Pure Python gestures

[mikael]

@Anxietier, please see below for something you can adjust to your needs.

I recommend and use scripter, because it makes the animations easy and includes the ease functions.

import ui
import scripter

v = ui.View(background_color='black')

class Pulled(ui.View):
    
    straight_pull = 100
    slowing_pull = 100
    
    def touch_began(self, t):
        self.start_y = ui.convert_point(t.location, from_view=self).y
        
    def touch_moved(self, t):
        delta_y = (
            ui.convert_point(t.location, from_view=self).y - 
            ui.convert_point(t.prev_location, from_view=self).y)
        if self.y < self.straight_pull:
            self.y += delta_y
            return
        if self.y < (self.straight_pull + self.slowing_pull):
            diff = self.y-self.straight_pull
            diff_fraction = diff/self.slowing_pull
            effective = 1 - min(1, diff_fraction) ** 2
            self.y += delta_y * effective
        
    def touch_ended(self, t):
        scripter.y(self, 0, ease_func=scripter.ease_out)

v.add_subview(Pulled(
    frame=v.bounds,
    flex='WH',
    background_color='green'))

v.present('fullscreen')

@mikael
thank you, when i ran ur code, it post me an error:
scripter.y(self, 0, ease_func=scripter.ease_out)
module 'scripter' has no attribute 'y'

then i check scripter.py, i only found the vector_class has a method called y(...)
im confused~

[Anxietier]

@Anxietier @mikael
oh, never mind, i restarted app, now its wording fine :D

[mikael]

@Anxietier, and a version with a revealed label and a refresh trigger:

import ui
import scripter

v = ui.View(background_color='black')

class Pulled(ui.View):
    
    straight_pull = 30
    slowing_pull = 80
    
    def touch_began(self, t):
        self.start_y = ui.convert_point(t.location, from_view=self).y
        
    def touch_moved(self, t):
        delta_y = (
            ui.convert_point(t.location, from_view=self).y - 
            ui.convert_point(t.prev_location, from_view=self).y)
        if self.y < self.straight_pull:
            self.y += delta_y
            return
        if self.y < (self.straight_pull + self.slowing_pull):
            diff = self.y-self.straight_pull
            diff_fraction = diff/self.slowing_pull
            try:
                self.reveal_func(diff_fraction)
            except AttributeError: pass
            effective = 1 - min(1, diff_fraction) ** 2
            self.y += delta_y * effective
            
        
    def touch_ended(self, t):
        scripter.y(self, 0, ease_func=scripter.ease_out)
        try:
            self.reveal_func(0)
        except AttributeError: pass
        if self.y > self.straight_pull:
            self.trigger_func()

label = ui.Label(text='Release to refresh',
    text_color='white',
    flex='LBR',
    alpha=0,
)
label.size_to_fit()
label.center = v.bounds.center()
label.y = 8
v.add_subview(label)

def reveal(fraction):
    label.alpha = fraction
    
def trigger():
    scripter.hide(label)
    print('refresh')

v.add_subview(Pulled(
    reveal_func=reveal,
    trigger_func=trigger,
    frame=v.bounds,
    flex='WH',
    background_color='green'))

v.present('fullscreen')

[mikael]

@Anxietier, oh, you can throw away the touch_began method, it’s from an earlier version.

[Anxietier]

@mikael thank you
and if i want to bind it with gestures, what should i do
i mean is there any conflict between gestures and touch
what i want to make is, i can use twin fingers to zoom and move picture(imageview or subclass zoompanview, later is better i guess), and when i move picture, move space and scale would be limited, as i leave my fingers, picture's edge should be forced move to superview's edge

[Anxietier]

@mikael ah, dont bother
i didnt read doc carefully(perhaps wrong word :P), now i can bind them together, thanks for ur help, ur codes are really amazing and helpful :D

[mikael]

@Anxietier, little optimization of the ”feel” and code simplification.

import ui
import scripter

v = ui.View(background_color='black')

class Pulled(ui.View):
    
    trigger_distance = 30
    pull_distance = 80
    
    def touch_moved(self, t):
        delta_y = (
            ui.convert_point(t.location, from_view=self).y - 
            ui.convert_point(t.prev_location, from_view=self).y)
        diff_fraction = self.y/self.pull_distance
        try:
            self.reveal_func(diff_fraction)
        except AttributeError: pass
        self.y += delta_y * (1 - min(0.9, diff_fraction) ** 2)
        self.y = max(0, self.y)
        
    def touch_ended(self, t):
        scripter.y(self, 0, ease_func=scripter.ease_out)
        try:
            self.reveal_func(0)
        except AttributeError: pass
        if self.y > self.trigger_distance:
            self.trigger_func()

label = ui.Label(text='Release to refresh',
    text_color='white',
    flex='LBR',
    alpha=0,
)
label.size_to_fit()
label.center = v.bounds.center()
label.y = 8
v.add_subview(label)

def reveal(fraction):
    label.alpha = fraction
    
def trigger():
    scripter.hide(label)
    print('refresh')

v.add_subview(Pulled(
    reveal_func=reveal,
    trigger_func=trigger,
    frame=v.bounds,
    flex='WH',
    background_color='green'))

v.present('fullscreen')

@mikael
thanks for help, i make it
but there's another problem showed up:
i make a main view, then i subclass zoomPanView and add to mainView , after that i add imageView as zoomPanView's subVIew, like what zoomPanDemo did, when i overwrite on_pan method and test it, data.began and data.changed can give me right value, but data.ended not, i dont know why

[Anxietier]

@stephen thanks for help!
im would try to understand ur code, im not good in math though :(
btw, i tried mikael's code, and it works fine to me :P

one more thing, i overwrote on_pinch too, and i printed data.ended, and got right value, maybe two gesture's ended flag conflict ?

[mikael]

@Anxietier, thanks for catching this. Pan end event was not properly handled, fixed now in the version on the repo.

i resolved this issue
i subclass both view and GestureMixin as new ZoomPanView, then i overwrite touch_ended, so that when i subclass new ZoomPanView i can edit touch_ended,
high encapsulation not always convenient XD

expecting for new version (👍 ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)👍

[mikael]

@Anxietier, is there a specific reason why you are using the Python version instead of the native iOS gestures? Just curious, because I no longer remember why I wrote pygestures. 😁 ... Probably just because I wanted to see if I could do it.

[Anxietier]

@mikael
well, im not good at math, i tried use touch_began\move\ended, and surely i can make simple function, but as it became complex, my brain be in chaos, XD

[mikael]

@Anxietier, I meant choosing between gestures.py (wrapper around iOS native gestures) and pygestures.py (pure Python gestures built on top of the ui.View.touch_x method ”primitives”.

Your answer leads me to guess you might not have been aware of the first option.

[Anxietier]

@mikael oh, i did try gesture.py, got some problems, and you suggested me subclass ZoomPanView instead for my need, then i did and i find it's interesting, so ~~ :))

@mikael said:

@Anxietier, can you subclass ZoomPanView instead?

If you run pygestures.py and swipe from the right, you get the demo picture that you can pan and zoom, and that seems to work ok.

The code for it is at the end of the file.

[mikael]

@Anxietier, oh, and I thought you were already using the python version, given the title of this discussion thread... 😄
