Good. I've been trying to convert some of the Tix examples in the Tcl/Tk
in a Ntshell O'Reilly book to Tkinter/Tix.
The Tcl version works fine but the Python version gives an error although
it does display but without any grid/border formatting. The error I get is:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1402, in __call__
return self.func(*args)
File "tixgrid-test.py", line 10, in simpleFormat
grd.format('grid', x1,y1,x2,y2, anchor='se', fill=0, relief='raised',
File "/usr/lib/python3.2/tkinter/tix.py", line 341, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError(name)
AttributeError: format
The code is pretty much a straight translation of the Tcl from the book.:
import tkinter.tix as tix
top = tix.Tk()
def simpleFormat(area, x1, y1, x2, y2):
print(area,x1,y1,x2,y2) # see debug output below...
if area == 'main':
grd.format('grid', x1,y1,x2,y2, anchor='se', fill=0, relief='raised',
bd=1, bordercolor='gray20')
elif area in ["x-margin", "y-margin", "s-margin"]:
grd.format('border', x1,y1,x2,y2, fill=0, relief='raised',
bd=1, bordercolor='gray65')
grd = tix.Grid(top, height=10, width=10)
grd.config(formatcmd=simpleFormat)
for x in range(10):
grd.size_column(x, size='auto')
for y in range(10):
grd.set(x,y, itemtype='text', text="({},{})".format(x,y))
grd.size_column(0,size='10char')
grd.pack(expand=True, fill='both')
top.mainloop()
The print() debug output looks like:
y-margin 0 1 0 9
s-margin 0 0 0 0
main 1 1 9 9
and so on.
It looks as if the format command is not recognised. I notice the docs
say it should only be called from the formatcmd function but that's
what I'm doing...
Any pointers appreciated. And if anyone knows a decent book or
web site for Python Tix that would also be much appreciated.
I can get most things to work in Tix but the Grid has me beat
so far.
