Swing Components in Default Processing Window_py5

py5
17

Thanks for the code on SwingUtilities; it’s a lot easier than I ever thought it would be, but that’s the ‘Python way’. Your code runs ok in Thonny. What’s up with using underscores in the actionEvents? I have seen myBtnAction(event) used, but not an underscore. The following demo is a modification of my original post to use an EventDispatchThread; I prefer to use ‘Import mode for py5’ to avoid having to use prefixes. It’s more like regular Processing code that way.

# Uses Imported mode for py5

from javax.swing import *
from java.awt import *

_wndW = 600
_wndH = 660

myColor = Color.GREEN
slider = JSlider()

def myBtnAction(event):
    global myColor
    panel = JPanel()
    myColor = JColorChooser.showDialog(panel,"Choose color",Color.GREEN)

def buildWnd():
    global slider
    slider = JSlider(JSlider.HORIZONTAL, 0, 500, 100)
    slider.setBounds(180, 20, 200, 24)
    slider.setToolTipText("size");
    frame.add(slider)
    slider.repaint()
    
    btn = JButton("Color")
    btn.setBounds(400,20,80,24)
    frame.add(btn)
    btn.repaint()
    btn.addActionListener(myBtnAction)
    
def setup():
    global frame
    size(_wndW, _wndH)
    wnd = get_surface()    
    canvas = wnd.get_native()
    frame = canvas.getFrame()
    wnd.set_title('Default Processing Window')
    canvas.setBounds(0,60,_wndW,_wndH - 60)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(buildWnd)

def draw():
    background(209)
    fill(myColor.getRed(), myColor.getGreen(), myColor.getBlue())
    circle(300,300,slider.getValue())
