Class WriteDrawPages

Introduction

The WriteDrawPages class represents the collection of draw pages in a Writer document.

This class contains several python magic methods to make it behave like a collection.

Getting Number of Pages

To get the number of pages in a draw document, use the built in len() method:

>>> doc = WriteDoc(Write.create_doc())
>>> len(doc.draw_pages)
1

Getting a Draw Page

Get Draw Page by Index.

>>> doc = WriteDoc(Write.create_doc())
>>> doc.draw_pages[0]
<ooodev.write.WriteDrawPage object at 0x7f8b1c0b4a90>

To get the last sheet in a document, use the -1 index:

>>> doc = WriteDoc(Write.create_doc())
>>> doc.draw_pages[-1]
<ooodev.write.WriteDrawPage object at 0x7f8b1c0b4a90>

Alternatively, you can get a draw page direct from Class WriteDoc using the draw_page property.

Deleting a Draw Page

To delete a sheet, use the del keyword:

Delete by draw page index.

>>> doc = WriteDoc(Write.create_doc())
>>> # other code
>>> del doc.draw_pages[0]

Iterating over Draw Pages

To iterate over the draw pages in a document, use the for keyword:

>>> doc = WriteDoc(Write.create_doc())
>>> for draw_page in doc.draw_pages:
...     print(draw_page.name)

Class Declaration

class ooodev.write.WriteDrawPages(owner, slides, lo_inst=None)[source]

Bases: LoInstPropsPartial, DrawPagesComp, WriteDocPropPartial, QiPartial, TheDictionaryPartial

Class for managing Writer Draw Pages.

__delitem__(_item)[source]

Removes a draw page from the document.

Parameters:

_item (int | WriteDrawPage[WriteDoc] | XDrawPage) – Index, name, or object of the draw page.

idx (int) – The index of the draw page. Idx can be a negative value to get from the end of the document.

Returns:

The drawpage with the specified index.

Return type:

WriteDrawPage[WriteDoc]

Parameters:
  • owner (WriteDoc) – Owner Document

  • slides (XDrawPages) – Document Pages.

Return type:

None

__iter__()[source]

Iterates through the draw pages.

Returns:

current instance.
