PtClock

An analog, digital, or LED clock

Class hierarchy:

For more information, see the diagram of the widget hierarchy.

Public header:

<photon/PtClock.h>

Description:

A PtClock draws a clock and can optionally update its display periodically (about once a second) to reflect the current time.


PtClock


Analog, digital, and LED clocks created by PtClock.

PtClock follows the system time, but don't rely on it to be accurate all the time.


Note: The widget may flicker excessively, particularly if you use a transparent fill color. To reduce flicker, use a nontransparent fill color or disable the display of seconds.

Alternatively, you can place the clock in a PtOSContainer, but you must use a transparent fill for the clock, or it won't be refreshed properly.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_FACE_COLOR

C type Pt type Default
PgColor_t Scalar Pg_WHITE

The fill color of the clock's face (applicable only for analog clocks). See PgColor_t in the Photon Library Reference.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_FACE_OUTLINE_COLOR

C type Pt type Default
PgColor_t Scalar Pg_BLACK

The color of the line drawn around the clock face (applicable only for analog clocks). See PgColor_t in the Photon Library Reference.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_FLAGS

C type Pt type Default
long Flag Pt_CLOCK_TRACK_TIME | Pt_CLOCK_SHOW_SECONDS | Pt_CLOCK_SHOW_NUMBERS

Defines the clock's behavior. Possible values are:

Pt_CLOCK_24_HOUR
Use a 24-hour display rather than conventional 12-hour format. This flag overrides Pt_CLOCK_SHOW_AMPM.
Pt_CLOCK_PAD_HOURS
Pad the hour field with a leading zero such that there are always 2 digits in the hours field (applicable only for digital or LED clocks).
Pt_CLOCK_SHOW_AMPM
Display an AM/PM indicator. For digital clocks, this is rendered as an AM or PM suffix. For LED clocks, this is rendered as a dot in the upper right corner (AM) or lower right corner (PM) of the display. This flag has no effect on analog clocks, and is overridden by the Pt_CLOCK_24_HOUR flag.
Pt_CLOCK_SHOW_NUMBERS
Display numbers on the face (applicable only for analog clocks).
Pt_CLOCK_SHOW_SECONDS
Display the seconds component of the time.
Pt_CLOCK_TRACK_TIME
Update the clock every second to reflect the current time. If this flag isn't set, the clock holds its current setting until it's changed programmatically or the flag is reenabled.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_FONT

C type Pt type Default
char * String "TextFont09"

The font to use. For analog clocks, this applies to the numbers on the face (if displayed). For digital clocks, this applies to the entire display.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_HOUR

C type Pt type Default
short Scalar Pt_CLOCK_CURRENT

The current hour setting for the clock (reflecting the current system clock setting if Pt_CLOCK_TRACK_TIME is set). This value is in 24-hour format.

If you set this resource to Pt_CLOCK_CURRENT, the clock is set to the current system time.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_HOUR_COLOR

C type Pt type Default
PgColor_t Scalar Pg_BLACK

The color to use when drawing the hours component. See PgColor_t in the Photon Library Reference.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_HOUR_OFFSET

C type Pt type Default
short Scalar 0

Offset the clock setting by this amount when displaying the hours field.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_MINUTE

C type Pt type Default
short Scalar Pt_CLOCK_CURRENT

The current minute setting for the clock (reflecting the current system clock setting if Pt_CLOCK_TRACK_TIME is set). If you set this resource to Pt_CLOCK_CURRENT, the clock is set to the current system time.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_MINUTE_COLOR

C type Pt type Default
PgColor_t Scalar Pg_BLACK

The color to use when drawing the minutes component. See PgColor_t in the Photon Library Reference.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_MINUTE_OFFSET

C type Pt type Default
short Scalar 0

Offset the clock setting by this amount when displaying the minutes field.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_SECOND

C type Pt type Default
short Scalar Pt_CLOCK_CURRENT

The current second setting for the clock (reflecting the current system clock setting if Pt_CLOCK_TRACK_TIME is set). If you set this resource to Pt_CLOCK_CURRENT, the clock is set to the current system time.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_SECOND_COLOR

C type Pt type Default
PgColor_t Scalar Pg_RED

The color to use when drawing the seconds component. See PgColor_t in the Photon Library Reference.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_SECOND_OFFSET

C type Pt type Default
short Scalar 0

Offset the clock setting by this amount when displaying the seconds field.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_SEP1

C type Pt type Default
char * String ":"

The separator to use between the hours and minutes field (applicable only for digital clocks; LED clocks always use a colon). Only the first character of the string is used.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_SEP1_COLOR

C type Pt type Default
PgColor_t Scalar Pg_BLACK

The color to use when drawing the separator character between hours and minutes. See PgColor_t in the Photon Library Reference.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_SEP2

C type Pt type Default
char * String ":"

The separator to use between the minutes and seconds field (applicable only for digital clocks with Pt_CLOCK_SHOW_SECONDS set; LED clocks always use a colon). Only the first character of the string is used.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_SEP2_COLOR

C type Pt type Default
PgColor_t Scalar Pg_BLACK

The color to use when drawing the separator character between minutes and seconds. See PgColor_t in the Photon Library Reference.

Pt_ARG_CLOCK_TYPE

C type Pt type Default
short Scalar Pt_CLOCK_ANALOG

The clock type:

Pt_CLOCK_DIGITAL
A numeric display (using system fonts).
Pt_CLOCK_LED
A scalable display that resembles conventional LED/LCD digital clocks.
Pt_CLOCK_ANALOG
An analog clock with hands.

Pt_CB_CLOCK_TIME_CHANGED

C type Pt type Default
PtCallback_t * Link NULL

A list of PtCallback_t structures that define the callbacks invoked when the time on the clock changes. This occurs once a second if Pt_CLOCK_SHOW_SECONDS is set, otherwise once every minute when the minute changes.

If the widget has the Pt_CALLBACKS_ACTIVE bit set in its Pt_ARG_FLAGS resource, these callbacks are also invoked when your application changes the time by calling PtSetResource() or PtSetResources().

Each callback is passed a PtCallbackInfo_t structure that contains at least the following members:

reason
Pt_CB_CLOCK_TIME_CHANGED
reason_subtype
Why this callback was invoked. This value is a flag that may contain any of the following (ORed together):
event
A pointer to a PhEvent_t structure that describes the event that caused the callback to be invoked. If event is NULL, the callback was invoked because your application changed the time setting by calling PtSetResources().
cbdata
A pointer to a PtClockTimeCallback_t structure that contains at least:

These callbacks should return Pt_CONTINUE.

Inherited resources:

If the widget modifies an inherited resource, the “Default override” column indicates the new value. This modification affects any subclasses of the widget.
