|
||||
Quick overview
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
Here you can learn the most important things about LVGL. You should read
|
||||
this first to get a general impression and read the detailed
|
||||
:ref:`porting` and :ref:`overview` sections
|
||||
after that.
|
||||
|
||||
Get started in a simulator
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of porting LVGL to embedded hardware straight away, it's highly
|
||||
recommended to get started in a simulator first.
|
||||
|
||||
LVGL is ported to many IDEs to be sure you will find your favorite one.
|
||||
Go to the :ref:`simulator` section to get ready-to-use projects that can be run
|
||||
on your PC. This way you can save the time of porting for now and get some
|
||||
experience with LVGL immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
Add LVGL into your project
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you would rather try LVGL on your own project follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Download <https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/archive/master.zip>`__ or
|
||||
clone the library from GitHub with ``git clone https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl.git``.
|
||||
- Copy the ``lvgl`` folder into your project. If you wish you can add only ``lvgl/lvgl.h``, ``lvgl/lv_version.h``, and ``lvgl/src``
|
||||
for LVGL itself, and ``lvgl/examples`` and ``lvgl/demos`` for the examples and demos respectively.
|
||||
- Copy ``lvgl/lv_conf_template.h`` as ``lv_conf.h`` next to the
|
||||
``lvgl`` folder, change the first ``#if 0`` to ``1`` to enable the
|
||||
file's content and set the :c:macro:`LV_COLOR_DEPTH` defines.
|
||||
- Include ``lvgl/lvgl.h`` in files where you need to use LVGL related functions.
|
||||
- Call :cpp:func:`lv_init`
|
||||
- Call :cpp:expr:`lv_tick_inc(x)` every ``x`` milliseconds in a Timer or Task
|
||||
(``x`` should be between 1 and 10). It is required for the internal
|
||||
timing of LVGL. Alternatively, register a ``tick_get_cb`` with
|
||||
:cpp:func:`lv_tick_set_cb` so that LVGL can retrieve the current time directly.
|
||||
- Create a display.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_display_t *display = lv_display_create(MY_DISP_HOR_RES, MY_DISP_VER_RES);
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a draw buffer: LVGL supports multiple buffering methods. Here you
|
||||
can see how to set up partial buffering
|
||||
(that is render the screen and the changed areas in a smaller buffer).
|
||||
The buffer size can be set freely but 1/10 screen size is a good starting point.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
/*Declare a buffer for 1/10 screen size*/
|
||||
#define BYTE_PER_PIXEL (LV_COLOR_FORMAT_GET_SIZE(LV_COLOR_FORMAT_RGB565)) /*will be 2 for RGB565 */
|
||||
static uint8_t buf1[MY_DISP_HOR_RES * MY_DISP_VER_RES / 10 * BYTE_PER_PIXEL];
|
||||
lv_display_set_buffers(display, buf1, NULL, sizeof(buf1), LV_DISPLAY_RENDER_MODE_PARTIAL); /*Initialize the display buffer.*/
|
||||
|
||||
- Implement and register a function which can copy the rendered image
|
||||
to an area of your display:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_display_set_flush_cb(display, my_disp_flush);
|
||||
|
||||
void my_disp_flush(lv_display_t * disp, const lv_area_t * area, lv_color_t * color_p)
|
||||
{
|
||||
int32_t x, y;
|
||||
/*It's a very slow but simple implementation.
|
||||
*`set_pixel` needs to be written by you to a set pixel on the screen*/
|
||||
for(y = area->y1; y <= area->y2; y++) {
|
||||
for(x = area->x1; x <= area->x2; x++) {
|
||||
set_pixel(x, y, *color_p);
|
||||
color_p++;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
lv_display_flush_ready(disp); /* Indicate you are ready with the flushing*/
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
- Implement and register a function which can read an input device.
|
||||
E.g. for a touchpad:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_indev_t * indev = lv_indev_create(); /*Create an input device*/
|
||||
lv_indev_set_type(indev, LV_INDEV_TYPE_POINTER); /*Touch pad is a pointer-like device*/
|
||||
lv_ondev_set_read_cb(indev, my_touchpad_read); /*Set your driver function*/
|
||||
|
||||
void my_touchpad_read(lv_indev_drv_t * indev_drv, lv_indev_data_t * data)
|
||||
{
|
||||
/*`touchpad_is_pressed` and `touchpad_get_xy` needs to be implemented by you*/
|
||||
if(touchpad_is_pressed()) {
|
||||
data->state = LV_INDEV_STATE_PRESSED;
|
||||
touchpad_get_xy(&data->point.x, &data->point.y);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
data->state = LV_INDEV_STATE_RELEASED;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
- Call :cpp:func:`lv_timer_handler` periodically every few milliseconds in
|
||||
the main ``while(1)`` loop or in an operating system task. It will
|
||||
redraw the screen if required, handle input devices, animation etc.
|
||||
|
||||
For a more detailed guide go to the :ref:`porting`
|
||||
section.
|
||||
|
||||
Learn the basics
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. _quick-overview_widgets:
|
||||
|
||||
Widgets
|
||||
~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The graphical elements like Buttons, Labels, Sliders, Charts etc. are
|
||||
called objects or widgets. Go to :ref:`widgets` to see the
|
||||
full list of available widgets.
|
||||
|
||||
Every object has a parent object where it is created. For example, if a
|
||||
label is created on a button, the button is the parent of label.
|
||||
|
||||
The child object moves with the parent and if the parent is deleted the
|
||||
children will be deleted too.
|
||||
|
||||
Children can be visible only within their parent's bounding area. In
|
||||
other words, the parts of the children outside the parent are clipped.
|
||||
|
||||
A Screen is the "root" parent. You can have any number of screens.
|
||||
|
||||
To get the current screen call :cpp:func:`lv_screen_active`, and to load a screen
|
||||
use :cpp:expr:`lv_screen_load(scr1)`.
|
||||
|
||||
You can create a new object with ``lv_<type>_create(parent)``. It will
|
||||
return an :cpp:type:`lv_obj_t` ``*`` variable that can be used as a reference to the
|
||||
object to set its parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_t * slider1 = lv_slider_create(lv_screen_active());
|
||||
|
||||
To set some basic attributes ``lv_obj_set_<parameter_name>(obj, <value>)`` functions can be used. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_set_x(btn1, 30);
|
||||
lv_obj_set_y(btn1, 10);
|
||||
lv_obj_set_size(btn1, 200, 50);
|
||||
|
||||
Along with the basic attributes, widgets can have type specific
|
||||
parameters which are set by ``lv_<widget_type>_set_<parameter_name>(obj, <value>)`` functions. For
|
||||
example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_slider_set_value(slider1, 70, LV_ANIM_ON);
|
||||
|
||||
To see the full API visit the documentation of the widgets or the
|
||||
related header file
|
||||
(e.g. `lvgl/src/widgets/slider/lv_slider.h <https://github.com/lvgl/lvgl/blob/master/src/widgets/slider/lv_slider.h>`__).
|
||||
|
||||
.. _quick-overview_events:
|
||||
|
||||
Events
|
||||
~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Events are used to inform the user that something has happened with an
|
||||
object. You can assign one or more callbacks to an object which will be
|
||||
called if the object is clicked, released, dragged, being deleted, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
A callback is assigned like this:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_add_event_cb(btn, btn_event_cb, LV_EVENT_CLICKED, NULL); /*Assign a callback to the button*/
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
void btn_event_cb(lv_event_t * e)
|
||||
{
|
||||
printf("Clicked\n");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
:cpp:enumerator:`LV_EVENT_ALL` can be used instead of :cpp:enumerator:`LV_EVENT_CLICKED` to invoke
|
||||
the callback for any event.
|
||||
|
||||
From :cpp:expr:`lv_event_t * e` the current event code can be retrieved with:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_event_code_t code = lv_event_get_code(e);
|
||||
|
||||
The object that triggered the event can be retrieved with:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_t * obj = lv_event_get_target(e);
|
||||
|
||||
To learn all features of the events go to the :ref:`events` section.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _quick-overview_parts:
|
||||
|
||||
Parts
|
||||
~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Widgets might be built from one or more *parts*. For example, a button
|
||||
has only one part called :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_MAIN`. However, a
|
||||
:ref:`lv_slider` has :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_MAIN`, :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_INDICATOR`
|
||||
and :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_KNOB`.
|
||||
|
||||
By using parts you can apply different styles to sub-elements of a
|
||||
widget. (See below)
|
||||
|
||||
Read the widgets' documentation to learn which parts each uses.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _quick-overview_states:
|
||||
|
||||
States
|
||||
~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
LVGL objects can be in a combination of the following states:
|
||||
|
||||
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_DEFAULT`: Normal, released state
|
||||
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_CHECKED`: Toggled or checked state
|
||||
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_FOCUSED`: Focused via keypad or encoder or clicked via touchpad/mouse
|
||||
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_FOCUS_KEY`: Focused via keypad or encoder but not via touchpad/mouse
|
||||
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_EDITED`: Edit by an encoder
|
||||
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_HOVERED`: Hovered by mouse
|
||||
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_PRESSED`: Being pressed
|
||||
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_SCROLLED`: Being scrolled
|
||||
- :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_DISABLED`: Disabled
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you press an object it will automatically go to the
|
||||
:cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_FOCUSED` and :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_PRESSED` states and when you
|
||||
release it the :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_PRESSED` state will be removed while focus
|
||||
remains active.
|
||||
|
||||
To check if an object is in a given state use
|
||||
``lv_obj_has_state(obj, LV_STATE_...)``. It will return ``true`` if the
|
||||
object is currently in that state.
|
||||
|
||||
To manually add or remove states use:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_add_state(obj, LV_STATE_...);
|
||||
lv_obj_remove_state(obj, LV_STATE_...);
|
||||
|
||||
.. _quick-overview_styles:
|
||||
|
||||
Styles
|
||||
~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
A style instance contains properties such as background color, border
|
||||
width, font, etc. that describe the appearance of objects.
|
||||
|
||||
Styles are represented with :cpp:struct:`lv_style_t` variables. Only their pointer
|
||||
is saved in the objects so they need to be defined as static or global.
|
||||
Before using a style it needs to be initialized with
|
||||
:cpp:expr:`lv_style_init(&style1)`. After that, properties can be added to
|
||||
configure the style. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
static lv_style_t style1;
|
||||
lv_style_init(&style1);
|
||||
lv_style_set_bg_color(&style1, lv_color_hex(0xa03080))
|
||||
lv_style_set_border_width(&style1, 2))
|
||||
|
||||
See the full list of properties here :ref:`styles_properties`.
|
||||
|
||||
Styles are assigned using the ORed combination of an object's part and
|
||||
state. For example to use this style on the slider's indicator when the
|
||||
slider is pressed:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_add_style(slider1, &style1, LV_PART_INDICATOR | LV_STATE_PRESSED);
|
||||
|
||||
If the *part* is :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_MAIN` it can be omitted:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_add_style(btn1, &style1, LV_STATE_PRESSED); /*Equal to LV_PART_MAIN | LV_STATE_PRESSED*/
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_DEFAULT` can be omitted too:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_add_style(slider1, &style1, LV_PART_INDICATOR); /*Equal to LV_PART_INDICATOR | LV_STATE_DEFAULT*/
|
||||
|
||||
For :cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_DEFAULT` and :cpp:enumerator:`LV_PART_MAIN` simply write ``0``:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_add_style(btn1, &style1, 0); /*Equal to LV_PART_MAIN | LV_STATE_DEFAULT*/
|
||||
|
||||
Styles can be cascaded (similarly to CSS). It means you can add more
|
||||
styles to a part of an object. For example ``style_btn`` can set a
|
||||
default button appearance, and ``style_btn_red`` can overwrite the
|
||||
background color to make the button red:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_add_style(btn1, &style_btn, 0);
|
||||
lv_obj_add_style(btn1, &style1_btn_red, 0);
|
||||
|
||||
If a property is not set on for the current state, the style with
|
||||
:cpp:enumerator:`LV_STATE_DEFAULT` will be used. A default value is used if the
|
||||
property is not defined in the default state.
|
||||
|
||||
Some properties (typically the text-related ones) can be inherited. This
|
||||
means if a property is not set in an object it will be searched for in
|
||||
its parents too. For example, you can set the font once in the screen's
|
||||
style and all text on that screen will inherit it by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Local style properties also can be added to objects. This creates a
|
||||
style which resides inside the object and is used only by the object:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: c
|
||||
|
||||
lv_obj_set_style_bg_color(slider1, lv_color_hex(0x2080bb), LV_PART_INDICATOR | LV_STATE_PRESSED);
|
||||
|
||||
To learn all the features of styles see the :ref:`styles` section.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _quick-overview_themes:
|
||||
|
||||
Themes
|
||||
~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Themes are the default styles for objects. Styles from a theme are
|
||||
applied automatically when objects are created.
|
||||
|
||||
The theme for your application is a compile time configuration set in
|
||||
``lv_conf.h``.
