As a newby to PyGTK I already have produced some gui's I like,
but I have difficulties in finding out what method or other instrument
I need for doing various things.
I have not yet found the tutorial or otherwise that explains concepts
like setting (relative) sizes, setting or manipulating focus,
setting colors, etc.
Also when I think I need a method with a specific word it its name,
and I cannot find it, there are two (not necessarily exclusive)
possibilities:
- I have to go higher up the ancestry
- I look for the wrong word
Is there an other way than just going on and become familiar with it ?

Yes, I know them , and I am busy reading, using and digesting them,
not too much at a time, and they made possible what I have done so far.
Virtual beers for the authors.
But these texts are the core of my problem as well.
I need something that goes at right angles through them,
linking the related subjects, and giving an overall picture.
If you haven't allready done so, be sure the try out Glade, a GUI builder for (Py)GTK.
Glade is for later, when I am more comfortable with PyGTK.
Or am I too conservative ?

I agree that using Glade may be put off until you understand how things
would be done 'by hand'. But, when experimenting with GUI layouts, it is
useful to do the experimentation with Glade rather than by editing
scripts. Also, playing with Glade gives you a good idea of the widgets
available in the toolkit and how they should be composed.
If you have not already discovered it, check out pygtkconsole.py : http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo...n/Recipe/65109
It lets you build/manipulate GUIs from an interactive python prompt.

Unless you need to construct the interface
at run time (for e.g. creating arrays of buttons),
just let libglade create the interface for you.
You gain nothing by doing this drudgery yourself.

Hi,
I'm writing a fractal-generating program in a mixture of C and
Python. Python handles all the GUI parts using PyGTK. After finishing
the calculations, I have a buffer containing the RGB data of the
image. I can display this fine on screen using draw_rgb_image. Now I
need to save the image data into a file. gtk.gdk.Pixbuf.save() would
be ideal, but I'm stumped trying to create a Pixbuf from my image
data. In C,...

Hi all. Here is a tiny container for one of each combo box, along

I am experimenting (flailing around?) with glade and python. Both under MS
Windows and Linux.
I understand why I want to "import gtk"
It gives me access to the critical gui program loop
gtk.main() and main_quit()
I am also very grateful for
import gtk.glade
This lets me open my xml format glade file

I'm just starting out on Python but my primary goal is to provide
applications with some user interface (GUI).
Can someone point me to a good comparison of whether I should use
wxPython (with wxGlade I assume) or PyGTK (with Glade I assume)?
I'd prefer open source (not necessarily GPL though) tools.

hello,
I will be writing some code in PyGTK to run on linux. but I want to
know if there are any installers or distutils available for PyGTK on

I have heard that installing gimp or even pygtk is next to impossible
and is very tedious if at all one gets success.
can any one share their experiences with installing and running pygtk on windos?
any links for downloading proper packages will be highly appreciated.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
