I've never found a GUI-builder to be useful, but others sure have. IN any case, tough, it probably is useful to do a bit by hand as a learning exercise when starting out. > Are you still developing FloatCanvas? not much -- but I'm trying to keep it working anyway. > I was surprised to find that > wxWidgets didn't have something like FloatCanvas as part of its default > set. Me too -- which is indeed why I wrote it. In fact, I'm still surprised by how little GUI libs have a build in object persistent canvas that lets you works in arbitrary coordinates -- it sure seems like the natural way to draw stuff to me. Keep the questions coming -- we'll probably be more helpful if they are FloatCanvas specific. The wxPython-users list is very friendly to newbies, too, if you haven't discovered it yet. one more note: be sure to check out the "demos" in SVN -- there are a lot of self contained examples of stuff you can do with FloatCanvas in there. -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
