Some time ago I wrote a little program in Tcl/Tk that took the values
from 3 sliders and performed a calculation using these values. The
calculation was of course automatically repeated each time a slider was
moved.
It is proving most difficult in Python. How do I pass the .get() values
to my calculating function? Do I use the command option for each
slider? e.g command = Calc(a.get()). Obviously not cos it doesn't work.
I am not a real programmer and do not wish to get involved in classes
and objects.... 7 4211

It should work if you wrap it as a lambda function. As it is, you're
assigning the
result of the Calc() function to the 'command' argument/parameter of the
slider widget. What you actually want is to assign just the function:
command = lambda : Calc(a.get())
I am not a real programmer and do not wish to get involved in classes and objects....
If you're using Tcl/Tk you're already using them ... what do you think
your Slider widget is? :-)
Hope this helps!

Thanks,
I get the following message when I use lambda as above:
TypeError: <lambda>() takes no arguments (1 given)
any other thoughts :)

Oops, forgot! The Scale widget outputs a single argument - the value of
the slider. You therefore could write:
command = lambda value : Calc(value)
or even simpler:
command = Calc
In the latter case, you're supplying your "calc" function as the function
to be called. Calc takes a single argument - the value of the slider, so
it fulfills the task. Note that we're passing "Calc" (the function
itself), not "Calc(...)" (the result of calling the function)

Ahhhh. Partial success with : command = Calc. A slider will now pass its
argument to a function without problem. My Calc function however is
expecting 3 arguments - 1 from each slider i.e moving any of the 3
sliders should cause a recalculation. I am now getting the following error:
TypeError: Calc() takes exactly 3 arguments (1 given)
p.s your help is much appreciated....

I'm sure you can figure this out now! Either:
use lambda functions, as described, to call Calc with the correct
arguments
or:
write three functions (one for each slider) that call Calc with all 3
arguments it requires

Have already started on the 2nd aproach. I might become a programmer
yet............ ...
Problem solved. use 'command = Calc' to call my Calc function but ignore
the argument passed to it. Create a list with the following elements -
a.get(), b.get() and c.get(). Every time a scale slider is moved, Calc
will retrieve the current scale values and I can do with them whatever I
want...
Now to work out how to write the answer to a text box or similar.......
Thanks for your help, Matt

Hi
I'm trying to make a zooming in/out slider, but I want to make it
re-center when I let go of the mouse button on it -- i.e. it starts
with a value of 1 (in the center of the slider), then the user can drag
it to the right or left, while it does UPDATE_CONTINUOUS, but when the
user lets go, I want it to go back to 1 (its center value) again.
So, basically, my question is: Is it possible to make a scale widget
