Button Behavior
===============

The :class:`~kivy.uix.behaviors.button.ButtonBehavior`
`mixin <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixin>`_ class provides
:class:`~kivy.uix.button.Button` behavior. You can combine this class with
other widgets, such as an :class:`~kivy.uix.image.Image`, to provide
alternative buttons that preserve Kivy button behavior.

For an overview of behaviors, please refer to the :mod:`~kivy.uix.behaviors`
documentation.

Example
-------

The following example adds button behavior to an image to make a checkbox that
behaves like a button::

    from kivy.app import App
    from kivy.uix.image import Image
    from kivy.uix.behaviors import ButtonBehavior


    class MyButton(ButtonBehavior, Image):
        def __init__(self, **kwargs):
            super(MyButton, self).__init__(**kwargs)
            self.source = 'atlas://data/images/defaulttheme/checkbox_off'

        def on_press(self):
            self.source = 'atlas://data/images/defaulttheme/checkbox_on'

        def on_release(self):
            self.source = 'atlas://data/images/defaulttheme/checkbox_off'


    class SampleApp(App):
        def build(self):
            return MyButton()


    SampleApp().run()

See :class:`~kivy.uix.behaviors.ButtonBehavior` for details.
