Interactive-Assembly-Line-Balancer VS DearPyGui

The showcase shows two apps with node editors: Heron and Interactive Assembly Line Balancer. The latter uses an older version of DPG that is not compatible with the latest version of DPG. I think that the node editor specific code should compatible still. In the latest version of DPG, you should use `tag` instead of `id`.

DPG offers all the tools, but you will have to handle the node data in the Python code. Here is an example that was made with an older version (0.6), so it’s useful to get ideas, but notnsuitable for copying and pasting the code in the current version of Dear PyGui (version 1.x). https://github.com/RahulShagri/Interactive-Assembly-Line-Balancer

Dear PyGui is a lightweight GUI framework that has a look of its own that I'd consider fairly modern. For example, see https://github.com/RahulShagri/Interactive-Assembly-Line-Balancer

A different approach might be with a different kind of nodes. You can create your own overview of nodes programmatically with a GUI library called Dear PyGui.

For native GUI, DearPyGui[0] as modern as you can.

For browser web-based GUI, you can use nicegui[1]

If it's just to align text in the centre or to the right of a box, you could use a button and, by using theming, hide the fact that it's a button. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/issues/1111

Personally, i like PyQt or PySide they have basically everything you need to make a proper app or even simple apps, but there is another DearPyGui this is basically python version of imgui the c++ library, it provides some good customization options and can be used for simple or complex projects too, their discord is also very helpful.

There are some examples in the showcase as well. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/wiki/Dear-PyGui-Showcase

I'm a big fan of DearPyGUI

Use a button and set width of the button equal to the width of the window. Using theming to set the button text alignment to center. A comparable solution, for aligning to the right, can be found here. https://github.com/hoffstadt/DearPyGui/issues/1111

I was using PyQt5/PySide which will give you a nice native look but I eventually shifted over to DearPyGui for most of my smaller utilities. Its just faster for me. You will get more options and freedom with PyQt/PySide though and can use QT Designer to design your interfaces pretty easily.
