Python - Window size Adjustment in Kivy


Kivy is a platform independent GUI tool in Python. As it can be run on Android, IOS, linux and Windows etc. Kivy provides you the functionality to write the code for once and run it on different platforms. It is basically used to develop the Android application, but it does not mean that it can not be used on Desktops applications.

Kivy is that platform where the size does not matter a lot as it is self-adjusting accordingly but What if we want to fix the size to some extent whether its hight wise or width wise or free from boundation depends on the user requirement.

Example

# When there is no fix window size i.e fully resizable according to user:
from kivy.config import Config
# 0 being off 1 being on as in true / false you can use 0 or 1 && True or False
Config.set('graphics', 'resizable', True)
# import kivy module
import kivy
# this restrict the kivy version i.e below this kivy version you cannot use the app
kivy.require("1.9.1")
# base Class of your App inherits from the App class. app:always refers to the instance of your #application
from kivy.app import App
# if you not import label and use it through error
from kivy.uix.label import Label
# defining the App class
class MyLabelApp(App):
   def build(self):
      # label display the text on screen
      # markup text with different colour
         l2 = Label(text ="[color = ff3333][b]Hello !!!!!!!!!!![/b]
            [/color]\n [color = 3333ff]World!!! !!:):):):)[/color]",
               font_size ='20sp', markup = True)
         return l2
# creating the object
label = MyLabelApp()
# run the window
label.run()
# No resizing, fixed size with the width:
from kivy.config import Config
# 0 being off 1 being on as in true / false
# you can use 0 or 1 && True or False
Config.set('graphics', 'resizable', '0')
# fix the width of the window
Config.set('graphics', 'width', '500')
#fixing the height of the window
from kivy.config import Config
# 0 being off 1 being on as in true / false
# you can use 0 or 1 && True or False
Config.set('graphics', 'resizable', '0')
# fix the height of the window
Config.set('graphics', 'height', '400')
