Clock object
============
The :class:`Clock` object allows you to schedule a function call in the
future; once or repeatedly at specified intervals. You can get the time
elapsed between the scheduling and the calling of the callback via the
`dt` argument::
# dt means delta-time
def my_callback(dt):
pass
# call my_callback every 0.5 seconds
Clock.schedule_interval(my_callback, 0.5)
# call my_callback in 5 seconds
Clock.schedule_once(my_callback, 5)
# call my_callback as soon as possible (usually next frame.)
Clock.schedule_once(my_callback)
.. note::
If the callback returns False, the schedule will be canceled and won't
repeat.
If you want to schedule a function to call with default arguments, you can use
the `functools.partial
<http://docs.python.org/library/functools.html#functools.partial>`_ python
module::
from functools import partial
def my_callback(value, key, *largs):
pass
Clock.schedule_interval(partial(my_callback, 'my value', 'my key'), 0.5)
Conversely, if you want to schedule a function that doesn't accept the dt
argument, you can use a `lambda
<http://docs.python.org/2/reference/expressions.html#lambda>`_ expression
to write a short function that does accept dt. For Example::
def no_args_func():
print("I accept no arguments, so don't schedule me in the clock")
Clock.schedule_once(lambda dt: no_args_func(), 0.5)
.. note::
You cannot unschedule an anonymous function unless you keep a
reference to it. It's better to add \*args to your function
definition so that it can be called with an arbitrary number of
parameters.
.. important::
The callback is weak-referenced: you are responsible for keeping a
reference to your original object/callback. If you don't keep a
reference, the ClockBase will never execute your callback. For
example::
class Foo(object):
def start(self):
Clock.schedule_interval(self.callback, 0.5)
def callback(self, dt):
print('In callback')
# A Foo object is created and the method start is called.
# Because no reference is kept to the instance returned from Foo(),
# the object will be collected by the Python Garbage Collector and
# your callback will be never called.
Foo().start()
# So you should do the following and keep a reference to the instance
# of foo until you don't need it anymore!
foo = Foo()
foo.start()
.. _schedule-before-frame:
Schedule before frame
---------------------
.. versionadded:: 1.0.5
Sometimes you need to schedule a callback BEFORE the next frame. Starting
from 1.0.5, you can use a timeout of -1::
Clock.schedule_once(my_callback, 0) # call after the next frame
Clock.schedule_once(my_callback, -1) # call before the next frame
The Clock will execute all the callbacks with a timeout of -1 before the
next frame even if you add a new callback with -1 from a running
callback. However, :class:`Clock` has an iteration limit for these
callbacks: it defaults to 10.
If you schedule a callback that schedules a callback that schedules a ... etc
more than 10 times, it will leave the loop and send a warning to the console,
then continue after the next frame. This is implemented to prevent bugs from
hanging or crashing the application.
If you need to increase the limit, set the :attr:`max_iteration` property::
from kivy.clock import Clock
Clock.max_iteration = 20
.. _triggered-events:
Triggered Events
----------------
.. versionadded:: 1.0.5
A triggered event is a way to defer a callback. It functions exactly like
schedule_once() and schedule_interval() except that it doesn't immediately
schedule the callback. Instead, one schedules the callback using the
:class:`ClockEvent` returned by it. This ensures that you can call the event
multiple times but it won't be scheduled more than once. This is not the case
with :meth:`Clock.schedule_once`::
# will run the callback twice before the next frame
Clock.schedule_once(my_callback)
Clock.schedule_once(my_callback)
# will run the callback once before the next frame
event = Clock.create_trigger(my_callback)
event()
event()
# will also run the callback only once before the next frame
event = Clock.schedule_once(my_callback) # now it's already scheduled
event() # won't be scheduled again
event()
In addition, it is more convenient to create and bind to
the triggered event than using :meth:`Clock.schedule_once` in a function::
from kivy.clock import Clock
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
class Sample(Widget):
def __init__(self, **kwargs):
self._trigger = Clock.create_trigger(self.cb)
super(Sample, self).__init__(**kwargs)
self.bind(x=self._trigger, y=self._trigger)
def cb(self, *largs):
pass
Even if x and y changes within one frame, the callback is only run once.
:meth:`CyClockBase.create_trigger` has a timeout parameter that
behaves exactly like :meth:`CyClockBase.schedule_once`.
.. versionchanged:: 1.10.0
:meth:`CyClockBase.create_trigger` now has a ``interval`` parameter.
If False, the default, it'll create an event similar to
:meth:`CyClockBase.schedule_once`. Otherwise it'll create an event
similar to :meth:`CyClockBase.schedule_interval`.
Unscheduling
-------------
An event scheduled with :meth:`CyClockBase.schedule_once`,
:meth:`CyClockBase.schedule_interval`, or with
:meth:`CyClockBase.create_trigger` and then triggered can be unscheduled in
multiple ways. E.g::
def my_callback(dt):
pass
# call my_callback every 0.5 seconds
event = Clock.schedule_interval(my_callback, 0.5)
# call my_callback in 5 seconds
event2 = Clock.schedule_once(my_callback, 5)
event_trig = Clock.create_trigger(my_callback, 5)
event_trig()
# unschedule using cancel
event.cancel()
# unschedule using Clock.unschedule
Clock.unschedule(event2)
# unschedule using Clock.unschedule with the callback
# NOT RECOMMENDED
Clock.unschedule(my_callback)
The best way to unschedule a callback is with :meth:`ClockEvent.cancel`.
:meth:`CyClockBase.unschedule` is mainly an alias for that for that function.
However, if the original callback itself is passed to
:meth:`CyClockBase.unschedule`, it'll unschedule all instances of that
callback (provided ``all`` is True, the default, other just the first match is
removed).
Calling :meth:`CyClockBase.unschedule` on the original callback is highly
discouraged because it's significantly slower than when using the event.
Threading and Callback Order
-----------------------------
Beginning with 1.10.0, all the events scheduled for the same frame, e.g.
all the events scheduled in the same frame with a ``timeout`` of ``0``,
well be executed in the order they were scheduled.
Also, all the scheduling and canceling methods are fully thread safe and
can be safely used from external threads.
As a a consequence, calling :meth:`CyClockBase.unschedule` with the original
callback is now significantly slower and highly discouraged. Instead, the
returned events should be used to cancel. As a tradeoff, all the other methods
are now significantly faster than before.
Advanced Clock Details
-----------------------
The following section goes into the internal kivy clock details as well
as the various clock options. It is meant only for advanced users.
Fundamentally, the Kivy clock attempts to execute any scheduled callback
rhythmically as determined by the specified fps (frame per second, see
``maxfps`` in :mod:`~kivy.config`). That is, ideally, given e.g. a desired fps
of 30, the clock will execute the callbacks at intervals of 1 / 30 seconds, or
every 33.33 ms. All the callbacks in a frame are given the same timestamp,
i.e. the ``dt`` passed to the callback are all the same and it's the difference
in time between the start of this and the previous frame.
Because of inherent indeterminism, the frames do not actually occur exactly
at intervals of the fps and ``dt`` may be under or over the desired fps.
Also, once the timeout is "close enough" to the desired timeout, as determined
internally, Kivy will execute the callback in the current frame even when the
"actual time" has not elapsed the ``timeout`` amount.
Kivy offers now, since ``1.10.0``, multiple clocks with different behaviors.
Default Clock
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The default clock (``default``) behaves as described above. When a callback
with a timeout of zero or non-zero is scheduled, they are executed at the frame
that is near the timeout, which is a function of the fps. So a timeout of zero
would still result in a delay of one frame or about 1 / fps, typically a bit
less but sometimes more depending on the CPU usage of the other events
scheduled for that frame.
In a test using a fps of 30, a callback with a timeout of 0, 0.001, and 0.05,
resulted in a mean callback delay of 0.02487, 0.02488, and 0.05011 seconds,
respectively. When tested with a fps of 600 the delay for 0.05 was similar,
except the standard deviation was reduced resulting in overall better accuracy.
Interruptible Clock
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The default clock suffers from the quantization problem, as frames occur only
on intervals and any scheduled timeouts will not be able to occur during an
interval. For example, with the timeout of 0.05, while the mean was 0.05011,
its values ranged between 0.02548 - 0.07348 and a standard deviation of 0.002.
Also, there's the minimum timeout of about 0.02487.
The interruptible clock (``interrupt``) will execute timeouts even during a
frame. So a timeout of zero will execute as quickly as possible and similarly
a non-zero timeout will be executed even during the interval.
This clock, and all the clocks described after this have an option,
:attr:`ClockBaseInterruptBehavior.interupt_next_only`. When True, any of the
behavior new behavior will only apply to the callbacks with a timeout of
zero. Non-zero timeouts will behave like in the default clock. E.g. for this
clock when True, only zero timeouts will execute during the the interval.
In a test using a fps of 30, a callback with a timeout of 0, 0.001, and 0.05,
resulted in a mean callback delay of 0.00013, 0.00013, and 0.04120 seconds,
respectively when :attr:`ClockBaseInterruptBehavior.interupt_next_only` was
False. Also, compared to the default clock the standard deviation was reduced.
When :attr:`ClockBaseInterruptBehavior.interupt_next_only` was True, the values
were 0.00010, 0.02414, and 0.05034, respectively.
Free Clock
^^^^^^^^^^^
The interruptible clock may not be ideal for all cases because all the events
are executed during the intervals and events are not executed anymore
rhythmically as multiples of the fps. For example, there may not be any benefit
for the graphics to update in a sub-interval, so the additional accuracy
wastes CPU.
The Free clock (``free_all``) solves this by having ``Clock.xxx_free`` versions
of all the Clock scheduling methods. By free, we mean the event is free from
the fps because it's not fps limited. E.g.
:meth:`CyClockBaseFree.create_trigger_free` corresponds to
:meth:`CyClockBase.create_trigger`. Only when an event scheduled using the
``Clock.xxx_free`` methods is present will the clock interrupt and execute
the events during the interval. So, if no ``free`` event is present the clock
behaves like the ``default`` clock, otherwise it behaves like the ``interrupt``
clock.
In a test using a fps of 30, a callback with a timeout of 0s, 0.001s, and
0.05s, resulted in a mean callback delay of 0.00012s, 0.00017s, and 0.04121s
seconds, respectively when it was a free event and 0.02403s, 0.02405s, and
0.04829s, respectively when it wasn't.
Free Only Clock
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Free clock executes all events when a free event was scheduled. This
results in normal events also being execute in the middle of the interval
when a free event is scheduled. For example, above, when a free event was
absent, a normal event with a 0.001s timeout was delayed for 0.02405s. However,
if a free event happened to be also scheduled, the normal event was only
delayed 0.00014s, which may be undesirable.
The Free only clock (``free_only``) solves it by only executing free events
during the interval and normal events are always executed like with the
default clock. For example, in the presence of a free event, a normal event
with a timeout of 0.001s still had a delay of 0.02406. So this clock,
treats free and normal events independently, with normal events always being
fps limited, but never the free events.
Summary
^^^^^^^^
The kivy clock type to use can be set with the ``kivy_clock`` option the
:mod:`~kivy.config`. If ``KIVY_CLOCK`` is present in the environment it
overwrites the config selection. Its possible values are as follows:
* When ``kivy_clock`` is ``default``, the normal clock, :class:`ClockBase`,
which limits callbacks to the maxfps quantization - is used.
* When ``kivy_clock`` is ``interrupt``, a interruptible clock,
:class:`ClockBaseInterrupt`, which doesn't limit any callbacks to the
maxfps - is used. Callbacks will be executed at any time.
* When ``kivy_clock`` is ``free_all``, a interruptible clock,
:class:`ClockBaseFreeInterruptAll`, which doesn't limit any callbacks to the
maxfps in the presence of free events, but in their absence it limits events
to the fps quantization interval - is used.
* When ``kivy_clock`` is ``free_only``, a interruptible clock,
:class:`ClockBaseFreeInterruptAll`, which treats free and normal events
independently; normal events are fps limited while free events are not - is
used.

calling and only one of them wil be triggered.
@triggered(timeout, interval=False)
def callback(id):
print('The callback has been called with id=%d' % id)
>> callback(id=1)
>> callback(id=2)
The callback has been called with id=2
The decorated callback can also be unscheduled using:
>> callback.cancel()
