Kivy is a platform independent GUI tool in Python. As it can be run on Android, IOS, linux, and Windows, etc. It is basically used to develop the Android application, but it does not mean that it can not be used on Desktops applications.

Kivy Tutorial – Learn Kivy with Examples.

Line canvas:

Line is a vertex canvas instruction. It allows drawing of lines through points. This code shows how to use/draw the extended line drawing such as circles, ellipses, rectangles and Bezier, and so on. 

Basic Approach:

1) import kivy
2) import kivy App
3) import Gridlayout
4) import widget
5) set minimum version(optional)
6) Create as much as widget class as needed
7) create the App class
8) return the widget/layout etc class
9) Run an instance of the class

Implementation of Approach:
# Main.py

Python3




# kivy Lines Demo
 
# import kivy module 
import kivy 
     
# base Class of your App inherits from the App class.   
# app:always refers to the instance of your application   
from kivy.app import App 
     
 
# The GridLayout arranges children in a matrix.
# It takes the available space and
# divides it into columns and rows,
# then adds widgets to the resulting “cells”.
from kivy.uix.gridlayout import GridLayout
 
# Widgets are elements of
# a graphical user interface that
# form part of the User Experience.
from kivy.uix.widget import Widget
