mojo.ezuiViews

An overview of all the custom RoboFont views available in ezui.

RoboFont extends ezui by adding some custom views like GlyphPreview, GlyphSequence, CodeEditor, GlyphLineView. To use any of these views, you need to type an asterisk followed by the object name and then provide an identifier prefixed by @ for callbacks, something like:

"""
* GlyphPreview @preview
"""

You can pass the arguments for the object initiation into the descriptionData dictionary. Check the following examples for some references.

GlyphPreview

GlyphPreview

Please, open a font and select a glyph before running this example.

import ezui

class Controller(ezui.WindowController):

    def build(self):
        content = """
        * GlyphPreview @preview
        """
        descriptionData = dict(
            preview=dict(
                height=300,
                width=300,
                glyph=CurrentGlyph()
                )
            )

        font = CurrentFont()
        self.w = ezui.EZWindow(
            title=f"{font.info.familyName} {font.info.styleName}",
            content=content,
            descriptionData=descriptionData,
            size="auto",
            controller=self
        )
    
    def started(self):
        self.w.open()
