SegmentedButton Properties​

allow_empty_selection​

A boolean value that indicates if having no selected segments is allowed.

If True, then it is acceptable for none of the segments to be selected and also that selected can be empty.

If False (the default), there must be at least one segment selected. If the user taps on the only selected segment it will not be deselected, and on_change will not be called.

allow_multiple_selection​

A boolean value that indicates if multiple segments can be selected at one time.

If True, more than one segment can be selected. When selecting a segment, the other selected segments will stay selected. Selecting an already selected segment will unselect it.
