Any subDrawing instances ?

[Thibaud-Ardoin]

Hello,

I like your library, although I can't find any complete doc about it.

I don't manage to create multiple drawing elements and then combine them. Would there be a way to do that properly ?
For example :

# A map element
d = draw.subDrawing(2, 2, origin='center', id='map')
d.append(draw.Circle(position_relative_to_map[0],position_relative_to_map[1], 0.03,
                fill=pick_fill_col, stroke_width=0.008, stroke=pick_strok_col))

# An information element
panel = draw.subDrawing(2, 2, origin='center', id='data_panel')
panel.append(draw.Text(data_text, position_in_data[0], position_in_data[1], fill=target_text_color, text_anchor='start'))

# Final combination of booth
final = draw.Drawing(4,2, origin='center')
final.append(d, (3, 1)) #Inserting subDrawing at determinated position
final.append(panel, (1, 1))

A hacky way would be to append everything directly to the final drawing with a offset that depends on the 'subDrawing'. It is unpleasant tho.

Thank you in advance for your help

You would use Group for this. It looks like there is no example in the README for Group yet.

d = draw.Drawing(...)

map = draw.Group(id='map_panel', x=3, y=1)
map.append(...)
d.append(map)

panel = draw.Group(id='data_panel', x=1, y=1)
panel.append(...)
d.append(panel)

Oh I see,
Thank you very much !

Re-opening this until I add an example to the documentation.

Actually, I what is working is the following

d = draw.Drawing(...)

map = draw.Group(id='map_panel', transform='translate(3, -1)')
map.append(...)
d.append(map)

panel = draw.Group(id='data_panel', transform='translate(1, -1)')
panel.append(...)
d.append(panel)

Right, x and y work with Use with may also be helpful for you.

d.append(draw.Use(map, 3, -1))
