This lesson will go over the creation of a progress bar as one of the fundamental building blocks of a functional user interface.

Required Modules

import RLPy
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
from PySide2.shiboken2 import wrapInstance

Prime Number Checker

For our CPU intensive operation, we'll be checking for prime numbers from 1 to 10,000. A prime number is natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers. The opposite of this is a composite number. For example, 5 is prime because the only ways of writing it as a product, 1 × 5 or 5 × 1, involve 5 itself. However, 6 is composite because it is the product of two numbers (2 × 3) that are both smaller than 6.

def check_prime_number(num):
    if num > 1:    # Prime numbers are greater than 1
        for i in range(2, num):     # Check for factors
            if (num % i) == 0:
                return False
        else:
            return True
    else:     # If input number is less than or equal to 1, it is not prime
        return False

Building the UI

Ic python api prime number 02.png
window = RLPy.RUi.CreateRDockWidget()
window.SetWindowTitle("All Prime Numbers (0-10K)")

dock = wrapInstance(int(window.GetWindow()), QtWidgets.QDockWidget)
dock.setFixedSize(350, 350)
dock.setStyleSheet(
    """ QProgressBar{ font: bold; color: black; border: 1px solid black; background-color: grey;} 
        QProgressBar::chunk { width: 1px; background-color: #13c1ec}""")

widget = QtWidgets.QWidget()
dock.setWidget(widget)

layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
widget.setLayout(layout)

progress_bar = QtWidgets.QProgressBar()

text_edit = QtWidgets.QTextEdit(readOnly=True)

button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Calculate")
button.clicked.connect(run)

for widget in [progress_bar, text_edit, button]:
    layout.addWidget(widget)

window.Show()

Notice the Calculate button runs a function to start the entire prime number search process which is covered below.

Running the Script

def run():

    progress_bar.setRange(1, 10000)
    button.setHidden(True)
    found = 0

    for i in range(1, 10001):
        if check_prime_number(i):
            text_edit.insertPlainText("{:,}".format(i) + "\t")
            found += 1
        progress_bar.setValue(i)
        progress_bar.setFormat(f"Calculating: {round(i/100)}%")
        bottom = text_edit.verticalScrollBar().maximum()
        text_edit.verticalScrollBar().setValue(bottom)

    progress_bar.setFormat(f"{ '{:,}'.format(found) } prime numbers found.")

Everything Put Together

    if num > 1:    # Prime numbers are greater than 1
        for i in range(2, num):     # Check for factors
            if (num % i) == 0:
                return False
        else:
            return True
    else:     # If input number is less than or equal to 1, it is not prime
        return False


def run():

    progress_bar.setRange(1, 10000)
    button.setHidden(True)
    found = 0

    for i in range(1, 10001):
        if check_prime_number(i):
            text_edit.insertPlainText("{:,}".format(i) + "\t")
            found += 1
        progress_bar.setValue(i)
        progress_bar.setFormat(f"Calculating: {round(i/100)}%")
        bottom = text_edit.verticalScrollBar().maximum()
        text_edit.verticalScrollBar().setValue(bottom)

    progress_bar.setFormat(f"{ '{:,}'.format(found) } prime numbers found.")
