I've redirected follow-ups back there, on the as- sumption that's your intention. I don't know what more to say; when I run applications with Frame.__init__(self, master, background = "black") I see a black background, not a TypeError. Perhaps someone else recognizes what's going on.

Axis modification
by Colin Wildsmith Feb. 22, 2006

Feb. 22, 2006

Hello all, I am trying to modify the Axis gui for EMC2 and am having trouble calling commands from within the 'axis.py' file. I have modified the history widget to a small text editor and have created some extra button widgets which I want to use to access the text editor. Here is a snippet of my code which is in 'axis.py', where I think the root of my problem lies, hopefully this snippet will outline the issue that im having beyond my explanation: class TclCommands(nf.TclCommands): .... def edit_file(event=None): root_window.command = pane_top + ".tabs raise mdi" def new_file(event=None): widgets.mdi_history.delete(1.0, END) root_window.command = pane_top + ".tabs raise mdi" I have a 2 button widgets defined in 'axis.tcl' which have command options calling the above functions, I also have short cut keys which call these functions: root_window.bind("<Control-e>", commands.edit_file) root_window.bind("<Control-n>", commands.new_file) When I press the button or use the shortcut key, the mdi tab does not raise and I do not get any error message in the terminal. Only text saying: emcTaskIssueCommand() I know I can use the command options to raise the tab directly and also use 'bind' to link the shortcut key to (pane_top + ".tabs raise mdi"), however this limits me to one command and as you can see in the new_file function that I would like to use two commands. Regards Colin

Look of the Tk apps in Debian Linux
by Jakub Sporek Feb. 17, 2006

Feb. 17, 2006

Hi, I'm on Debian Linux and I'd like to know where can I centrally change the font and maybe the whole look if it's possible of Tk applications. I run some applications that uses Tk (IDLE - The Python IDE for example) and they all looks the same, so I think that this should change centrally somewhere. Please give me some advices.

My (small) program crashes on windows and linux. Why?
by Chris Niekel Feb. 16, 2006

Feb. 16, 2006

Hi, I was playing with tkinter, at the same time enjoying the olympics. I thought I'd try to create a program for keeping scores of the speed-skating. However, under windows I got into a crash, with the helpful "Send crash-report". I tried to change this into a smaller program that still crashes, but whatever I change, it stops crashing. Under linux it also coredumps, but then when you close the window. Since it's python, and crashes shouldn't happen, I thought I'd attach the whole program (it's 82 lines). The strange thing is, if the 'SkateWindow' is started with a distance < 10000, it runs allright. With 10km, the window is wider than my screen, but changing line 29 self.distances = range(start,distance+1, 400) into self.distances = range(start,distance+1, 800) reduces the number of columns, but not the crash. Any ideas? Regards, Chris Niekel -- I've been down so long, if I'd cheer up, I'd still be depressed. - Lisa Simpson, Moanin' Lisa Blues.

Radiobutton
by Martin Weisel Feb. 13, 2006

Feb. 13, 2006

Hi Doug, >Your example works for me. I'm on Linux, Python 2.4.1, FC4 This example works fine for python, but unfortunately it's not working in PyMOL. >I don't usually use globals; maybe you have another global somewhere >colliding with the one that you are using? There is definitely no colliding of variables - this prog does not work when used as the only code. >from Tkinter import * >root = Tk() > >def radio1(): > global tmp > tmp = IntVar() > Yes = Radiobutton(root, text = 'yes', value = 1 , variable = tmp) > Yes.pack(side = LEFT) > Yes.select() #set Yes initially > No = Radiobutton(root, text = 'no', value = 2 , variable = >tmp).pack(side = >LEFT) >radio1() >root.mainloop() I think it must be a PyMOL specific problem. For some reason the .get() method is unable to get the actual value of the Radiobutton. The strange thing is that the Label has no problems in displaying the actual value of tmp. I'm wondering if there's a way to read out 'textvariable' of the Label!? >Label(root, textvariable = tmp).pack(side = LEFT) Regards, Martin -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen?

Missing wrappers for tile and tablelist
by Kevin Walzer Feb. 11, 2006

Feb. 11, 2006

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I believe Martin Franklin wrote a Tile.py wrapper for the Tk/Tile extension, which adds theming to the core Tk widget set. It used to reside here: http://mfranklin.is-a-geek.org/docs/Tile/index.html That server seems to be down. Anyone know if the wrapper is available elsewhere? Or if someone else has written a Tile wrapper? There was also a wrapper for the tablelist Tk package at this site as well... - -- Kevin Walzer iReveal: File Search Tool http://www.wordtech-software.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD7ap+JmdQs+6YVcoRAh/yAJ4t5dIYqSyse6xjHjm2BpYZME6fzwCeLbSh tVLK85mkjQXdoPXO0u6NrpQ= =gxv3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Radiobutton
by Martin Weisel Feb. 11, 2006

Feb. 11, 2006

Hi everybody. I'm currently trying to create a popup-GUI for PyMOL with Tkinter. It's supposed to be of the form: ############################################################################ ############ from Tkinter import * root = Tk() def radio1(): global tmp tmp = IntVar() Yes = Radiobutton(root, text = 'yes', value = 1 , variable = tmp) Yes.pack(side = LEFT) Yes.select() #set Yes initially No = Radiobutton(root, text = 'no', value = 2 , variable = tmp).pack(side = LEFT) radio1() root.mainloop() ############################################################################ ############ My problem is, that I cannot read out the actual value of tmp with tmp.get() --> it is always returning 0. Although displaying the actual value of tmp as a dynamic label on the GUI works very well: Label(root, textvariable = tmp).pack(side = LEFT) Any help would be appreciated.
