How To display line numbers in tkinter text widget - Python MagicStick Text Editor - Part 4

Saturday, May 13, 2017
Namaste Friends,




In Text Editor, line number always help user to find any specific or for remembering any line. ANd For Programmers, line numbers are like a golden way to detect any snxtax error in their code because during the execution of codes, mostly all programming language raise line number to highlight any syntax error In codes. Hence, Line Numbers are very important features for programmers and for others also.
So, In this Post, i am going to show you how to add line number in tkinter text widgets or you can say how to add line numbers showing features in Tkinter text widgets.


This Is our Fourth part of Python MagicStick Text Editor Project and In this post, i will show you how to add linenumber feature easily in MagicStick python project.

But first, if you are a new visitor, Then I will suggest you to read our tutorials number wise. because in these tutorial series i am showing how to use python tkinter module to create a real life application.

 Check Here Our Github Repo




Now, let's focus to our main topic.

 Here, First We will create a separated script "LineNumber.py". And In this Script, We will Create a Class That can Add Line Numbers In Text Widget.


Check Below my Example Codes.

1. "LineNumber.py"

To Run These Script Codes alone, Just Change line 24 from

"from Graphics import Tkinter"

To  "import Tkinter"

Or

To Run This Codes as MagicStick Script. Don't Do Any Changes in this codes.

Now, let's join this script in MagicStick Text Editor Project.

To Connect This Script With MagicStick project, we need to do only two steps.

1. first, Place This Script In Our "MagicStick/magicsticklibs" Project Directory.
2. Add Function Of This Script in Our "ConfigSettings.py".



Let me explain you these steps in more details.

Step 1.
 Place "LineNumber.py" In Our "MagicStick/magicsticklibs" Project Directory.


Our MagicStick Project Directory Structure.


MagicStick_Editor_Part_3
 |
 |---> About.txt  
 |
 |---> magicsticklibs
 |  |
 |  |---> __init__.py
 |  |     
 |  |---> Main.py
 |  |            
 |  |---> TextPad.py
 |  |
 |  |---> Graphics.py
 |  |
 |               |---> ConfigSettings.py 
 |  |
 |  |---> ScrollBar.py
 |  |
 |  |---> LineNumber.py
 |
 |
 |---> main.py

Step 2.
          Add "LineNumber.py" Function in Our "ConfigSettings.py" because in this project, "ConfigSettings.py" is responsible for joining libs in main stream.

from LineNumber import LineMain

class Connect:
 def __init__(self, pad):
  self.pad = pad
  self.modules_connections()


 def modules_connections(self):
  LineMain(self.pad)
  Scrollbar(self.pad)
  return

Boom! Our LineNumber.py script is now connected with MagicStick Project. To run this script in main stream of project. just run "main.py" script or you can also run this script alone and parallelled without touching project main stream just run "LineNumber.py".


After Running "main.py". my screenshot



This Tutorial Ends Here,

In My Next Tutorial, We will Continue This project.
