August'24: Kamaelia is in maintenance mode and will recieve periodic updates, about twice a year,
primarily targeted around Python 3 and ecosystem compatibility.
PRs are always welcome. Latest Release: 1.14.32 (2024/3/24)
For examples and more explanations, see the module level docs.
WheelMover(...) -> A new WheelMover component.
A component to arrange several OpenGlComponents in the style of a big
wheel rotating around the X axis. Can be used to switch between
components.
Components can be added and removed during operation using the
"notify" inbox. Messages sent to it are expected to be a dictionary of
the following form:
{
"APPEND_CONTROL" :True,
"objectid": id(object),
"control": (object,"position")
}
for adding components and:
{
"REMOVE_CONTROL" :True,
"objectid": id(object),
}
for removing components.
If components are added when the wheel is already full (number of
slots exhausted) they are simply ignored.
The whole wheel can be controlles by sending messages to the "switch"
inbox. The commands can be either "NEXT" or "PREVIOUS".
Keyword arguments:
- steps -- number of steps the wheel is subdivided in
(default=400)
- center -- center of the wheel (default=(0,0,-13))
- radius -- radius of the wheel (default=5)
- slots -- number of components which can be handled (default=20)
Inboxes
- control : ignored
- switch : For reception of switching commands
- inbox : not used
- notify : For appending and removing components
Outboxes
- outbox : Outbox for sending position updates
Methods defined here
Warning!
You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods
(except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to
their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.
__init__(self[, steps][, center][,
radius][, slots])
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for
signature
main(self)
