Pythonista 3 Rect attributes

chriswilson

Are the attributes of the scene.Rect class not x, y, width and height (without parentheses as they are attributes, not methods)?

@chriswilson , I am sure you are right. I was going to reply to this one, but I thought maybe he was using a module that I don't use. I don't use scene, but ui.Rect() is the same. Only properties and no left, top methods or properties etc. x, y notation.
print(dir(ui.Rect()) or print dir(scene.Rect()) is the same.

@Phuket2
Yeah I wondered if it might be a different module. Im only really familiar with scene.Rect()!

import scene, ui
print(scene.Rect() == ui.Rect())  # True
print(scene.Rect == ui.Rect)      # True
print(scene.Rect is ui.Rect)      # True

Where these methods removed? Is there any reason this was done?

@amdescombes
I'm not sure actually. I didn't know those attributes had been available.

I was going through the docs and I see that a Rect object has the following attributes :

min_x # I guess I could use it instead of left()
max_x # I guess I could use it instead of right()
min_y # I guess I could use it instead of bottom()
max_y # I guess I could use it instead of top()

@amdescombes , they are basically just short cuts. Very handy ones. Like max_y will be the rects.y + height. If you are doing things in a ui.ScrollView for example, the short cuts importance becomes very apparent. The .Rect also has an origin property, that could also factor into things.

Hi @chriswilson, I was trying to run some of the examples on github but I couldn't because I kept getting errors saying those attributes did not exist, that's what prompted my question, LOL

@amdescombes You might want to "open an issue" on the GitHUb repos that do not work and then watch how the owners fix their problems.
