Type* | Description |
BOOL | True if the value passed evaluates to true (ie. "if a: print 1" prints 1). |
BOOL_A | An array of BOOL values. |
COLOR | Values can be specified as a descriptive name (i.e. "blue"), as an integer (i.e. 0xFF0000), or as an RGB object (i.e. RGB(0xFF, 0x00, 0x00)). |
COLOR_A | An array of COLOR values. |
FLOAT | A floating point value. |
FONTSIZE | One of "TINY", "SMALL", "MEDBOLD", "LARGE", "GIANT". |
INT | An integer. |
PERCENT | An integer x, such that 0 <= x <= 100. |
STRING | A string. |
UCHAR | An unsigned char. That is, a small positive integer. |
* Note that types are NOT enforced by type check - that means that you don't have to pass a Python integer to an integer option: an object with an __int__ method will do. Same goes for string options and objects with a __str__ or __repr__ method, etc.
