Introduction

This is an example which creates a light, non-comprehensive framework for PyCEGUI, with the rendering system used being [Py]OpenGL. The reason OpenGL is used is because it's free, easy to get on any Ubuntu system (which this was written on), and portable. Also, it's the one demonstrated on the official PyCEGUI page.

Links of interest

Requirements

General

  • Python 2.6
  • PyCEGUI
  • PyOpenGL, GLU, GLUT

Datafiles

This example assumes the CEGUI datafiles are in the same directory as `demo.py`; see the following section.

Directory hierarchy

  • /home/foo/bar/demo
    • demo.py
    • datafiles/
      • datafiles/layouts/demomenu.layout
    • config/
      • constants.py
    • error/
      • errors.py
    • input/
      • input.py
    • video/
      • video.py
    • gui/
      • gui.py
      • demomenu.py

General notes

This is not intended to be fully comprehensive; rather, the intention is to illustrate one way of setting up a GUI system. A minimal amount of thought was given to "problems down the road;" which is to say that there is no guarantee that a particular design constraint will not render the framework unsuitable for a particular purpose.

In short: your mileage may vary.

Comments, improvements, etc

Modifications

demomenu.py

To further demonstrate usage of how to manipulate the widgets and branch the script/code divide, consider the following modification to the `demomenu.DemoMenu.buttonClicked` method: 

def buttonClicked(self, args):
    editbox = self.menu.getChild('DemoMenu/Edit')
    print(editbox.getText())
    return

Now, when the button is clicked, it will print to the console whatever has been typed in the box.

As an exercise to the reader, consider adding support for Backspace/Delete/Arrow keys (hint: Special) keys.
