[docs]class GestureSurface(FloatLayout): '''Simple gesture surface to track/draw touch movements. Typically used to gather user input suitable for :class:`kivy.multistroke.Recognizer`. :Properties: `temporal_window` Time to wait from the last touch_up event before attempting to recognize the gesture. If you set this to 0, the `on_gesture_complete` event is not fired unless the :attr:`max_strokes` condition is met. :attr:`temporal_window` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.NumericProperty` and defaults to 2.0 `max_strokes` Max number of strokes in a single gesture; if this is reached, recognition will start immediately on the final touch_up event. If this is set to 0, the `on_gesture_complete` event is not fired unless the :attr:`temporal_window` expires. :attr:`max_strokes` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.NumericProperty` and defaults to 2.0 `bbox_margin` Bounding box margin for detecting gesture collisions, in pixels. :attr:`bbox_margin` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.NumericProperty` and defaults to 30 `draw_timeout` Number of seconds to keep lines/bbox on canvas after the `on_gesture_complete` event is fired. If this is set to 0, gestures are immediately removed from the surface when complete. :attr:`draw_timeout` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.NumericProperty` and defaults to 3.0 `color` Color used to draw the gesture, in RGB. This option does not have an effect if :attr:`use_random_color` is True. :attr:`color` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.ColorProperty` and defaults to [1, 1, 1, 1] (white) .. versionchanged:: 2.0.0 Changed from :class:`~kivy.properties.ListProperty` to :class:`~kivy.properties.ColorProperty`. `use_random_color` Set to True to pick a random color for each gesture, if you do this then `color` is ignored. Defaults to False. :attr:`use_random_color` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.BooleanProperty` and defaults to False `line_width` Line width used for tracing touches on the surface. Set to 0 if you only want to detect gestures without drawing anything. If you use 1.0, OpenGL GL_LINE is used for drawing; values > 1 will use an internal drawing method based on triangles (less efficient), see :mod:`kivy.graphics`. :attr:`line_width` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.NumericProperty` and defaults to 2 `draw_bbox` Set to True if you want to draw bounding box behind gestures. This only works if `line_width` >= 1. Default is False. :attr:`draw_bbox` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.BooleanProperty` and defaults to True `bbox_alpha` Opacity for bounding box if `draw_bbox` is True. Default 0.1 :attr:`bbox_alpha` is a :class:`~kivy.properties.NumericProperty` and defaults to 0.1 :Events: `on_gesture_start` :class:`GestureContainer` Fired when a new gesture is initiated on the surface, i.e. the first on_touch_down that does not collide with an existing gesture on the surface. `on_gesture_extend` :class:`GestureContainer` Fired when a touch_down event occurs within an existing gesture. `on_gesture_merge` :class:`GestureContainer`, :class:`GestureContainer` Fired when two gestures collide and get merged to one gesture. The first argument is the gesture that has been merged (no longer valid); the second is the combined (resulting) gesture. `on_gesture_complete` :class:`GestureContainer` Fired when a set of strokes is considered a complete gesture, this happens when `temporal_window` expires or `max_strokes` is reached. Typically you will bind to this event and use the provided `GestureContainer` get_vectors() method to match against your gesture database. `on_gesture_cleanup` :class:`GestureContainer` Fired `draw_timeout` seconds after `on_gesture_complete`, The gesture will be removed from the canvas (if line_width > 0 or draw_bbox is True) and the internal gesture list before this. `on_gesture_discard` :class:`GestureContainer` Fired when a gesture does not meet the minimum size requirements for recognition (width/height < 5, or consists only of single- point strokes).
