[nish88]

Hi!! Actually,i am doing a simulation and i want a dot (small oval) to pop up when i click(by mouse) on the canvas.
can anyone please help me or if possible give me the piece of codes to perform this.
thanks in advance...

from Tkinter import *
import Tkinter
from Tkconstants import *
import random


frame=Tkinter.Frame()
frame.pack()



canvas =Tkinter.Canvas(frame,bg = 'white',width=200, height=400)
canvas.pack()



def generate():
for i in range(50):

x1=random.randrange(500)
y1=random.randrange(500)
x2=x1+5
y2= y1+5

canvas.create_oval(x1,y1,x2,y2,fill ="red")







button=Tkinter.Button(frame,fg="blue", text="GENERATE", activebackground='red',font=('verdana', 10, 'bold'),command=generate).pack(padx =50,side = LEFT)



root = Tkinter.Tk()


root.mainloop()

Hey,
Check out http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/, it has a bunch of info on canvas's and other widgets.

from Tkinter import *
import random
 
root = Tk()
frame = Frame(root)
frame.pack()
global c
c = Canvas(frame, width=200, height=200)
c.pack()
def generate(event):
  r1 = random.randint(1,200)
  r2 = random.randint(1,200)
  r3 = r1+5
  r4 = r2+5
  coords = r1,r2,r3,r4
  c.create_oval(coords, fill="red")
c.bind('<Button-1>', generate)
mainloop()
 

I made a few changes, and it works for me. (I'm running python 2.5 on XP)
