Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] (0,0) off the visible area of a Canvas
Message-ID: <7f23c0053bfc8ad5d780e9a80b43be06@billbarksdale.com>

I am sure this must be a common question but I couldn't find anything 
about it.

When I run the following on my system, the first line appears cut off 
and the second line doesn't appear at all.  I believe this is because 
(0,0) is not part of the visible area of a canvas, and that it starts 
instead at (3,3) or thereabouts.  How can I fix this?

import Tkinter as TK
root = TK.Tk()
canv = TK.Canvas(root,width=100,height=100,bg='red')
canv.pack()
canv.create_line(0,100,100,0)
canv.create_line(0,0,0,100)

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

I think the line is being hidden under the Canvases border, so you can try:

    canv.configure(bd=0, highlightthickness=0)

and if you need a decorative border pack the canvas into another Frame.

I hope this helps

stock answer:

    by default, the coordinate system is aligned with the widget's upper
    left corner, which means that things you draw will be covered by the
    inner border.

    to fix this, you can either set the border width to zero, add scrollbars
    to the widget (this fixes the coordinate system), or explicitly reset the
    coordinate system:

    w.xview_moveto(0)
    w.yview_moveto(0)

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] debian tkinter broken or tk problem (or what)?
Message-ID: <20050912190305.014b1be8.klappnase@web.de>

Hello,

I noticed that for some reason some Tkinter apps I wrote and successfully
used for a while seem to be broken when run on my newly installed debian
system (python-2.3.5 / tk-8.4.9).
The problem I noticed arises when I run a subprocess with popen2.Popen4()
and catch the output with tk.createfilehandler() ; sometimes this works without
problems, but sometimes after a while the gui freezes and in the process list
I can see the subprocess as "zombie".
Normally I would suspect my code to be buggy, but like I said, the same scripts
run fine on mandrake (python-2.3.3 / tk-8.4.5).

I just wondered if anyone has a clue, may the reason be the debian build or the
tk version ?

Best regards

Michael

Hello All:

I am having trouble getting the PyBWidgets plugged in correctly in a Windows XP environment.  It appears to be path-related, since the BWidget package can't be found.  The installation 'Read Me' indicates that I should 'package require'--what does this mean and how would I do this?

Hi Chris,

"package require .." is something like the tcl equivalent to python's "import ...".
However, you shouldn't have to bother with this, it's something the python module should do for you.
Did you run the setup.py, and if yes, where did it install the BWidgets ?
On my linux box they're in /usr/share/pybwidget , I'm not sure about windows, but I think somewhere in
your Tcl folder should work.

Regards

Michael

Thank you, Michael, for your reply.

I have tried running setup.py and receive the following error:

>python setup.py
usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]

error: no commands supplied

I guess I need to provide some additional commands, but I am not sure which commands I should provide.

Standard commands:
  build            build everything needed to install
  build_py         "build" pure Python modules (copy to build directory)
  build_ext        build C/C++ extensions (compile/link to build directory)
  build_clib       build C/C++ libraries used by Python extensions
  build_scripts    "build" scripts (copy and fixup #! line)
  clean            clean up output of 'build' command
  install          install everything from build directory
  install_lib      install all Python modules (extensions and pure Python)
  install_headers  install C/C++ header files
  install_scripts  install scripts (Python or otherwise)
  install_data     install data files
  sdist            create a source distribution (tarball, zip file, etc.)
  register         register the distribution with the Python package index
  bdist            create a built (binary) distribution
  bdist_dumb       create a "dumb" built distribution
  bdist_rpm        create an RPM distribution
  bdist_wininst    create an executable installer for MS Windows

given your subject line, "install" might be what you want.

Hello again,

another thing I noticed, on debian (unlike mandrake) tcl is build with thread support;
does anyone know if it is likely that my Tkinter trouble is caused by this?

I see what was happening here.  I was running 'setup.py --help-commands' and my text editor was just opening up the file.  I wasn't assuming the obvious, which was that I should have been entering 'python setup.py --help-commands'.  I have gone down the 'python setup.py install' route and everything is working great.

It's easy enough, using Menubutton and Menu, to make a menu pop up in 
response to the user clicking a button. I want to make a menu pop up 
when the user right-clicks on a canvas. This seems like a kind of common 
thing to want to do but nothing in Tkinter or PMW is popping off the 
page at me as a way to do this.

Am I just being really dense or is there no simple way to accomplish this?

I think you're looking for the tk_popup() method.  

    def tk_popup(self, x, y, entry=""):
        """Post the menu at position X,Y with entry ENTRY."""
        self.tk.call('tk_popup', self._w, x, y, entry)

Here's an example of its use:
from Tkinter import *

t = Tk()
t.option_add("*Menu.tearOff", "0")
m = Menu(t) 
m.insert_command(END, label="A ...")
m.insert_command(END, label="B ...")
m.insert_command(END, label="C ...")
m.insert_command(END, label="D ...")

c = Canvas(t)
c.bind("<ButtonPress-3><ButtonRelease-3>",
	lambda e: m.tk_popup(e.x_root, e.y_root))
c.pack()

t.mainloop()

Hello All:

I am trying to create a Tree, using PyBWidgets, but am unsure about how to actually create the initial parent and/or child nodes.  The documentation leads me to believe that I should use the' insert' command, but how?  The documentation indicates the following:

pathName insert index parent node ?option value...?

So, given my example below, if I want to add a node to my Tree, wouldn't I use the command TopTree.insert?  And, if so, I assume I start at index '0'?  OK, but now who's the parent?  I know this has to be simple, but I am just not figuring this one out.  Please share your thoughts.

Thank you!

Hi Chris,

I wrote a directory Tree widget a while ago, rather a test than a usable widget, but maybe good
enough to get started. I had some problems with my release of pybwidget, because some icons were missing,
I believe the "plus" and "minus" icons for the Tree, but I don't remember exactly.
So, here's the code:

############ file DirTree.py ##############################
import Tkinter as tk
import bwidget as bw
import os

class DirTree(tk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master, *args, **kw):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.tree = tree = bw.Tree(self, opencmd=self.open_folder, closecmd=self.close_folder, *args, **kw)
        tree.pack(fill='both', expand=1)
        
        self.folder_icon = tk.PhotoImage(file='/usr/share/pybwidget/images/folder.gif')
        self.openfolder_icon = tk.PhotoImage(file='/usr/share/pybwidget/images/openfold.gif')
        self.file_icon = tk.PhotoImage(file='/usr/share/pybwidget/images/file.gif')
        
        node = self.tree.insert('end', 'root', text='/', image=self.folder_icon, drawcross='allways', data='/')
        self.tree.opentree(node, recurse=0)
    
    def close_folder(self, node):
        self.tree.itemconfigure(node, image=self.folder_icon)
    
    def open_folder(self, node):
        path = self.tree.itemcget(node, 'data')
        children = os.listdir(path)
        files, dirs = [], []
        for item in children:
            if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(path, item)):
                dirs.append(item)
            #else:
            #    files.append(item)
        dirs.sort()
        #files.sort()
        for item in dirs:
            newpath = os.path.join(path, item)
            self.tree.insert('end', node, text=item, image=self.folder_icon, drawcross='allways', data=newpath)
        #for item in files:
        #    newpath = os.path.join(path, item)
         #   self.tree.insert('end', node, text=item, image=self.file_icon, drawcross='never', data=newpath)
        self.tree.itemconfigure(node, image=self.openfolder_icon)
        

def test():
    r = tk.Tk()
    t = DirTree(r, bg='white', selectbackground='blue4', selectforeground='white', deltax=18, deltay=18)
    t.pack(fill='both', expand=1)
    r.mainloop()

if __name__== '__main__':
    test()

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] pybwidget release 0.1.2
Message-ID: <20050915132226.GA2861@unpythonic.net>

pybwidget is a Python wrapper around the 'bwidget' family of widgets for
Tkinter.  It includes these classes:
    Entry Label Button ArrowButton ProgressBar ScrollView Separator
    MainFrame LabelFrame TitleFrame PanelFrame ScrolledWindow
    ScrollableFrame PanedWindow ButtonBox PagesManager NoteBook Dialog
    StatusBar LabelEntry ComboBox SpinBox Tree ListBox MessageDialog
    ProgressDialog PasswordDialog SelectFont SelectColor 

I know it's been a long time, but I've finally gotten around to making a
new release of pybwidget, called 0.1.2_1.7.0.

It has all the fixes I could find that have been mentioned in the
tkinter-discuss mailing list archives.  Compared to 0.1.1, here's a
summary of changes:
    * add ROOT as a module-level constant, as requested
    * bindtabs, bind_image, bind_text all handle the 'func' parameter
      properly
    * several instances of 'self.tl' corrected to 'self.tk'
    * the 'nodes' function of the Tree widget now passes all arguments
      to Tk
    * The xbm-format images are installed by setup.py
    * how to run setup.py is mentioned in README.html

This release is available at
    http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/bwidget

Please report your experiences, good or bad, on the Tkinter mailing list
    tkinter-discuss at python.org

Message-ID: <20050915135829.10697.qmail@web30311.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi,

I am repeating this question again. I was told that
there is a library available that allows you to create
non-rectangular windows in Python-Tkinter (like the
Windows Media Player). Can anyone please tell me if
there is any other library available or how to install
this.

I am trying to install tkdnd and its tkinter wrapper
available from these sites 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdnd

http://www.8ung.at/klappnase/TkinterDnD/TkinterDnD.html

I have placed the TkinterDnD.py in the lib-Tk folder
of Python. I have also unzipped and placed the
tkdnd-1.0a2 (contains the demo, lib, doc folders)
folder in  Tcl\lib folder. There are two dlls
available. They are: libtkdnd.dll and libtkdnd10.dll.
I am not to sure where to place them. 

Now when I type the following commands, I get the
error shown below:

>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> import TkinterDnD
>>> root = TkinterDnD.Tk()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "c:\Python23\lib\TkinterDnD.py", line 104, in
__init__
    self.tk.eval('package require tkdnd')
TclError: can't find package tkdnd

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Hi Sajjad,

the problem is here that Tk cannot find the tkdnd-dll's; I don't have a windows
box at hand, so `im not sure about the directory structure on windows.
On my linux box it looks like this:

The main tcl / tk libraries are in /usr/lib:

   /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so.0

etc. 

In the same directory there's a folder

    /usr/lib/tk8.4/

which contains Tk's .tcl files.

I put the tkdnd folder at the same level into 

    /usr/lib/tkdnd1.0/

so the tkdnd library sits at :

    /usr/lib/tkdnd1.0/libtkdnd1.0.so

Maybe your problem is that you just copied the whole package to your Tcl\lib folder
and now it looks like:

   ...Tcl\lib\tkdnd\lib\tkdnd\tkdnd.dll

If this is the case, try something like:

   ...Tcl\lib\tkdnd\tkdnd.dll

or

   ...Tcl\lib\tkdnd.dll

I'm sorry I cannot give you some better advice, but I hope this helps anyway.

Regards

Michael

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] BWidgets Tree
Message-ID: <410-2200595167117656@earthlink.net>

Hello Everyone.

I am working with the BWidgets tree, but am having difficulty understanding how Parent/Child node relationships are actually handled.  More specifically, I think that most people use Trees to REPRESENT hierarchies?...I would like to use the widget to CREATE them.  Having said this, the BWidget Tree looks like it is probably the best tree widget for this purpose. But,  like os.listdir is doing in Michael Lange's program, I  need to generate and cache lists reflecting the contents of each parent node.

Anyway, if you run the program I have included (you'll have to use other icons), I am (so far) able to generate Child-nodes.  Now, I want to be able to create 'GrandChildren' from whichever node has focus (need to add highlighting later).  I also want to keep track of each node's level in the hierarchy because the level of the node will determine which icons will be used, not its 'state' (ie. open or closed).  I think I should be able to do this just fine, once I can gain access to the Parent nodes' names and the Child index positions.  However, when I try to grab index positions, parent-names, etc., I am receiving errors because I am trying to grab data from the widget instances, rather than the widgets themselves.

If I seem excessively confused, I hope you'll forgive me.  It takes me a few nudges in the right direction before I start to catch on to things like this.

import Tkinter as tk
import bwidget as bw

class DirTree(tk.Frame):

 def __init__(self, master, *args, **kw):
  tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
  treeFrame = tk.Frame(master, height=200, width=200)
  treeFrame.pack(side=tk.TOP)
  self.tree = bw.Tree(treeFrame, opencmd=self.open_folder, closecmd=self.close_folder, *args, **kw)
  self.tree.pack(fill='both', expand=1)


  self.data_element_icon = tk.PhotoImage(file='C:\Documents and Settings\John Doe\Desktop\Test_Icon.gif')
  self.node = self.tree.insert('end', 'root', text='/', image=self.data_element_icon, drawcross='allways', data='/')
  self.tree.opentree(self.node, recurse=0)
  buttonFrame = tk.Frame(master, height=200, width=200)
  buttonFrame.pack(side=tk.BOTTOM)
  self.button = tk.Button(buttonFrame, text='Create child node', command=self.create_node, relief=tk.GROOVE)
  self.button.pack()
  
 def close_folder(self, node):
  self.tree.itemconfigure(node, image=self.data_element_icon)

 def open_folder(self, node):
  path = self.tree.opentree(node, recurse=1)

 def create_node(self):
  if self.button:
   self.tree.insert('end', self.node, text='Hello There', image=self.data_element_icon, drawcross='allways')

def test():
 r = tk.Tk()
 t = DirTree(r, bg='white', selectbackground='blue4', selectforeground='white', deltax=18, deltay=18)
 t.pack(fill='both', expand=1)
 r.mainloop()

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Some progress, some troubles with BWidget tree
Message-ID: <410-22005911916315500@earthlink.net>

Hello All:

I finally figured out what was wrong with my code before, with regard to creating new nodes (please see code below).  My difficulty now is understanding how to work with focus.

I am able to generate nodes and I am able to identify them by their position.  Now, I am trying to identify nodes that have focus.  But, perhaps my thinking is wrong?  Essentially, I am trying to identify the node(s) that the user has selected, so that only certain events can occur when those nodes are highlighted/selected/have focus - ?.  For example, if a parent is 'selected' or 'has focus', the end-user can create other parents AND/OR additional children, but if a child is 'selected' or 'has focus', only additional children can be created.  I have tried the 'focus' function in varying combinations, but I'm always returning 'None' or an instance-error.

Any suggestions here are quite welcome.  I am beginning to understand things a bit better now, but 'global'-? BWidget functions are not one of these things.


Thank you and Best Regards,

Chris Nethery

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] pop up menu down
Message-ID: <eca9745f05091921414bf1b61d@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
I have a pop up menu used to pop at right click, but the problem is it 
doesn't go away until I click on one of it's button. I want it to be 
disappeared or destroyed when I click anywhere else. Can anyone tell me what 
I am missing?

this might not be what you want, but you could include a menu-item  
"Close Menu" in your pop-up menu, which would destroy (close) the pop- 
up menu...

Strange on my box (fedora core 4) is doesn't stay poped up so if I
release mouse button 3 it disappears.  Perhaps it is a platorm issue?
my popup code is below:-


class PopupMenu:
     def __init__(self, parent):
         self.parent = parent
         self.menu=Menu(None,tearoff=0)

     def __call__(self, event):
         self.menu.tk_popup(event.x_root ,event.y_root)

     def add_separator(self):
         self.menu.add_separator()

     def add(self, text, command):
         self.menu.add_command(label=text, command=command)
     add_command = add




and when I use it :-


         fileMenu = PopupMenu(self)
         fileMenu.add_command("Create New File", command=self.createFile)
         self.fileList.body_bind("<3>", fileMenu)

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] winfo_width problem
Message-ID: <BAY12-F3089963D1A97205CCBEC968A8F0@phx.gbl>

Hi,
i am trying to use winfo_width to determine widget's size
and it always returns me 1 regardless of wheter widget is packed/gridded or 
not.

in native Tcl/Tk
winfo width .widget
works fine, i.e. returns actual width in pixels

direct tk call from python tk.call('winfo','width',widget._w) still returns 
1

i guess it points to some bug in tkinter  ......  what do you think?

Thanks.
Evgeny.

Try using "winfo_reqheight(), winfo_reqwidth()"

...

winfo_reqheight(), winfo_reqwidth(). Return the "natural" height (width) 
for self. The natural size is the minimal size needed to display the 
widget's contents, including padding, borders, etc. This size is 
calculated by the widget itself, based on the given options. The actual 
widget size is then determined by the widget's geometry manager, based 
on this value, the size of the widget's master, and the options given to 
the geometry manager.
