In this article we will see how we can trigger on show event 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).This event is triggered when a window is restored after being minimised, or after being displayed for the first time.
We can create a window with the help of command given below

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

Below is the syntax of the on show event, this method get called when this event is triggered

@window.event       
def on_show():
    print("Window is shown")

Below is the implementation

Python3

# 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 = "Geeksforzambiatek"
 
# creating a window
window = pyglet.window.Window(width, height, title)
 
# text 
text = "zambiatek"
 
# creating a label with font = times roman
# font size = 36
# aligning it to the center
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:
         
        print("Key C is pressed")
 
 
# on show event
@window.event
def on_show():
     
    # printing some message
    print("Window is displayed")
 
# image for icon
img = image = pyglet.resource.image("logo.png")
 
# setting image as icon
window.set_icon(img)
                
# start running the application
pyglet.app.run()
