Take a look in SVN, in the Demos dir, for the GroupDemo.py. Hopefully that is a enough to get you going. On the other hand, if you are build a desktop GIS-like application, there are some other options: FloatCanvas2 may be a better bet -- see the archives of this list for discussion -- it's still missing some key features, but the architecture is more sophisticated, so it may be a better fit for your use. I'd take a look at Thuban, it's written in wxPython -- it hasn't seen much development for a while, but I think it's picking up again. In house, we are building a new mapping application framework -- it's not clear if the API will follow FloatCanvas, FloatCanvas2, or something new, but once it's it place (in a few months), it should be good for building the kind of app you're taking about. QGIS is written in C++ and Qt, but it has some pretty full featured Python bindings -- I think you can build a pretty good custom GIS app with it in pure Python at this point. Which of these is most appropriate depends on what you need to do, and when you need to get it working. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ FloatCanvas mailing list [email protected] http://paulmcnett.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/floatcanvas
