#
# TODO List/Caveats
#
# 1. Using The New Versions Of wxPython (2.6.2.1pre.20060106 Or Higher) There
#    Is A New Method Called wx.GetMouseState() That Gets Rid Of The Import Of
#    win32all or ctypes. Moreover, It Should Make PyAUI Working On All

"""
PyAUI is an Advanced User Interface library that aims to implement "cutting-edge"
interface usability and design features so developers can quickly and easily create
beautiful and usable application interfaces.

Vision and Design Principles

PyAUI attempts to encapsulate the following aspects of the user interface:

* Frame Management: Frame management provides the means to open, move and hide common
controls that are needed to interact with the document, and allow these configurations
to be saved into different perspectives and loaded at a later time.

* Toolbars: Toolbars are a specialized subset of the frame management system and should
behave similarly to other docked components. However, they also require additional
functionality, such as "spring-loaded" rebar support, "chevron" buttons and end-user
customizability.

* Modeless Controls: Modeless controls expose a tool palette or set of options that
float above the application content while allowing it to be accessed. Usually accessed
by the toolbar, these controls disappear when an option is selected, but may also be
"torn off" the toolbar into a floating frame of their own.

* Look and Feel: Look and feel encompasses the way controls are drawn, both when shown
statically as well as when they are being moved. This aspect of user interface design
incorporates "special effects" such as transparent window dragging as well as frame animation.

PyAUI adheres to the following principles:

- Use native floating frames to obtain a native look and feel for all platforms;
- Use existing wxPython code where possible, such as sizer implementation for frame management;
- Use standard wxPython coding conventions.


Usage:

The following example shows a simple implementation that utilizes AuiManager to manage
three text controls in a frame window:

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, id=-1, title="PyAUI Test", pos=wx.DefaultPosition,
                 size=(800, 600), style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE):

        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, pos, size, style)

        self._mgr = PyAUI.AuiManager()

        # notify PyAUI which frame to use
        self._mgr.SetFrame(self)

        # create several text controls
        text1 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "Pane 1 - sample text",
                            wx.DefaultPosition, wx.Size(200,150),
                            wx.NO_BORDER | wx.TE_MULTILINE)

        text2 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "Pane 2 - sample text",
                            wx.DefaultPosition, wx.Size(200,150),
                            wx.NO_BORDER | wx.TE_MULTILINE)

        text3 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, "Main content window",
                            wx.DefaultPosition, wx.Size(200,150),
                            wx.NO_BORDER | wx.TE_MULTILINE)

        # add the panes to the manager
        self._mgr.AddPane(text1, wx.LEFT, "Pane Number One")
        self._mgr.AddPane(text2, wx.BOTTOM, "Pane Number Two")
        self._mgr.AddPane(text3, wx.CENTER)

        # tell the manager to "commit" all the changes just made
        self._mgr.Update()

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.OnClose)


    def OnClose(self, event):

        # deinitialize the frame manager
        self._mgr.UnInit()

        self.Destroy()
        event.Skip()


# our normal wxApp-derived class, as usual

app = wx.PySimpleApp()

frame = MyFrame(None)
app.SetTopWindow(frame)
frame.Show()

app.MainLoop()

What's New:

PyAUI version 0.9.2 Adds:

* Fixes For Display Glitches;
* Fixes For Other Bugs Found In Previous Versions.

# -- AuiManager class implementation --
#
# AuiManager manages the panes associated with it for a particular wx.Frame,
# using a pane's AuiPaneInfo information to determine each pane's docking and
# floating behavior. AuiManager uses wxPython's sizer mechanism to plan the
# layout of each frame. It uses a replaceable dock art class to do all drawing,
# so all drawing is localized in one area, and may be customized depending on an
# applications' specific needs.
#
# AuiManager works as follows: The programmer adds panes to the class, or makes
# changes to existing pane properties (dock position, floating state, show state, etc.).
# To apply these changes, AuiManager's Update() function is called. This batch
# processing can be used to avoid flicker, by modifying more than one pane at a time,
# and then "committing" all of the changes at once by calling Update().
#
# Panes can be added quite easily:
#
#   text1 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1)
#   text2 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1)
#   self._mgr.AddPane(text1, wx.LEFT, "Pane Caption")
#   self._mgr.AddPane(text2, wx.BOTTOM, "Pane Caption")
#   self._mgr.Update()
#
# Later on, the positions can be modified easily. The following will float an
# existing pane in a tool window:

#   self._mgr.GetPane(text1).Float()

# Layers, Rows and Directions, Positions
# Inside PyAUI, the docking layout is figured out by checking several pane parameters.
# Four of these are important for determining where a pane will end up.
#
# Direction - Each docked pane has a direction, Top, Bottom, Left, Right, or Center.
# This is fairly self-explanatory. The pane will be placed in the location specified
# by this variable.
#
# Position - More than one pane can be placed inside of a "dock." Imagine to panes
# being docked on the left side of a window. One pane can be placed over another.
# In proportionally managed docks, the pane position indicates it's sequential position,
# starting with zero. So, in our scenario with two panes docked on the left side, the
# top pane in the dock would have position 0, and the second one would occupy position 1.
#
# Row - A row can allow for two docks to be placed next to each other. One of the most
# common places for this to happen is in the toolbar. Multiple toolbar rows are allowed,
# the first row being in row 0, and the second in row 1. Rows can also be used on
# vertically docked panes.
#
# Layer - A layer is akin to an onion. Layer 0 is the very center of the managed pane.
# Thus, if a pane is in layer 0, it will be closest to the center window (also sometimes
# known as the "content window"). Increasing layers "swallow up" all layers of a lower
# value. This can look very similar to multiple rows, but is different because all panes
# in a lower level yield to panes in higher levels. The best way to understand layers
# is by running the PyAUI sample (PyAUIDemo.py).
