Re: Python GUI for animation

Virgil Stokes wrote:
I have been using Python for a short time and I find it a very flexible
language, and easy to learn and use. I have also worked some with PyGame
and used it to create a simple animation that is controlled by the mouse
and keyboard. The animation is designed to move filled circles around on
the screen and is driven by a data file that defines (indirectly), the
next relative position of each circle. And for my purposes (queueing
demo in the classroom) this works quite well. However, I would now like
to create a Python GUI that would allow a user to control the animation,
via buttons, sliders, etc.

I am certainly not a Python expert and have never worked with the
creation of a GUI. I would appreciate greatly any advice from those who
have worked with Python GUIs as to the best way to proceed.
There have been discussions on the PyGame mailing lists about the merits
of different gui options for use specifically with pygame. There may be
something at the site, or archives there. News.gmane.org should also
have an archive for the gmane.comp.pyth on.pygame mirror.

Hi -- Some time ago I attended a course (run by Island Training I think) where the instructor used some 'written in python' to project a slideshow/presentation over a network onto multiple laptops simultaneously - so each attendee could follow the course. As I recall it included basic animation as well as the standard text bullet points. I've looked at the usual sources (freshmeat et al) and can't find anything like this, does this...

Hello, I am currently studying how to embedd python. I am developing a graphical C++ application. My goal is to embedd python script that will control some kind of animation. I have some questions about python embedding: 1) Is there a good text book or other resource on embedding/extending? (I find it hard to learn only by the tutorial and C/Python API from the python.org site)

Can anyone provide me with advice on how easy (or otherwise) it is to drive a Flash animation (stored locally but displaed in a browser) with a Python application. Basically information is getting streamed to a Python client and this is expected to update the Flash animation. It sounds odd, but it has to be done. Thanks, Rod

My application has a lot of complicated SQL statements, calculations, processing that takes time. I've created a custom form to act like a messagebox. It has 10 small rectangles on it that change color sequentially to let the user know that processing is occurring. This 'animation' occurs via the form timer event. However, I'm having trouble getting the animation to occur for all types of processing events. It appears that I have to...

Hi, I get the following: hvr@LINUXBOXMicrocorp:~/Controller/libpython display.py UpdateStringProc should not be invoked for type font Aborted and I am back at the bash prompt - this is most frustrating, as there is no friendly traceback to help me guess where its coming from.

Most applications, including Windows Explorer, show some sort of 'wait' dialog with animation when a lengthy operation is going on. For example, When the Windows Explorer is searching for something, it shows a small dialog with a moving flashlight. I examined the explorer.exe and found that that was an avi file. Now that, I would like to do similar thing in my C# application. But what is the most efficient way to do so? 1)Manually...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...
