2, y2), ...... ], # stroke 1 [Vector(), Vector(), Vector(), Vector() ] # stroke 2 #, [stroke 3], [stroke 4], ... ]) For template matching purposes, all the strokes are combined to a single list (unistroke). You should still specify the strokes individually, and set `stroke_sensitive` True (whenever possible). Once you do this, unistroke permutations are immediately generated and stored in `self.templates` for later, unless you set the `permute` flag to False. `priority` Determines when :func:`Recognizer.recognize` will attempt to match this template, lower priorities are evaluated first (only if a priority `filter` is used). You should use lower priority on gestures that are more likely to match. For example, set user templates at lower number than generic templates. Default is 100. `numpoints` Determines the number of points this gesture should be resampled to (for matching purposes). The default is 16. `stroke_sensitive` Determines if the number of strokes (paths) in this gesture is required to be the same in the candidate (user input) gesture during matching. If this is False, candidates will always be evaluated, disregarding the number of strokes. Default is True. `orientation_sensitive` Determines if this gesture is orientation sensitive. If True, aligns the indicative orientation with the one of eight base orientations that requires least rotation. Default is True. `angle_similarity` This is used by the :func:`Recognizer.recognize` function when a candidate is evaluated against this gesture. If the angles between them are too far off, the template is considered a non-match. Default is 30.0 (degrees) `permute` If False, do not use Heap Permute algorithm to generate different stroke orders when instantiated.

Quote from http://faculty.washington.edu/wobbrock/pubs/gi-10.2.pdf :: We use Heap Permute [16] (p. 179) to generate all stroke orders in a multistroke gesture. Then, to generate stroke directions for each order, we treat each component stroke as a dichotomous [0,1] variable. There are 2^N combinations for N strokes, so we convert the decimal values 0 to 2^N-1, inclusive, to binary representations and regard each bit as indicating forward (0) or reverse (1). This algorithm is often used to generate truth tables in propositional logic. See section 4.1: "$N Algorithm" of the linked paper for details. .. Warning :: Using heap permute for gestures with more than 3 strokes can result in very large number of templates (a 9-stroke gesture = 38 million templates). If you are dealing with these types of gestures, you should manually compose all the desired stroke orders.
