SFSymbols?

[mikael]

Anyone with the latest beta, can you use the new symbol set that comes with iOS 13, e.g.:

i = ui.Image('lessthan.circle')

@pulbrich, others, any suggestions for a fuzzy search? fuzzywuzzy is good, but I would like to avoid requiring an extra install. difflib.get_close_matches results are highly unintuitive.

Is there something easy to use provided by iOS?

@mikael you could try FuzzyFinder in 10 lines of Python

Cheers,

I would go with @TPO ‘s idea, perfectly enough for the purpose.

@pulbrich, @TPO, thanks. Search now included, see the updated picture above.

Usability is not 100% - for some reason textfield.end_editing() does not hide the keyboard, at least on my phone.

@mikael Many, many thanks! Perfect now!

Same on my iPad mini 4 (iOS 13 + Pythonista beta)
There is a kind of flicking, I think that the keyboard is dismissed and then comes back.

FWIW:

from ui import *
from objc_util import *
uiimage=ObjCClass('UIImage')
v=Image.named('test:Lenna')
u=uiimage.systemImageNamed_('lessthan.circle')
v.objc_instance._setImageAsset_(u.imageAsset())

Leading underscore did the trick, iPadOS 13.1.3.
Maybe not the most future proof, but does the job...

@JonB As usual, you're the 🤴

@JonB, thanks. Intuitively this seems like it should be faster and more efficient than going via the PNG conversion.

But when I went to test the performance I ran into a couple of issues with the asset approach:

• Resulting image size is dependent on the size of the original ui.Image created.
• Both the original and ”asset-applied” images are retained in the ui.Image somehow, and for example ButtonItems do not really handle that well.

See below couple of example images. First one uses a too-large initializing picture (Lenna), the second too small one (triangle arrow icon), which you can see presented in the title area.
