Week #2: Feature additions in UI and IO modules =============================================== .. post:: June 13 2021 :author: Antriksh Misri :tags: google :category: gsoc What did I do this week? ------------------------ This week I had to work on 3 PRs as well as some documentation. I really enjoyed this week's work as the tasks were really interesting. The aim for these PRs were to actually add a couple of features in the UI as well as the IO module, which includes, adding support for border in Panel2D, adding support for network/URL images in load_image method in IO module, adding resizing Panel2D from bottom right corner, completing the document with layout solutions provided by Unity/Unreal engine. Below are the PRs that I worked on: * `Added support for URL image in load_image `_ : The load_image of IO module didn't support network /URL images, so I made this PR to add support for the same. * `Added support for border in Panel2D `_ : This PR was made in association with the Card2D PR. This PR adds support for border in Panel2D. The borders are individually customizable just like in CSS. This PR needs a little tweaking in terms of getters/setters. The same support needs to be added in Rectangle2D. * `Complete the document with layout solutions provided by Unity/Unreal engine `_ : Completed the document with layout solutions provided by Unity/Unreal Engine. * Behind the scenes I also worked on a Watcher class for the UI elements. The purpose of the watcher would be to monitor the UI elements for any changes after they have been added to the scene. A PR should be up by 2-3 days. Did I get stuck anywhere? ------------------------- I had a minor issue with the tests for the **IO** module. When running the tests for IO module using **pytest 5.0.0** resulted in Window fatal error, this was a sideeffect of pytest 5.0.0 wherein support for **faulthandler** was added. This error was suppressed by using certain flags while running the tests. What is coming up next? ----------------------- Next week I would probably work on adapting the **GridLayout** with UI elements, some other tasks that will be decided in the next meeting. **See you guys next week!**
