Histogram with color-indication markers

MarkedHistogram shows a histogram of a data set and an optional label for the numeric range of the data set. Color markers can be placed on the histogram by the user and moved interactively, either with the mouse or by typing in a particular data value. A color well is used to control the color of the "current" marker (the one most recently selected with the mouse). Markers can either be vertical bars or squares. Vertical bars can only be moved left/right whereas squares can also be moved up/down. Squares are also connected from left to right by line segments.

A row of associated widgets (such as the marker color well) is placed below the histogram. User-specified widgets can also be placed in this row.

Individual markers are grouped into HistogramMarkers instances, and several HistogramMarkers instances can be associated with a single histogram, though only one instance is active/shown at a time.

MarkedHistogram has the following options: [Options noted as init options can only be specified at widget creation. Others can be changed later with the config() method.]

colorwell
controls whether a color well is offered in the user interface for changing marker colors. default: True
datasource
either a string or a 3-tuple. If a string, then no histogram is displayed and instead the string is displayed in the histogram area as a text message. The first 2 components of a 3-tuple should be the minimum and maximum values of the histogram, The third component should either be an array of numbers (i.e. the histogram) or a callback function that takes as its single argument the number of bins to histogram into and that returns a histogram array. default: no data
labelmargin
[init option] if a label is associated with the widget (i.e. labelpos is not None) then this is the distance between the label component and the rest of the megawidget. default: 0
labelpos
[init option] where the megawidget label should be placed. Some combination of nsew. Use the label_text option to specify the label text. default: None
layout
[init option] how to organize the megawidget layout. Choices are single, top, and below. single should be used when you are using a single histogram in your GUI, or histograms that aren't arrayed vertically. top and below should be used for histograms that are laid out in a vertical array (top for the top-most one, and below for all others). Certain repeated elements will be omitted in below histograms (e.g. some widget labels). default: single

maxlabel/minlabel [init options] show the max/min histogram values as labels below the histogram on the right/left. If neither is True, then the range will be shown in a single label widget below the histogram. default: False

redrawdelay
amount of time (in seconds) to delay between needing to redraw and actually starting to redraw. Used to avoid multiple (possibly slow) redraws during a resize. default: 0.25
scaling
how to scale the vertical height of the histogram. Either logarithmic or linear. default: logarithmic
selectcallback
[init option] function to call when the "current" marker changes. The function receives 4 argments: previous active marker set/marker, new active marker set/marker. The marker set can be None to indicate no active marker set and the marker can be None if no marker was/is current.
showmarkerhelp
[init option] whether to show the help text over the histogram describing how to add/delete markers. default: True
statusline
function to use to output messages (such as warning when trying to add more markers than allowed). The function should take a single string argument. default: None
valuelabel
[init option] label to use next to the entry widget describing the current marker value. default: Value
valuewidth
width of the current marker value entry widget. default: 6
widgetreserve
[init option] number of columns to reserve for user widgets on the left side of the below- histogram row of widgets. default: 0

The dynamic group Markers can be used to specify default values for options for use during HistogramMarkers construction (e.g. Markers_connectcolor = red). Options for specific instances can be provided to the addmarkers() method as keyword arguments (without the Markers_ prefix).

A MarkedHistogram instance has the following components:
canvas
the canvas used to draw the histgram/markers
markerhelp
only created if showmarkerhelp is True and layout is not below. The label above the histogram displaying the help text describing how to add/delete markers.
minlabel/maxlabel
labels used if minlabel/maxlabel are True
nodatalabel
the label used when the datasource option is a string
widgetframe
the frame used to contain the below-histogram widgets. If widgetreserve is not zero, you can grid your own widgets into the left of this frame used the reserved columns. You can always grid into the right of this frame by using the frame's grid_size method to find the last used column.

Widgets are always gridded into row 1. If layout is single, labels should also be gridded into row 1. If layout is top, labels should be gridded into row 0. If layout is below, labels should be omitted.

Base Classes   

MarkedHistogram
  Pmw.MegaWidget

Methods   
  activate 
activate ( self,  markers )

Make the given set of markers the currently active set

Any previously-active set will be hidden.

Exceptions   

ValueError, "activate() called with bad value"

  currentmarkerinfo 
currentmarkerinfo ( self )

Identify the marker currently selected by the user.

Returns a HistogramMarkers instance and a marker. The instance will be None if no marker set has been activated. The marker will be None if no marker has been selected by the user.

  deletemarkers 
deletemarkers ( self,  markers )

Delete the given set of markers.

If the markers were active, there will be no active set of markers afterward.

Exceptions   

ValueError, "Bad value for delete()"

  __init__ 
__init__ (
        self,
        parent=None,
        **kw,
        )
  addmarkers 
addmarkers (
        self,
        activate=True,
        **kw,
        )

Create and return a new set of markers.

If activate is true, the new set will also become the active set. Other keyword arguments will be passed to the HistogramMarkers constructor.
