Displaying multiple gui items in one line

[Enlil]

Hello,

I am trying to create a set of sliders with a check box to indicate if the slider is being used. So, I want a check box followed by a slider on the same line. The intention is to have a list of these, and use the check box to indicate if the slider is in use. Is this feasible, and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks,
Christian

Here is a simple script that shows how to create a groups of sliders with checkboxes. Hope this helps:

import viz
viz.go()

def addSliderCheckbox():
	"""Create group node containing slider and checkbox"""
	group = viz.addGroup(parent=viz.SCREEN)
	group.slider = viz.addSlider(parent=group)
	group.checkbox = viz.addCheckbox(parent=group,pos=(0.15,0,0))
	return group

g1 = addSliderCheckbox()
g1.setPosition(0.2,0.5,0)
g1.checkbox.set(True)

g2 = addSliderCheckbox()
g2.setPosition(0.2,0.4,0)
g2.slider.set(0.5)

Thanks, that is pretty close to perfect! I don't suppose there is a good way to organize these into a box, like vizinfo allows you to do with some elements?

Thanks,

You can use the undocumented vizdlg module to add the items within a panel. Here is a modified version of the script that uses the module:

import viz
import vizdlg
viz.go()

panel = vizdlg.Panel(layout=vizdlg.LAYOUT_VERT_LEFT,fontSize=25)
panel.setPosition(10,500,0)

def addSliderCheckbox():
	"""Create new row in panel containing slider and checkbox"""
	row = vizdlg.Panel(layout=vizdlg.LAYOUT_HORZ_CENTER,background=False,border=False)
	slider = row.addItem(viz.addSlider())
	checkbox = row.addItem(viz.addCheckbox())
	panel.addItem(row)
	return slider,checkbox

slider1,check1 = addSliderCheckbox()
check1.set(True)

slider2,check2 = addSliderCheckbox()
slider2.set(0.5)

Thanks, that is great!
