the actual width and height is set by an idle task when the widget
is prepared for drawing.  idle tasks are executed by the event loop,
so you will usually have to call "update_idletasks" or "update" before
querying the size (event handlers are one exception to that rule).

reqwidth/reqheight is often a good alternative (see Gustavo's reply).

it's the way things work under Tkinter.  if you want Tkinter to process
events, you have to give it a chance to do that.

The tkinter wiki is down at the moment.  I attempted to migrate it to
moinmoin 1.3.5 without understanding the consequences.  I hope to have it fixed
soon, probably by downgrading the moinmoin version.

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Python Tk Bwidget Tree problem with drag and drop
Message-ID: <d4a3be2c0510050715k4371f04w@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I'm working at a Tk Python gui with a Bwidget tree.

Here is the code for the creation of the tree :

self.tree = bw.Tree(self,
bg='lightblue3',
opencmd=self.open_folder,
closecmd=self.close_folder,
selectbackground='indianred3',
selectforeground='white',
deltax=10,
deltay=23,
dropenabled=1,
dragenabled=1,
dropovermode='n',
crossfill='red4',
dropcmd=self.drop,
dragendcmd=self.drag,
*args, **kw)

the problem is that when i use the dropcmd, self.drop is called with the
target node as argument with other stuff, but nothing is passed about the
source node. And when I use the dragendcmd, source and target "pathnames"
are passed, but I can't do anything with it. When I print these pathnames I
get :

.11072656.11073776


Can anyone help me out ?

Thanks

Olivier

Olivier, I haven't used that widget, so this may be of little help, but it
looks like you are referering an object name rather than one of its
attributes.

I haven't used bwidget drag and drop myself.

You can get the widget object for a string path by using bwidget.nametowidget
but I had trouble with this since often the name of an internal widget, such as 
(in my case) '.1077785676.c', is returned.  Perhaps by chopping off parts until
a recognized widget is found will work.

Here's a small program I just wrote which demonstrates drag&drop between two
ListBox (not Tree) widgets.

from Tkinter import *
from bwidget import *
import bwidget

def nametowidget(name):
    while name:
        try:
            return bwidget.nametowidget(app, name)
        except KeyError:
            i = name.rindex('.')
            name = name[:i]

def draginit(a, b, c): return ('LISTBOX_ITEM', 'move', b)   

def do_drop(src, dest, where, op, kind, data):
    src = nametowidget(src)
    dest = nametowidget(dest)
    src.insert(END, text=dest.itemcget(data, "text"))

def do_drag(src, dest, op, kind, data, result):
    if result:
        src = nametowidget(src)
        src.delete(data)
    
common_args = {'dropcmd': do_drop, 'dragendcmd': do_drag, 'dragenabled': 1,
    'dropenabled': 1, 'dropovermode': 'w'} 

app = Tk()

t = ListBox(app, **common_args)
t.pack(side=LEFT)
for text in "abcde":
    t.insert(END, text=text*3)
    
u = ListBox(app, **common_args)
u.pack(side=LEFT)
for text in "12345":
    u.insert(END, text=text*3)
    
app.mainloop()

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] pybwidget dialog bug
Message-ID: <20051010220734.684453e7.klappnase@web.de>

Hello all,

I found a bug in some of pybwidget's dialog classes.
The affected classes are MessageDialog, PasswordDialog, SelectFont and SelectColor;
it seems like there is no way to get the result the dialog box returns.

The problem is the call to Tkinter.Widget.__init__() , which itself calls
Tkinter.BaseWidget.__init__(), where the result of self.tk.call() gets lost.

I tried to avoid this by creating a separate constructor class for these dialogs
where self.tk.call() is called by a separate show() method, which allows to catch the
return value (see the code below).
It's probably not perfect, but as far as I have tried, it seems to work.

However, the resulting syntax looked a little weird to me, so I added shortcut functions
that turn e.g
    
        dialog = SelectFont(master)
        newfont = dialog.show()
resp.:
        newfont = SelectFont(master).show()

into

        newfont = selectfont(master)
.

BTW, the SelectColorMenu() function doesn't seem to work either, however if
I haven't missed something, it is the same as SelectColor(master, type='popup'),
so I'm not sure if it is necessary at all.

Regards

Michael

Message-ID: <diuetq$5t3$1@sea.gmane.org>

(new, improved, and with the correct date in the subject line!)

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.

The 1.1 beta 1 release adds improved controller support, resource
caching for pens, brushes, and fonts, and support for creating image
objects from data in strings.

Mohammad, have you tried Notepad?  It's free!  :-)

Most of us that work with Tkinter do actually use a text editor for
our GUI interface design.

But when you are just starting out it might be nice to use a graphical
designer.  I don't know of any that are permanently free, but here's
an idea.  ActiveState's Komodo Pro editor does include a Tkinter
designer, and you can try the product free for 30 days.  That might be
long enough to get you past the steep part of the learning curve.  And
you might find that Komodo is a good enough editor to be worth the $$.
  I sure enjoy using it myself.

cheers

I just released a new aggdraw alpha that makes drawing antialiased

	fails
Message-ID: <20051026191516.78577.qmail@web52504.mail.yahoo.com>


  Hi,

  I am having a hard time with Tkinter module of
Python (v.2.4.2). I followed the advice from a Python
help site ("Step 1 - can _tkinter be imported? Try
import _tkinter from a Python prompt) and indeed I
cannot. So it turns out that my installation of Python
(the default built into FC4) did not install Tcl/Tk
module correctly. I have tried to do it manually,
using the latest Python (v.2.4.2) and the latest
downloads of Tcl/Tk (v.8.4), but no matter what I do I
can't succeed. If I let the Python installation do the
automatic detection of Modules, it fails to install
tcl . If I edit the /Modules/Setup file, it still
fails. This time is says that:
----------
./python: error while loading shared libraries:
libtk8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
make: *** [sharedmods] Error 127
----------

These is where everything is installed:

$ whereis tcl
tcl: /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4 /usr/share/tcl8.4
$ whereis tk
tk: /usr/local/lib/tk8.4
$ ls /usr/local/include
tclDecls.h  tcl.h  tclPlatDecls.h  tkDecls.h  tk.h

And this is a snippet of /Modules/Setup:

  What on earth am I doing wrong? And why doesn't the
default installation of Python that comes with FC4
come with Tcl/Tk installed, as advertised?

  I am running linux on a new Fedora (FC4)
installation.

  Thanks for any help,
  -ALex

This is because /usr/local/lib isn't in the dynamic linker's path.  One easy
way to put it there is putting 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib' in your
environment.

tkinter is packaged as part of fedora but seems not to be installed by default.
"yum install tkinter" should do the trick.

  Thank you. That worked.

I Tkinter on Linux supposed to use antialiasing when rendering TrueType
fonts at larger sizes?  I'm using Gnome with Ubuntu.

Thanks

short answer: no.  Tk uses "core" X font rendering, which is not antialiased.

longer answer: the CVS version of Tk, which will become tk8.5, has support for
antialiased fonts on X.  However, the CVS versions of Tcl and Tk were a bit too
experimental for general use the last time I looked at them. (in fact, a new
multiple-precision math library had just been added to tcl, and I couldn't even
get it to build---that was sometime this past summer)

it's possible to use True Fonts in Tkinter by placing a PIL image on  a  
Tkinter  canvas.  Another option is using Frederik Lundh's WCK Toolkit, 
which works very well for me.
