from pyzed import ui

pz.column([
    ui.facepile(["Ana", "Luis", "Kev", "Marta"]),

About these captures

Each capture is recorded by pyzed itself, off-screen at 2x, in One Dark or One Light to match this site’s theme, and cropped to the component so it shows at its real size. The pointer hovers, presses or types into it; a component that does not react to the pointer cycles through a few themes. With reduced motion you see the first frame. Open Code under a capture to see the snippet that draws it; free names such as on_save stand for your own callbacks.

Events

Facepile has no events of its own: it shows what you give it. Like every widget it also has the 18 common events (click, double_click, right_click, mouse_enter, drag, key_down, resize…), attached with .on(...): see Events and Events of every component.
