Enable Custom Traits¶
Enable defines several trait types which can be used to simplify the generation of values to pass to various APIs throughout Enable (and Kiva).
bounds_trait¶
bounds_trait
represents the bounds of an object. It is a list of two
values: width and height.
ColorTrait¶
ColorTrait
represents an RGBA color. One can assign either tuples
containing RGBA colors (each component in the range [0, 1]) or a string in
the form of an HTML color name (“blue” or “#0000FF”).
font_trait¶
font_trait
is a synonym for
enable.trait_defs.kiva_font_trait.KivaFont
. The trait maps a
font-description string to a valid kiva.fonttools.Font
instance which can be passed to AbstractGraphicsContext.set_font()
LineStyle¶
LineStyle
represents the dash style of a line drawn with Kiva.
Allowed values are “solid”, “dot dash”, “dash”, “dot”, or “long dash”.
MarkerTrait¶
MarkerTrait
represents a marker which can be drawn by Kiva. Allowed
values are “square”, “circle”, “triangle”, “inverted_triangle”, “left_triangle”,
“right_triangle”, “pentagon”, “hexagon”, “hexagon2”, “plus”, “cross”, “star”,
“cross_plus”, “diamond”, “dot”, or “pixel”.
Pointer¶
Pointer
represents the style of a mouse pointer on screen. Allowed
values are “arrow”, “right arrow”, “blank”, “bullseye”, “char”, “cross”, “hand”,
“ibeam”, “left button”, “magnifier”, “middle button”, “no entry”, “paint brush”,
