Stephen Swaney 05e76c22b0 bugfix: #1322 minor tweaks to the documentation for Draw module.
Blender.Draw.Button() was not showing up.  Seems to be an epydoc
issue with Button() being both a module method and the name of a class.
I changed Button to Button_ and added a usage note.
Yes, this is lame.

# Blender.Draw module and the Button PyType object
"""
The Blender.Draw submodule.
Draw
====
This module provides access to a B{windowing interface} in Blender. Its widgets
include many kinds of buttons: push, toggle, menu, number, string, slider,
scrollbar, plus support for text drawing. It also includes keyboard keys and
mouse button code values in its dictionary (print dir(Blender.Draw)).
Example::
import Blender
from Blender import Draw, BGL
mystring = ""
mymsg = ""
toggle = 0
def event(evt, val): # the function to handle input events
global mystring, mymsg
if not val: # val = 0: it's a key/mbutton release
if evt in [Draw.LEFTMOUSE, Draw.MIDDLEMOUSE, Draw.RIGHTMOUSE]:
mymsg = "You released a mouse button."
Draw.Redraw(1)
return
if evt == Draw.ESCKEY:
Draw.Exit() # exit when user presses ESC
return
elif Draw.AKEY <= evt <= Draw.ZKEY: mystring += chr(evt)
elif evt == Draw.SPACEKEY: mystring += ' '
elif evt == Draw.BACKSPACEKEY and len(mystring):
mystring = mystring[:-1]
else: return # no need to redraw if nothing changed
Draw.Redraw(1)
def button_event(evt): # the function to handle Draw Button events
global mymsg, toggle
if evt == 1:
mymsg = "You pressed the toggle button."
toggle = 1 - toggle
Draw.Redraw(1)
def gui(): # the function to draw the screen
global mystring, mymsg, toggle
if len(mystring) > 90: mystring = ""
BGL.glClearColor(0,0,1,1)
BGL.glClear(BGL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT)
BGL.glColor3f(1,1,1)
Draw.Toggle("Toggle", 1, 10, 10, 55, 20, toggle,"A toggle button")
BGL.glRasterPos2i(72, 16)
if toggle: toggle_state = "down"
else: toggle_state = "up"
Draw.Text("The toggle button is %s." % toggle_state, "small")
BGL.glRasterPos2i(10, 230)
Draw.Text("Type letters from a to z, ESC to leave.")
BGL.glRasterPos2i(20, 200)
Draw.Text(mystring)
BGL.glColor3f(1,0.4,0.3)
BGL.glRasterPos2i(340, 70)
Draw.Text(mymsg, "tiny")
Draw.Register(gui, event, button_event) # registering the 3 callbacks
@note: The example above was fixed to call Draw.Register only once. It's
not necessary to re-register the callbacks, they will stay until Draw.Exit
is called. It's enough to redraw the screen when a relevant event is caught.
Apologies for the confusion.
@warn: Inside the windowing loop (after Draw.Register() has been executed and
before Draw.Exit() is called), don't use the redraw functions from other
modules (Blender and Window). The Draw submodule has its own Draw.Redraw() and
Draw.Draw() functions that can be used inside the windowing loop.

two arguments: f(evt, val), where:

- 'val' (int) is the value modifier. If val = 0, the event refers to a
key or mouse button being released. Otherwise it's a key/button press.
