Circle Object
PUBLISHED
This feature is supported in wearable applications only.
The circle object component extends Elementary components in a form of the circular design. Sometimes, the circle object merely provides additional UI features to an Elementary component, and sometimes it works as an independent component with its own UI and functionalities.
For more information, see the Efl Extension Circle Object API.
Adding a Circle Object Component
To create a circle object component, use the eext_circle_object_add()
function:
Evas_Object *circle_obj; circle_obj = eext_circle_object_add(parent, surface);
When creating a circle object, you can select whether the circle object is rendered by itself or by the circle surface:
- If the circle surface is passed as the second parameter, a circle object connected with a circle surface is created, and it is rendered by the circle surface.
- If
NULL
is passed as the second parameter, the new circle object is managed and rendered by itself.
To create a circle object without a circle surface, and show it in a size of 360 x 360:
Evas_Object *circle_obj; circle_obj = eext_circle_object_add(parent, NULL); evas_object_size_hint_min_set(circle_obj, 360, 360); evas_object_show(circle_obj);
Setting the Value and Value Limits
To set the value details of the circle object:
- Set the maximum and minimum value:
-
To set the minimum and maximum values of the circle object, use the
eext_circle_object_value_min_max_set()
function.In the following example, a circle object with a surface is created and its minimum and maximum values are set to 0.0 and 10.0 degrees:
Evas_Object *circle_obj; circle_obj = eext_circle_object_add(parent, surface); eext_circle_object_value_min_max_set(circle_obj, 0.0, 10.0);
To get the current minimum and maximum values of the circle object, use the
eext_circle_object_value_min_max_get()
function. -
To set the value of a certain item in a circle object, use the
eext_circle_object_item_angle_min_max_set()
function.If the name of the item is passed as
default
, the function works the same way as theeext_circle_object_value_min_max_set()
function. Similar to the above example, the following example creates a circle object with the minimum and maximum values of 0.0 and 10.0 degrees:Evas_Object *circle_obj; circle_obj = eext_circle_object_add(parent, surface); eext_circle_object_item_value_min_max_set(circle_obj, "default", 0.0, 10.0);
To get the current minimum and maximum values of the item, use the
eext_circle_object_item_value_min_max_get()
function.
-
- Set the value:
NoteThe value cannot be lower than the minimum value or higher than the maximum value.-
