OcempGUI - 0.2.1

OcempGUI is a small toolkit, which comes with various modules suitable for event management, user interfaces, 2D drawing and accessibility.

OcempGUI enables developers to enhance their python and/or pygame applications and games easily with graphical UI elements such as buttons, entry boxes, scrolling abilities and more as well as simple event brokers or features, which enhance the program by adding accessibility to its objects.

It can save a developer much time by providing a broad range of drawing routines and ready-to-use event capable object types. The developer can focus on the main tasks instead of taking care about needed low-level components, which are given to him with OcempGUI.

Features:

• New Magnifier class, a magnification tool for pygame screens.
• String.* functions now allow additional style flags to be passed.
• New method apply_font_styles() in String module to apply different rendering styles to a font.

• New method clear() in EventManager class, which removes all objects and signals from all event queues.
• New SIG_SCREENCHANGED signal, which indicates changes of the bound 'screen' attribute of the Renderer.

• Fixed depth assignment for widgets attached to the Bin or Container class.
• Fixed 'indexable' assignment for the 'controls' attribute of the BaseWidget class.
