access a created item (beginner)

[henriblum]

hello
i am a beginner in python and with dearpygui... i am looking to create items to use/configure them later (so not at the time of their creation). for example with a plot. but i can't do it. i am looking to do something like this :

_wav_plot=dpg.add_plot(label="Wave", height=300, width=1500)

.
.
.

with wav_plot:
dpg.add_plot_axis(dpg.mvXAxis,no_tick_marks=True)

but it doesn't work like that. is it possible?
thanks

you can code your own Window class - context manager.

def __init__(self):
  self.id= dpg.add_window()

def __enter__(self):
  """adding item to this window"""
  dpg.push_container_stack(self.id)
  return self

def __exit__(self, type, value, traceback):
  dpg.pop_container_stack()

so usage will be,

with Window() as wnd_instance: ...

with wnd_instance:
  dpg.add_button()...
  (x, y) = wnd_instance.get_pos()
  ...
