This also opens a lot of possibilities to create dynamic codes in Kivy. In this recipe, we will register one of our widgets.
We will use an adaptation of the code in the recipe Creating Widgets of Chapter 6, Advanced Graphics – Shaders and Rendering to register the widget as a factory object. Copy the file in the same location of this recipe with the name e7.py.
In this recipe, we will use one of our simple Python files where we will register our widget using the factory package. Follow these steps:
