ui-examples | demo code for demonstrating ZK

I discovered that I was looking in the wrong direction: I was trying to access stuff from the top of main() in the .build(ui, || {}) block, but what I should have been doing was retrieving that info from system.main_loop() as parameter. A global state with trivial variables should still be done as I attempted previously, but when you need a reference to window internals, you do need a different solution.

I made the following changes: In mod.rs (This file is included in the linked ImGui examples), change the signature of F in main_loop() to pass a &Display: pub fn main_loop(self, mut run_ui: F)

Then in said function, change the call to run_ui() to pass a reference of the display variable. This function already possesses all of these internal variables, so you can directly access it: run_ui(&mut run, &display, &mut ui); After doing so, you can now edit your lambda to main_loop to receive this new parameter. You can then do exciting things with the window context!

Use tkinter.ttk to get themed version

If you want to exactly replicate the GUI of the tutorial using the GUIDE tool, first you have to notice that in the tutoirial the clock is created by using a text uicontrol, so it is clear why you've inserted in the GUI an axes.

Also. the GUI "window" (the figure) is automatically created by GUIDE, so there is not needed to add ax axes, unless you want to create an "analog" clock with hands for the hours, minutes, etc, but, in this case, the GUI will result more complicated.

Working with GUIDE you have to simply add a text uicontrol, then, if you want to exactly reproduce the shape of the clock in the tutorial, you can set the different parameters of the figure and of the text uicontrol through the Property Inspector.

Once you have created the GUI, you can insert in its .m file the function from the tutorial, in order to make it working, as follows:

• Insert the code for the creation of the timer and its initialization in the GUI OpeningFcn
• Use the figure's handles to share the variables among the figure uicontrols
• Add the figure's handels as additional input parameter of the updater and deleter function

Then you can just copy & paste the updater and deleter functions, the third element of the varargin cellarray will be the figure's handle struct in which you have set, in the OpeningFcn the timer data.

With respect to the code in the tutorial, in the updater function you have to add the line:

The CORS issue can be solved with Flask-CORS extension.
Install it with pip:

It appears that the default store is for all workspaces. In my class that extends the AbstractUIPlugin, i overrode the "getPreferenceStore" method to ensure it is retrieving an Instance scope store.
