Making a Transparent Webview
-
so kinda wanted to create animated charts in pythonista except that matplotlib creates static ones and non interactive charts. I was thinking if there's a way to sorta wrap Chartjs (a JavaScript library for cretaing charts) in a webview and set it's background to be clear. i tried doing this but i ran into a problem:
⢠setting a clear background webview doesn't seem all that easy, although it seems that it could be done using obj_util (something i am unfamiliar with)Any help would be very much appreciated thanks alot
Update: All right so i have been looking around and found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3646930/how-to-make-a-transparent-uiwebview
Which i tried implementing as follows ( But for some reason pythonista crashes instead):
#[webView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; from objc_util import * import ui UIColor=ObjCClass('UIColor') class WebViewContainer (ui.View): def __init__(self, web_view): ui.View.__init__(self) self.web_view = web_view self.add_subview(web_view) _web_view = ObjCInstance(web_view) _web_view.setBackgroundColor_(UIColor.clearColor().CGColor()) _web_view.setOpaque_('NO') w,h=ui.get_screen_size() wv=ui.WebView() wv.frame=(0,0,w,h) wvo=WebViewContainer(wv) view=ui.View() view.add_subview(wvo) view.present()

@zmous only one change needed:
_web_view.setBackgroundColor_(UIColor.clearColor())#.CGColor())

@zmous Strange, your code with only the little modification above commented the .CGColor() does not crash for me
