Widget class
============

The :class:`Widget` class is the base class required for creating Widgets.
This widget class was designed with a couple of principles in mind:

* *Event Driven*

  Widget interaction is built on top of events that occur. If a property
  changes, the widget can respond to the change in the 'on_<propname>'
  callback. If nothing changes, nothing will be done. That's the main
  goal of the :class:`~kivy.properties.Property` class.

* *Separation Of Concerns (the widget and its graphical representation)*

  Widgets don't have a `draw()` method. This is done on purpose: The idea
  is to allow you to create your own graphical representation outside the
  widget class.
  Obviously you can still use all the available properties to do that, so
  that your representation properly reflects the widget's current state.
  Every widget has its own :class:`~kivy.graphics.Canvas` that you
  can use to draw. This separation allows Kivy to run your
  application in a very efficient manner.

* *Bounding Box / Collision*

  Often you want to know if a certain point is within the bounds of your
  widget. An example would be a button widget where you only want to
  trigger an action when the button itself is actually touched.
  For this, you can use the :meth:`~Widget.collide_point` method, which
  will return True if the point you pass to it is inside the axis-aligned
  bounding box defined by the widget's position and size.
  If a simple AABB is not sufficient, you can override the method to
  perform the collision checks with more complex shapes, e.g. a polygon.
  You can also check if a widget collides with another widget with
  :meth:`~Widget.collide_widget`.


We also have some default values and behaviors that you should be aware of:

* A :class:`Widget` is not a :class:`~kivy.uix.layout.Layout`: it will not
  change the position or the size of its children. If you want control over
  positioning or sizing, use a :class:`~kivy.uix.layout.Layout`.

* The default size of a widget is (100, 100). This is only changed if the
  parent is a :class:`~kivy.uix.layout.Layout`.
  For example, if you add a :class:`Label` inside a
  :class:`Button`, the label will not inherit the button's size or position
  because the button is not a *Layout*: it's just another *Widget*.

* The default size_hint is (1, 1). If the parent is a :class:`Layout`, then the
  widget size will be the parent layout's size.

* :meth:`~Widget.on_touch_down`, :meth:`~Widget.on_touch_move`,
  :meth:`~Widget.on_touch_up` don't do any sort of collisions. If you want to
  know if the touch is inside your widget, use :meth:`~Widget.collide_point`.

Using Properties
----------------

When you read the documentation, all properties are described in the format::

    <name> is a <property class> and defaults to <default value>.

e.g.

    :attr:`~kivy.uix.label.Label.text` is a
    :class:`~kivy.properties.StringProperty` and defaults to ''.

If you want to be notified when the pos attribute changes, i.e. when the
widget moves, you can bind your own callback function like this::

    def callback_pos(instance, value):
        print('The widget', instance, 'moved to', value)

    wid = Widget()
    wid.bind(pos=callback_pos)

Read more about :doc:`/api-kivy.properties`.

Basic drawing
-------------

Widgets support a range of drawing instructions that you can use to customize
the look of your widgets and layouts. For example, to draw a background image
for your widget, you can do the following:

.. code-block:: python

    def redraw(self, args):
        self.bg_rect.size = self.size
        self.bg_rect.pos = self.pos

    widget = Widget()
    with widget.canvas:
        widget.bg_rect = Rectangle(source="cover.jpg", pos=self.pos, \
size=self.size)
    widget.bind(pos=redraw, size=redraw)

To draw a background in kv:

.. code-block:: kv

    Widget:
        canvas:
            Rectangle:
                source: "cover.jpg"
                size: self.size
                pos: self.pos

These examples only scratch the surface. Please see the :mod:`kivy.graphics`
documentation for more information.

.. _widget-event-bubbling:

Widget touch event bubbling
---------------------------

When you catch touch events between multiple widgets, you often
need to be aware of the order in which these events are propagated. In Kivy,
events bubble up from the first child upwards through the other children.
If a widget has children, the event is passed through its children before
being passed on to the widget after it.

As the :meth:`~kivy.uix.widget.Widget.on_touch_up` method inserts widgets at
index 0 by default, this means the event goes from the most recently added
widget back to the first one added. Consider the following:

.. code-block:: python

    box = BoxLayout()
    box.add_widget(Label(text="a"))
    box.add_widget(Label(text="b"))
    box.add_widget(Label(text="c"))

The label with text "c" gets the event first, "b" second and "a" last. You can
reverse this order by manually specifying the index:

.. code-block:: python

    box = BoxLayout()
    box.add_widget(Label(text="a"), index=0)
    box.add_widget(Label(text="b"), index=1)
    box.add_widget(Label(text="c"), index=2)

Now the order would be "a", "b" then "c". One thing to keep in mind when using
kv is that declaring a widget uses the
:meth:`~kivy.uix.widget.Widget.add_widget` method for insertion. Hence, using

.. code-block:: kv

    BoxLayout:
        MyLabel:
            text: "a"
        MyLabel:
            text: "b"
        MyLabel:
            text: "c"

would result in the event order "c", "b" then "a" as "c" was actually the last
added widget. It thus has index 0, "b" index 1 and "a" index 2. Effectively,
the child order is the reverse of its listed order.

This ordering is the same for the :meth:`~kivy.uix.widget.Widget.on_touch_move`
and :meth:`~kivy.uix.widget.Widget.on_touch_up` events.

In order to stop this event bubbling, a method can return `True`. This tells
Kivy the event has been handled and the event propagation stops. For example:

.. code-block:: python

    class MyWidget(Widget):
        def on_touch_down(self, touch):
            If <some_condition>:
                # Do stuff here and kill the event
                return True
            else:
                return super(MyWidget, self).on_touch_down(touch)

This approach gives you good control over exactly how events are dispatched
and managed. Sometimes, however, you may wish to let the event be completely
propagated before taking action. You can use the
:class:`~kivy.clock.Clock` to help you here:

.. code-block:: python

    class MyWidget(Label):
        def on_touch_down(self, touch, after=False):
            if after:
                print "Fired after the event has been dispatched!"
            else:
                Clock.schedule_once(lambda dt: self.on_touch_down(touch, True))
                return super(MyWidget, self).on_touch_down(touch)

Usage of :attr:`Widget.center`, :attr:`Widget.right`, and :attr:`Widget.top`
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A common mistake when using one of the computed properties such as
:attr:`Widget.right` is to use it to make a widget follow its parent with a
KV rule such as `right: self.parent.right`. Consider, for example:

.. code-block:: kv

    FloatLayout:
        id: layout
        width: 100
        Widget:
            id: wid
            right: layout.right

The (mistaken) expectation is that this rule ensures that wid's right will
always be whatever layout's right is - that is wid.right and layout.right will
always be identical. In actual fact, this rule only says that "whenever
layout's `right` changes, wid's right will be set to that value". The
difference being that as long as `layout.right` doesn't change, `wid.right`
could be anything, even a value that will make them different.

Specifically, for the KV code above, consider the following example::

    >>> print(layout.right, wid.right)
    (100, 100)
    >>> wid.x = 200
    >>> print(layout.right, wid.right)
    (100, 300)

As can be seen, initially they are in sync, however, when we change `wid.x`
they go out of sync because `layout.right` is not changed and the rule is not
triggered.

The proper way to make the widget follow its parent's right is to use
:attr:`Widget.pos_hint`. If instead of `right: layout.right` we did
`pos_hint: {'right': 1}`, then the widgets right will always be set to be
at the parent's right at each layout update.

The size_hint is used by layouts for two purposes: - When the layout considers widgets on their own rather than in relation to its other children, the size_hint_x is a direct proportion of the parent width, normally between 0.0 and 1.0. For instance, a widget with ``size_hint_x=0.5`` in a vertical BoxLayout will take up half the BoxLayout's width, or a widget in a FloatLayout with ``size_hint_x=0.2`` will take up 20% of the FloatLayout width. If the size_hint is greater than 1, the widget will be wider than the parent. - When multiple widgets can share a row of a layout, such as in a horizontal BoxLayout, their widths will be their size_hint_x as a fraction of the sum of widget size_hints. For instance, if the size_hint_xs are (0.5, 1.0, 0.5), the first widget will have a width of 25% of the parent width. :attr:`size_hint_x` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.NumericProperty` and defaults to 1.
