MouseEvent interfaces abstract

This page explains the MouseEvent interfaces abstract.

What apysc can do in its interfaces

  • You can set the MouseEvent handlers, such as the click, mouse down, mouse over, and so on, to each graphic instance.

  • You can pass the optional arguments to the handler.

Example of the click event

To bind MouseEvent, defining the handler function (or method) would be necessary (e.g., on_click).

These handlers can bind with the click interface.

import apysc as ap


def on_click(e: ap.MouseEvent[ap.Rectangle], options: dict) -> None:
    """
    The handler that the rectangle calls when clicked.

    Parameters
    ----------
    e : ap.MouseEvent
        Event instance.
    options : dict
        Optional arguments dictionary.
    """
    rectangle: ap.Rectangle = e.this
    with ap.If(rectangle.fill_color == ap.Color("#00aaff")):
        rectangle.fill_color = ap.Color("#f0a")
        ap.Return()

    with ap.If(rectangle.fill_color == ap.Color("#ff00aa")):
        rectangle.fill_color = ap.Color("#0af")
        ap.Return()


ap.Stage(
    background_color=ap.Color("#333"),
    stage_width=150,
    stage_height=150,
    stage_elem_id="stage",
)
sprite: ap.Sprite = ap.Sprite()
sprite.graphics.begin_fill(color=ap.Color("#0af"))
rectangle: ap.Rectangle = sprite.graphics.draw_rect(x=50, y=50, width=50, height=50)
rectangle.click(on_click)

ap.save_overall_html(dest_dir_path="mouse_event_abstract_click/")
