RepeatButton

class ibb.widgets.RepeatButton(**kwargs: Any)

A button that will repeat the click event when held down.

Parameters

• frequency (Float) – Click event frequency in Hz when holding down the button; Default 1

• delay (Float) – Time in seconds before the repeating begins; Default 1

Note

Whenever you click the button, you get a first click event. After delay seconds, another click event gets fired repeatedly at your given frequency.

Examples

Warning

Note that the widgets are not responding as we do not have a python backend running!

out = ipywidgets.Output()
btn = ibb.widgets.RepeatButton(
    description='Click me',
    icon='check',
    delay=3,
    frequency=2,
)

def click_handler(btn):
    # Set number of times pressed
    try:
        click_handler.counter += 1
    except AttributeError:

    out.clear_output()
