Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] ANN: WCK for Tkinter 1.1 final (december 11, 2005)
Message-ID: <dngr6a$cto$1@sea.gmane.org>

The Widget Construction Kit (WCK) is an extension API that allows
you to implement custom widgets in pure Python.  The WCK can be
(and is being) used for everything from light-weight display widgets
to full-blown editor frameworks.

The Tkinter3000 implementation of the WCK supports all recent
versions of Python and Tk/Tkinter.

Compared to 1.0, the 1.1 release adds improved controller support,
resource caching for pens, brushes, and fonts, and support for
creating image objects from data in strings.

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Is it possible to flatten a Canvas and an Image?
Message-ID: <1043.201.141.31.140.1134615212.squirrel@mail.computo-industrial.com.m

Hi, I'm new to the list and just writing my second application in
python/Tkinter. I have skimmed over the digests of the list but have not
found this subject discussed.

I have a Canvas and a PhotoImage displayed in it. The application draws a
number of lines and other vector-features over the image, which works
fine. Now, if I save the image, it is exactly that which is saved: the
image. What about the vectors? Is there a way to 'flatten' the two layers
that are there?
If not, how would you suggest I could save the vectors over the image as a
single image - short of retracing them with my own line-drawing routine on
the image?

Thanks,
Gerardo

I never tried it, but I believe the canvases postscript() method should do what you want,
you would just have to convert its output file back into a gif or something.

Hi Mohammad,

a brief comparison from my own experience:

Tix:
pros:
 - very handy interface
 - has some nice widgets that Pmw misses, like progress bar and tree widget
 - looks nicer than Pmw (if that matters)
 - may perform better than Pmw (if that matters)
cons:
 - no Python documentation, only unix man pages
 - some linux distributions used to ship broken Tix versions, so if your programs are supposed to run on any platform
   stability might be an issue

Pmw:
 - the interface looked a little alien to me at a first glance, however:
 - very flexible, you can easily set up your own megawidgets
 - excellent documentation
 - excellent backwards compatibility and compatibility with any versions of Python and Tk
 - unbeatable stability

pybwidget:
 - as far as I know it's very stable on the tcl side, however the python module is not much tested, so it might contain bugs
 - no python docs, only unix man pages

So my (very personal) conclusion:

If you need to focus on reliability (and want good docs) stick with Pmw, if you need some widget that is missing from Pmw,
try to pick it from bwidget.
If look and feel (and maybe performance) is an issue (or of course if the others don't have the widget you need) try Tix.
If you want to pick the best widgets you can get, it should be no problem to use all three at a time, and use the
widget from the library that you like the most ( for example the Pmw.EntryField is hard to beat, but you may also want
to use the Tix.DirTree and the bwidget.ListBox).

I hope this helps

Michael
