TabbedPanel
===========

.. image:: images/tabbed_panel.jpg
    :align: right

.. versionadded:: 1.3.0


The `TabbedPanel` widget manages different widgets in tabs, with a header area
for the actual tab buttons and a content area for showing the current tab
content.

The :class:`TabbedPanel` provides one default tab.

Simple example
--------------

.. include:: ../../examples/widgets/tabbedpanel.py
    :literal:

.. note::

    A new class :class:`TabbedPanelItem` has been introduced in 1.5.0 for
    convenience. So now one can simply add a :class:`TabbedPanelItem` to a
    :class:`TabbedPanel` and `content` to the :class:`TabbedPanelItem`
    as in the example provided above.

Customize the Tabbed Panel
--------------------------

You can choose the position in which the tabs are displayed::

    tab_pos = 'top_mid'

An individual tab is called a TabbedPanelHeader. It is a special button
containing a `content` property. You add the TabbedPanelHeader first, and set
its `content` property separately::

    tp = TabbedPanel()
    th = TabbedPanelHeader(text='Tab2')
    tp.add_widget(th)

An individual tab, represented by a TabbedPanelHeader, needs its content set.
This content can be any widget. It could be a layout with a deep
hierarchy of widgets, or it could be an individual widget, such as a label or a
button::

    th.content = your_content_instance

There is one "shared" main content area active at any given time, for all
the tabs. Your app is responsible for adding the content of individual tabs
and for managing them, but it's not responsible for content switching. The
tabbed panel handles switching of the main content object as per user action.

There is a default tab added when the tabbed panel is instantiated.
Tabs that you add individually as above, are added in addition to the default
tab. Thus, depending on your needs and design, you will want to customize the
default tab::

    tp.default_tab_text = 'Something Specific To Your Use'


The default tab machinery requires special consideration and management.
Accordingly, an `on_default_tab` event is provided for associating a callback::

    tp.bind(default_tab = my_default_tab_callback)

It's important to note that by default, :attr:`default_tab_cls` is of type
:class:`TabbedPanelHeader` and thus has the same properties as other tabs.

Since 1.5.0, it is now possible to disable the creation of the
:attr:`default_tab` by setting :attr:`do_default_tab` to False.

Tabs and content can be removed in several ways::

    tp.remove_widget(widget/tabbed_panel_header)
    or
    tp.clear_widgets() # to clear all the widgets in the content area
    or
    tp.clear_tabs() # to remove the TabbedPanelHeaders

To access the children of the tabbed panel, use content.children::

    tp.content.children

To access the list of tabs::

    tp.tab_list

To change the appearance of the main tabbed panel content::

    background_color = (1, 0, 0, .5) #50% translucent red
    border = [0, 0, 0, 0]
    background_image = 'path/to/background/image'

To change the background of a individual tab, use these two properties::

    tab_header_instance.background_normal = 'path/to/tab_head/img'
    tab_header_instance.background_down = 'path/to/tab_head/img_pressed'

A TabbedPanelStrip contains the individual tab headers. To change the
appearance of this tab strip, override the canvas of TabbedPanelStrip.
For example, in the kv language:

.. code-block:: kv

    <TabbedPanelStrip>
        canvas:
            Color:
                rgba: (0, 1, 0, 1) # green
            Rectangle:
                size: self.size
                pos: self.pos

By default the tabbed panel strip takes its background image and color from the
tabbed panel's background_image and background_color.
