PYGLET – Accessing view_y Property of Incremental Text Layout

Last Updated : 10 Jun, 2021

In this article we will see how we can access the view_y property of incremental text layout object in PYGLET module in python. Pyglet is easy to use but powerful library for developing visually rich GUI applications like games, multimedia etc. A window is a "heavyweight" object occupying operating system resources. Windows may appear as floating regions or can be set to fill an entire screen (fullscreen). Incremental text layout displays text which is suitable for interactive editing and/or scrolling large documents. Unlike TextLayout and ScrollableTextLayout, this class generates vertex lists only for lines of text that are visible. As the document is scrolled, vertex lists are deleted and created as appropriate to keep video memory usage to a minimum and improve rendering speed. view_y is the y-axis of the currently visible text.
We can create a window and incremental text layout with the help of commands given below

# creating a window
window = pyglet.window.Window(width, height, title)

# creating a incremental layout
layout = pyglet.text.layout.IncrementalTextLayout(document, width, height)

In order to create window we use view_y attribute with the layout object
Syntax : layout.view_y
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns integer

Below is the implementation
