PYGLET – Getting Window Caption

In this article we will see how we can get the window caption in PYGLET module in python. Pyglet is easy to use but powerful library for developing visually rich GUI applications like games, multimedia etc. A window is a “heavyweight” object occupying operating system resources. Windows may appear as floating regions or can be set to fill an entire screen (fullscreen). Window caption is basically the title of the window, we can set caption while creating a window although we can change the title any time, this caption appear in the taskbar of the window. We use set_caption method to set the caption.

We can create a window with the help of command given below

 pyglet.window.Window(width, height, title)

In order to create window we use caption attribute with the window object

Syntax : window.caption

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns string

Below is the implementation

# importing pyglet module
import pyglet
import pyglet.window.key

# width of window
width = 500

# height of window
height = 500

# caption i.e title of the window
title = "Geeksforgeeks"

# creating a window
window = pyglet.window.Window(width, height, title)

# text
text = "GeeksforGeeks"

# creating a label with font = times roman
# font size = 36
# aligning it to the centre
label = pyglet.text.Label(text,
                          font_name ='Times New Roman',
                          font_size = 36,
                          x = window.width//2, y = window.height//2,
                          anchor_x ='center', anchor_y ='center')

new_label = pyglet.text.Label(text,
                          font_name ='Times New Roman',
                          font_size = 10,
                          x = 25, y = 25)

# on draw event
@window.event
def on_draw():


    # clearing the window
    window.clear()

    # drawing the label on the window
    label.draw()


# key press event
@window.event
def on_key_press(symbol, modifier):

    # key "C" get press
    if symbol == pyglet.window.key.C:

        # closing the window
        window.close()


# image for icon
img = image = pyglet.resource.image("logo.png")

# setting image as icon
window.set_icon(img)

# getting window caption
value = window.caption

# printing the value
print("Caption : ", end ="")
print(value)


# start running the application
pyglet.app.run()

Output :

Caption : Geeksforgeeks
