pyplace (a place by percentage Python package)

Full definition:

Pyplace is a easy to use package to get the placement and dimensions of a child container base on the percentage given the size of a parent container and/or the relative origin of the child and parent containers.

In a few words definition:

A littler utility to stop remembering tons of numbers and start using percentages for containers size and placement.

Installation

Using the pip installer

  $ python -m pip install pyplace

Using the offline installer or source code

• a. Download the .whl file from one of our release and run:

  $ python -m pip install pyplace-file-name.whl

Been pyplace-file-name the name of the file downloaded.

• b. If you clone or download the .zip file and then extract it. the repo you just have to go to the repository path and run:

  $ python setup.py install

Usage

from pyplace.pbd import *

Is the main package module it contains two methods get_container() and get_child_container() witch will be described in more details down below:

get_container(parent_size: tuple, percentages: tuple, origin: tuple = None)

  """Gets a new parent container base on the size and percentages given.

  Args:
                  parent_size: The width and height size reference for the new parent container.
                  percentages: The width and height percentages to get the size for the new parent container.
      (optional)  origin: The x and y coordinates to place the new parent container.

  Raises:
      TypeError: If an argument variable was not send as a tuple.

  Returns:
      A Container class with the x, y, width and height values for the new parent container.
  """

get_child_container(parent_container: Container, size_percentages: tuple, place_percentages: tuple = (0,0))

  """Gets a new child container base on the parent container and size percentages given.

  Args:
                  parent_container: The x, y, width and height value of the parent container.
                  size_percentages: The width and height percentages to get the size for the new child container.
      (optional)  place_percentages: The x and y percentages to get the placement for the new child container.

  Raises:
      TypeError: If an argument variable was not send as a tuple.

  Returns:
      A Container class with the x, y, width and height values for the new child container.
  """

Example:

  # full screen window with a window container and four child containers.
  from pyplace.pbp import get_container, get_child_container

  # we assume the display resolution is 1280x720 for this example.
  import pyautogui
  # Returns: tuple(1280, 720)
  screen_width, screen_height = pyautogui.size()

  window = get_container(parent_size=(screen_with, screen_height), percentages=(1, 1))
  # Returns: tuple(0, 0, 1280, 720)
  window.get_dimensions()

  upper_left_box = get_child_container(parent_container=window, size_percentages=(0.5, 0.5))
  # Returns: tuple(0, 0, 640, 360)
  upper_left_box.get_dimensions()

  lower_left_box = get_child_container(parent_container=window, size_percentages=(0.5, 0.5), place_percentages=(0, 0.5))
  # Returns: tuple(0, 360, 640, 360)
  lower_left_box.get_dimensions()

  upper_right_box = get_child_container(parent_container=window, size_percentages=(0.5, 0.5), place_percentages=(0.5, 0))
  # Returns: tuple(640, 0, 640, 360)
  upper_right_box.get_dimensions()

  lower_right_box = get_child_container(parent_container=window, size_percentages=(0.5, 0.5), place_percentages=(0.5, 0.5))
  # Returns: tuple(640, 360, 640, 360)
  lower_right_box.get_dimensions()

This will create one parent (main target) and four children (relative to the main target) containers.

Container

when we call the get_container or get_child_container we get a Container instance that we can use for getting a tuple of single variables holding the size and placement information for the container we created.

here are the attributes and method we get on this class:

  # attribute list.
  __x       # the container x position.
  __y       # the container x position.
  __width   # the container width size.
  __height  # the container height size.

  # method list.
  get_x()                             # returns the x value for the container.
  x(x: int)                       # sets the x value for the container.

  get_y()                             # returns the y value for the container.
  y(y: int)                       # sets the y value for the container.

  get_placement()                     # returns a tuple with the x and y of the container.
  placement(x: int, y: int)       # sets the x and y of the container.

  get_width()                         # returns the width value for the container.
  width(width: int)               # sets the width value for the container.

  get_height()                        # returns the height value for the container.
  height(height: int)             # sets the height value for the container.

  get_size()                          # returns a tuple with the width and height of the container.
  size(width: int, height: int)   # sets the width and height of the container.

  get_dimensions()                    # returns a tuple with the x, y, width and height of the container.
  dimensions(x: int, y: int, width: int, height: int)  # sets the x, y, width and height of the container.
