Meter widget of ttkbootstrap

A radial meter that can be used to show progress of a process or can be used as input to the process.


`arcrange`	Arc range in degree.
`arcoffset`	Offset from starting position in degree, 0 position is at 3'Oclock .
`amounttotal`	The maximum value of the Arc
`amountused`	Current Meter value, displayed at center if showtext is True.
`wedgesize`	The length of the wedge if not equal to 0 .
`metersize`	Size of one side of the Meter ( as a squre ).
`arcrange`	Arc range in degree.
`bootstyle`	Style keyword, options are primary, secondary, success,info,warning,danger, light, dark
`metertype`	FULL or SEMI
`meterthickness`	Thickness of indicator.
`showtext`	True / False, Show the text.
`interactive`	If True then indicator can be adjusted using Mouse
`stripethickness`	If greater than 0 then striped bands with thickness is shown.
`textleft`	At the left of center text.
`textright`	At the right of center text.
`textfont`	Font for the center text. textfont=['Times',10,'bold']
`subtext`	Supplemental text below center text.
`subtextstyle`	Bootstyle colour of subtext.
`subtextfont`	Font for subtext .
`stepsize`	Step size of increment on Mouse interaction.
`**kwargs`	Other keyword arguments.

my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("400x220")

b1 = ttk.Meter(
    my_w,
    amountused=85,
    metersize=200,

Ttkbootstrap Radial Meter widget to display or read Progress of a process

configure()

We can manage parameters by using configure().

b1.configure(amountused=25,interactive=True)

Displaying amountused value

We will update the Meter by using mouse by keeping the parameter interactive=True and display the same value on a Button.

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *

my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("400x220") # width and height 

b1 = ttk.Meter(
    my_w,
    amountused=65,
    meterthickness=30,
    bootstyle=WARNING,
    interactive=True
)
b1.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=10, pady=10)

l2=ttk.Button(my_w,textvariable=b1.amountusedvar,bootstyle=DANGER)
l2.grid(row=1,column=2,padx=10)

my_w.mainloop()

Using bootstyle parameter

Inside a for loop we can add different available bootstrap style colours by using bootstyle parameter.
Check how the textfont, subtextfont parameters are used.

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *

my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("720x80")
c=0 # column value 
for my_style in my_w.style.colors:  # List of styles
    m1 = ttk.Meter(
        subtext=my_style,subtextfont=['Times',6,'normal'],
        textfont=['Times',6,'bold'],metersize=80,
        amountused=65, bootstyle=my_style
    )
    m1.grid(row=1, column=c,padx=5)
    c = c + 1

my_w.mainloop()

textfont, textleft, textright, subtext, subtextfont, subtextstyle

b1 = ttk.Meter(
    my_w,
    amountused=65,
    meterthickness=30,
    bootstyle=INFO,
    interactive=True,
    textfont=['Times',26,'bold'],
    textright='%',
    textleft='Speed',
    subtext='Performance',
    subtextfont=['Times',10,'normal'],
    subtextstyle=SECONDARY
)

stripthickness

Ttkbootstrap Meter stripethickness with timer

We can create segments in meter, by using stripthickness to more than 0. Here is one example using one segment representing one second. We are using one 60 second Meter where the starting of the counting is triggered by click of a button. Each second one segment is added.

To trigger the function to change the value we have used one recursive timer. It takes the inputs in milliseconds and after the delay triggers the function

gap_sec=1000 #  milliseconds
my_w.after(gap_sec,my_second)

Full code is here

import ttkbootstrap as ttk
from ttkbootstrap.constants import *

my_w = ttk.Window()
my_w.geometry("220x260")  # width and height

m1 = ttk.Meter(
    my_w,
    amounttotal=59,
    amountused=0,
    meterthickness=20,
    bootstyle=INFO,
    metersize=200,
    stripethickness=6
)
m1.grid(row=1, column=1, padx=5, pady=10)

count=0 
gap_sec=10 # Time delay in Millseconds 
def my_second():
    global count
    if count <=59:
        m1['amountused']=count #  update meter value
        count=count+1
        my_w.after(gap_sec,my_second) # time delay in Milli seconds 
        
    else:
        count=0
    
b1=ttk.Button(my_w,text='Start',command=my_second)
b1.grid(row=2,column=1)
my_w.mainloop()
