5: Creating a User Interface for Your Plug-in
User interface elements
88
The following figures show examples of the various control and container types. The appearance is
appropriate to the platform; these examples show some of each.
slider
A draggable “bug” that changes an
associated numeric value.
value
: The current numeric value.
min
: The low end of the range.
max
: The high end of the range.
integral
: True to change only by
integer increments. Default is false.
static_text
Text that typically does not respond to user
input, such as a label or instructions.
Although the user cannot change the text,
it can still be made dynamic by binding the
title
to a data value; see
“Binding UI
values to data values” on page 94
.
title
: Display label.
truncation
: Where to truncate the
text if needed,
"head"
,
"middle"
, or
"tail"
.
selectable
: True to make text
selectable (in Mac OS only).
alignment
: Text alignment,
"left"
,
"center"
, or
"right"
.
text_color
: An
LrColor
object.
Default is black.
mouse_down
: A function called in
response to this event; takes one
argument, the view object that was
clicked.
All text properties. See
“Text view
properties” on page 94
.
separator
Draws a line across its container, but has no
other behavior. The line is always 2 pixels in
width, and is drawn either vertically or
horizontally, depending on the fill value. If
both values are set, the larger value
determines the direction of the line.
fill_horizontal
: The width of the
horizontal line, a percentage of the
parent's width in the range [0..1].
fill_vertical
: The height of the
vertical line, a percentage of the
parent's height in the range [0..1].
