True that, i might be doomed if there are no class name suggestions/auto completion since i don't know the path of most classes

What units does layoutV/HStretch take btw?

Looks like some sort of coordinate

[eager beacon]

in the row stretch there are 3 entries because there are 3 rows and they all start at 0. The numbers are the ratio of how much to increase the size of a row/col

you can see that the bottom row is set to 0 in the screenshot, thus it is the smallest, then the next smallest is the first row, which has the value 1

its the same for the columns

I'm not sure how it decides exactly how much to increase the size, its not a perfect 1:1 as far as I can tell

but Qt has really good docs which you should look at when you start with your app

[green stump]

oh hm, so changing the layout row stretch changes the height of rows and the column changes the width, and the numbers are their size/ratio all combined?

will take a look as well

[eager beacon]

yeah, pretty much.

The C++ docs are the better choice when you're just looking for documentation on how/why something works the way it does

[green stump]

Ah okay

thank you

[green stump]

https://gyazo.com/3f725e7178626e354f5de4d1c4667edf Any idea how I can remove the bottom right box? Haven't been able to squash it with stretch

[eager beacon]

No you won't be able to do that..layouts need to be a rectangle.

[green stump]

aw okay! I think i might be able to do this with 2 grid layouts then

[eager beacon]

You can have a layout directly inside of another layout if that helps

[zealous abyss]

is there any way to get the size of the terminal, including after a resize?

for example, os.get_terminal_size() returns the initial size even after adjusting the size of the terminal

[reef solstice]

curses has getmaxyx

screen = curses.initscr()
term_y = (screen.getmaxyx())[0]
term_x = (screen.getmaxyx())[1]

[zealous abyss]

that doesn't seem to account for resizing unless im missing something

[reef solstice]

i think you'd need something like screen.refresh()

to account for it

[zealous abyss]

like resize -> refresh -> getmaxyx?

[reef solstice]

yeah

the trigger could be just about anything

[zealous abyss]

my program should be doing that though

[reef solstice]

i don't know your programme so i cannot say

i worked with curses extensively during code jam and that is how I did it

[zealous abyss]

since I refresh the screen every tenth of a second or so

this is the key area:

def play(self):
        while True:
            time.sleep(1 / self.fps)

            print(size.get_terminal_size())
            print(self.win.getmaxyx())

            frame = self.get_frame()
            self.handle_move(frame)
            self.draw(frame)

            self.win.refresh()
            if keyboard.is_pressed("q"):
                curses.endwin()
                break

sorry about the indenting

(size.get_terminal_size() works to get the terminal size, but only when curses was not enabled)

[glossy temple]

does anyone know if there's an equivalent to the tkinter place() method in QT specifically pyside?

[blazing pine]

it might help if you explained what place() does; I know Qt decently well, but don't know Tkinter at all.

[glossy temple]

its a method for placing widgets in a window. it takes in an x and y int and places the widget at those coordinates

[blazing pine]

oh; not sure if there is something to place a widget at a specific x, y coordinate... you might be able to do something like that with the GraphicsView framework, but you would have to put a QGraphicsItem of some-kind, not just any generic widget.

[glossy temple]

ok ill look into that thank you

[eager beacon]

You might be able to do what you want with QWidget.move(x,y). though it sounds like you may benefit from learning about how the box layouts work in Qt

[wanton ermine]

Like, this has less to do with code and more to do with coding practices. So, I'm trying to start working with Kivy. Kivy is... a lot. And I'm wondering if it would be worth it to, instead of trying to hunt down the info as to how to initialize something myself, I transcribe it and like learn from there. Like. Not copy pasting massive blocs of code or anything, but not having to write 150 lines of code from scratch just to get a custom box to open up. TBH, kivy is pretty intimidating in and of itself as well, but this is more of the issue I'm having rn

I've also been considering using KivyMD as well to try and simplify things

[digital rose]

Is anyone familiar with the python rich library?

I created a nice table but would like to add a prompt inside the table. I don't think it's possible?

[mellow meadow]

Hey does anybody know how to make the this nav bar transparent?

[round linden]

To use Windows 7 Areo Theme

[mellow meadow]

wut

I meant using QT

For the background you can use window.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_TranslucentBackground, True) but was wondering if you could use it for the navbar

[plush stream]

Not really

The native titlebar could not be customised or modified from qt. If you want to customise your titlebar then you have to make your own custom-titlebar

[eager viper]

So, I've had a pretty low opinion of python's various graphics libraries

But I have to ask

Is there a library that can offer actually attractive, modern graphics for python?

One that is also not a pain in the ass to use?

[eager beacon]

Pyside2 or pyqt

They both use the Qt framework

[rocky dragon]

tkinter can be themed to look nice, Qt (I'd recommend pyside6 for Qt6) is a bit larger and offers more out of the box with its styling, then there are libs like kivy based on opengl that pvoide a bit lower level interface with only basic widgets but you should be able to do pretty much anything

or run a local site for it

I believe there are some libs for electron but I haven't used them

[brazen thicket]

There's actually very little boilerplate in kivy, I don't see why you wouldn't start a project from scratch.
This course is really good to get started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8Imtec4ReQ

[wanton ermine]

Good point. I've also been experimenting a bit with KivyMD which legit speeds things up considerably

TBH a 5 hour long video just isn't something I can genuinely motivate myself to sit through (thank you adhd) but I appreciate you giving me that resource

[green stump]

Where do I find Qt::MatchExactly for PyQt5?

[blazing pine]

from PyQt5 import QtCore

flag = QtCore.Qt.MatchExactly

?

for PyQt6, the enum's need the full namespace; which should work w/ PyQt5, you can likely access it via QtCore.Qt.MatchFlag.MatchExactly

[green stump]

I'm on pyqt5 but this happens to be the case

thanks!

[blazing pine]

the full namespace bit is backwards compatible to PySide2/PyQt5, but it's required for PyQt6 so if you think you may ever switch Qt bindings, I would recommend using the full-namespace version at every opportunity; for more examples, you can see what we did w/ pyqtgraph here: https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph/pull/1818

(I should note, with this method, we did miss a few of the enums, I think we got the last one with a fairly recent PR)

[green stump]

Ah okay thank you

Also what's the difference between PySide and PyQt?

[simple jacinth]

Can someone give me some assistance with PySimpleGui?

[blazing pine]

they're two competing libraries that aim to do the same thing, provide python bindings to the qt framework. Functionally they are effective identical. There are some very subtle differences, between the two, but when first starting out, you generally don't need to be too concerned about them.

[green stump]

oh golly, i see

I usually use QtDesigner and it defaults to pyside2 so i always replace it

[blazing pine]

The biggest difference I guess is some of the namespace stuff; some modules (like QSignal) is named slightly differently between the two; a popular way of dealing with this is using "abstraction layer" libraries, such as QtPy or AnyQt. With those libraries instead of doing ...

from PyQt5 import QtCore

you would instead

from QtPy import QtCore

this has the benefit of you being able to frequently switch between the two libraries should you have a need to do so.

If you are using QtDesigner, and it's defaulting to PySide2, you are likely using the QtDesigner that is bundled with PySide2 when you installed the library; if you installed PyQt5 I would imagine it would do the same going the other way...but I don't use QtDesigner so don't take my word for it.

the biggest difference to most people between the two libraries is the license; PyQt5/6 is GPLv3 and PySide2/6 is LGPL (considered a slightly more permissive license)

In my personal experience, I've found PyQt5/6 to be a bit more sensitive to doing stuff "correctly", but I've found with the GraphicsView framework PyQt5 has significantly outperformed PySide2; with PyQt6/PySide6 the difference is less noticable.

if you're just starting out, I would just pick one, knowing it doesn't really matter which; I frequently use both, they're both great

[green stump]

thank you for the insights jack

[brazen thicket]

Post your code and question in one of the help channels

[polar wave]

Hi, I want to move this red frame when i click on it and then drag it, but it doesn't seem to be in the right place.

from tkinter import *

app = Tk()

frame = Frame(bg="red", width=50, height=20)
frame.place(x=0, y=0)

def test(e):
    frame.place_forget()
    frame.place(x=e.x_root, y=10)

frame.bind("<B1-Motion>", test)

app.geometry('700x700')
app.mainloop()

It's about 100 pixels off based on my testing

How can I put the frame in the correct position?

[mighty rock]

use frame.winfo_x() + e.x instead

[proven basin]

[tawdry mulch]

Why are you using place_forget if you are going to place it right after that

[polar wave]

oh... it's not needed?

[tawdry mulch]

Yea try it out

[tawdry mulch]

@polar wave also try this out

[polar wave]

wait.... thank you so! I didn't know you don't need it.

[polar wave]

yeah also tried it out... Thanks Roie!

it worked

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmm thinking about it again, it seems a foolish choice. Does it work?🤔 I think it is better to use place_configure, if there is something like that

[polar wave]

yeah it does the same thing

[polar wave]

Hi! Another question. When the frame is dragged, the top left corner will always be where the cursor is. How do i make it so that for example the initial position of the frame relative to the widget is (5, 5), the frame will be offset by 5 pixels to the left and top when dragged?

from tkinter import *

app = Tk()

frame = Frame(bg="red", width=50, height=20)
frame.place(x=0, y=10)

def test(e):
    frame.place_configure(x=frame.winfo_x() + e.x, y=10)

frame.bind("<B1-Motion>", test)

app.geometry('700x700')
app.mainloop()

[tawdry mulch]

IDK what you mean, but add 5?

[polar wave]

so i am replicating reordering tabs in chrome or servers in discord, i want the frame to move with the cursor when i drag it, and the cursor should be in the same place relative to the frame as it was when you clicked left click

[tawdry mulch]

Basically you need to get the coordinates at the time of the click and then add/subtract that from the drag

[polar wave]

yes

[tawdry mulch]

yes?

[polar wave]

ye... like get the coordinates relative to the frame and then subtract it from the place() x axis

[tawdry mulch]

I mean did you get the code to do it?

[polar wave]

afaik e.x is the x coordinate relative to the frame, but I don't know how to implement it

[tawdry mulch]

Something like this might work for you:

[tawdry mulch]

from tkinter import *

app = Tk()
app.geometry('700x700')

frame = Frame(bg="red", width=50, height=20)
frame.place(x=0, y=10)

def get_coords(e):
    global offsetx
    offsetx = e.widget.winfo_rootx() + e.x

def test(e):
    x = e.widget.winfo_pointerx() - offsetx
    frame.place_configure(x=x, y=10)

frame.bind("<B1-Motion>", test)
frame.bind("<Button-1>", get_coords)

app.mainloop()

[polar wave]

oooh it the thing i needed! thank you so much!

wait

it goes back to the leftmost corner when i put it back again

like... i dragged it for the first time then it works, but when i drag it again the frame seems to go back to the left @tawdry mulch

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmm I see. The problem is because it is a frame inside a window

I took the calc from a proj for dragging windows

[polar wave]

oh

[tawdry mulch]

That extra distance it goes back can be added by getting the position of the frame at the root window during the click(win_off)

[tawdry mulch]

from tkinter import *

app = Tk()
app.geometry('700x700')

frame = Frame(bg="red", width=50, height=20)
frame.place(x=0, y=10)

def get_coords(e):
    global offsetx, win_off
    win_off = e.widget.winfo_x()
    offsetx = e.widget.winfo_rootx() + e.x

def test(e):
    x = frame.winfo_pointerx() - offsetx + win_off
    frame.place_configure(x=x, y=10)

frame.bind("<Button-1>", get_coords)
frame.bind("<B1-Motion>", test)

app.mainloop()

[polar wave]

yea work exactly as planned, i can't find any bug

[tawdry mulch]

...yet :p

i hv used pack everywhere so...

[tidal isle]

u can use tkinter

[tawdry mulch]

grid is more precise

[tidal isle]

yes ik that now will hv to use grid next time

Hi, I would like to know if any kind of libraries, easy to understand, or already implemented features exist to be able to write things with let's say a tablet and display them live in python

like Word, but in python

[tawdry mulch]

umm what?

[hollow stump]

I want to be able to have an interface in python to (hand)write in

[grizzled monolith]

Hello. Anyone using or developing an IDE with TKinter ?

[fickle jewel]

hey guys is there something like qtdesigner that is crossplatform like kivy?

[tawdry mulch]

hand write?

[tawdry mulch]

IDE with tkinter?

[tribal path]

Like word or like paint? Or paint + ocr

[hollow stump]

Yeah I though tkinter

Seems to be the best thing for me

[grizzled monolith]

Yes I would like to learn TKinter making or studying an IDE...

[spring turtle]

yeah but i need to do it internally

nvm i got it

[tidal isle]

k

[tidal isle]

any idea??

[spring turtle]

are you asking for tkinter

if yes, then i think its just checkbutton.get(), returns 1 if checked and 0 if not

[gloomy prawn]

any way to fix this?

[sinful pendant]

Is something weong in this program my all orher programs working fine but when runned this one my pc suffers lags non responsive etc

When i run this the tkinter windows do t opens

And after some processing the program ends

[gloomy prawn]

my pc almost died as well

its because of this line

changing it to ```py
my_menu.add_cascade(label="File", menu=file_menu)

fixes it

[sinful pendant]

Let me try

hey guys, Im using Pyside2 to make and app for a project. I use a Qml file for the QQuickView, and I would like to change the qml file during the execution of the app. When I try threading, the error "Updates can only be scheduled from GUI thread or from QQuickItem::updatePaintNode()" pops up. Anyone can help me with this??

    screen_updater = Process(target=update_screen)
    screen_updater.start()
    view.show()
    app.exec_()```

heres is the code thats on the main thread👆

app = QApplication([])
view = QQuickView

[tawdry mulch]

Idk what your asking, it's two different things

[tawdry mulch]

Use IntVar?

how can i print markdown with a str in rich? it doesn't display the object's value

>>> console.print(f'hello {Markdown("**world**")}')
hello <rich.markdown.Markdown object at 0x7f87918b0d00>

[twilit umbra]

With tkinter how can I do the opposite of root.withdraw()? I currently have this

root.bind('<Insert>', lambda x: root.wm_withdraw()) 
root.bind('h', lambda x: root.wm_deiconify())

but deiconify doesnt work like when I do withdraw, it doesnt come back up

[safe pasture]

I heard that python apps can't work on a device without python installed in it
Is that true?
Cz i'm currently learning kivy

[lapis dagger]

console.print(Markdown("hello **world**"))

[gloomy prawn]

inside an f-string?

i would also like to use other text styles like [red], but Markdown("[red]hello **world**") wouldn't work

[tawdry mulch]

The app no more has focus, so it does not recognize that you pressed 'h' and hence does not show up

[tawdry mulch]

Yea, but once you make an exe, it should be fine

[swift galleon]

Guys DearPyGui wants something called data of an image that just contain values like (1 0 0 1 0.5 1 0) to draw an image

And I am using Pillow to edit an image,
Pillow don't give me a data variable where it lets me to draw the image in DearPyGui and I don't want to save the image in PIL to just be able to draw it

How can I get the data values from PIL ?

Hint when I load an Image in DPG I get the data value in it

ping me if replying plz

[kind knoll]

Not sure how to delete images created in a tkinter canvas in sequential order, help?

[tawdry mulch]

How are they created

[kind knoll]

# update canvas with image of person
headshot_canvas.create_image(canvas_width, canvas_height, image=head_images[name], anchor="se")

[tawdry mulch]

How many such images are created

[kind knoll]

1 per loop, so at most id want only 2 images on the canvas at any given time

i tried

tags = headshot_canvas.find_all()
    if len(tags) > 2:
        headshot_canvas.delete(tags[-1])

[tawdry mulch]

You could store this in a variable and then append it to a list, and then delete from there

[kind knoll]

Not sure what you mean

I can assign a tag to each image

so headshot_canvas.create_image(canvas_width, canvas_height, image=head_images[name], anchor="se", tag='image1')

and then use headshot_canvas.delete(image1)

then add the tags to a list and then delete the last 1 I guess

Hoped there wud be an easier way though

[tawdry mulch]

Yea but I need to see code

[kind knoll]

@tawdry mulch ```py
def update_frame():
frame = cap.read()
headshot_canvas.create_image(canvas_width, canvas_height, image=frame, anchor="se")
root.after(round(60), update_frame)

that's the gist of it

[tawdry mulch]

This is a continous func? It will never stop executing?

[kind knoll]

correct

[tawdry mulch]

You could be like:

count = 0
def update_frame():
    global count
    if count < 2:
        frame = cap.read()
        headshot_canvas.create_image(canvas_width, canvas_height, image=frame, anchor="se")    
        root.after(round(60), update_frame)
        count += 1

[tawdry mulch]

Wait, do you want it to run continous?

[kind knoll]

Yea it needs to run continuously but the I need to delete older image on the canvas after a new onehas been added

[tawdry mulch]

You are adding images every 60 milliseconds(so FAST), so you want to delete the previously created image, before adding new image?

[kind knoll]

hmmm

I wanted to do it after adding new one but I suppose before could work..

[tawdry mulch]

I am pointing out that this is ridiculously fast.

[kind knoll]

oh

The time doesn't matter much

[tawdry mulch]

This sounds like an XY problem to me

[swift galleon]

hey u want help

u can delete something on a canvas using this

self.id = canvas.create_oval(10, 10, 25, 25, fill=self.color)
# delete it here:
canvas.delete(self.id)

[swift galleon]

@kind knoll

[swift galleon]

guys to draw an Image in DearPyGui u have load it and it gives u data variable:

wid
th, height, channels, data = dpg.load_image('SpriteMapExample.png') # 0: width, 1: height, 2: channels, 3: data

and if I print data it gives me this:

[ 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000  ... ]

how can I let PIL(pillow) give me the 'data' to let DearPyGui draw it ?
and this numbers that 'data' variable gives is called UV map right or I am wrong?

can someone help me ?

[misty canopy]

IIRC I saw a discord link on DearPyGui's github page

try asking there what the fourth return (a "mvBuffer", apparently) of load_image is

[swift galleon]

oh

I am so close for how to do that:

dpg_image = numpy.frombuffer(self.image_PIL.tobytes(), dtype=numpy.uint8) / 255.0

its rgb values of the image pixels

but from 0 to 1

[swift galleon]

but this gives me an error

TypeError: unhashable type: 'numpy.ndarray'

@misty canopy

[swift galleon]

oh wait I think that I know whats the fix

a new error 😦

SystemError: <built-in function add_static_texture> returned a result with an error set

[swift galleon]

I think that it didn't like the pil data

[twilit umbra]

and can I fix tyhis?

I've been trying to figure out a way to hide the display and bring it back with the press of a keybind

[gloomy prawn]

why not just use another lib to listen for key events?

[twilit umbra]

yeah i have tried that

but how can i hide the siplay

display*

[storm flare]

for some reason when im using tkinter, whenever i place a widget, it affects the sizing and placement of other widgets above it and below it how do i fix this?

[tawdry mulch]

Use global keybinding

Code?

[tawdry mulch]

Same way you would do otherwise

[twilit umbra]

but i dont know how to do it 😦

You are overwriting every button with new buttons and at the end, you will just one button

[rapid inlet]

do anybody know how to make the topbar transparent?

[tawdry mulch]

which framework

[rapid inlet]

tkinter

[tawdry mulch]

Yea but you will have to handle mouse events yourself and the window can get lost easily

[rapid inlet]

what???

[tawdry mulch]

root.overrideredirect(1) will do it

[rapid inlet]

i know but i want to make it half transparent

[mighty rock]

You just won't have the controllability of moving, resizing, closing nor minimizing the Window, you will have to implement these yourself.

[mighty rock]

You can try changing the alpha of the root window and putting everything else in a frame with an alpha of 1

[tawdry mulch]

In a new window

[tawdry mulch]

Alpha is not selective

[rapid inlet]

alpha can only make the full window transperent

[mighty rock]

Well oof

[rapid inlet]

yeah

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmm let me try a way around, but yea very limited control over these

[rapid inlet]

mmh...

if you found one option then tell it to me

[tawdry mulch]

There is no "option", only hacks

[rapid inlet]

and what are they

[tawdry mulch]

My current idea is to make a window with alpha and then create a new opaque window(without titlebar) and then bind this new window with alpha window

[mighty rock]

Yeah

You would have to bind all of the geometry related events

And stuff

[rapid inlet]

can u give me an
example

[tawdry mulch]

Absolutely pain in the ass, not even needed. Just realize the fact that tkinter is not a modern GUI framework and provides very less control over WM

[rapid inlet]

example, please?

[tawdry mulch]

of what

[rapid inlet]

how do you make the transparent top bar?

[mighty rock]

You mean translucent

[rapid inlet]

???

[tawdry mulch]

A bare bone example cause im so jobless 🤦‍♂️

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
main = Toplevel(root)
app_w,app_h = 400,400
root.geometry(f'{app_w}x{app_h}')

root.attributes('-alpha',0.5)
main.overrideredirect(1)
main.attributes('-topmost',1)
root.update()

def re_pos(e):
    main.focus()
    pos = root.winfo_geometry()
    off_w,off_h = pos.split('+')[-2:]
    main.geometry(f'{app_w}x{app_h}+{int(off_w)+10}+{int(off_h)+40}')

def focus_out(e):
    print('Focus lost')
    main.attributes('-topmost',0)

def focus_in(e):
    print('Focus in')
    main.attributes('-topmost',1)

def bring_up(e):
    print('mapped')
    main.lift()

pos = root.winfo_geometry()
off_w,off_h = pos.split('+')[-2:]
main.geometry(f'{app_w}x{app_h}+{int(off_w)+10}+{int(off_h)+40}')

root.bind('<Configure>',   re_pos)
root.bind('<FocusIn>'  , bring_up)
root.bind('<Map>'      , bring_up)
main.bind('<FocusIn>'  , focus_in)
main.bind('<FocusOut>' ,focus_out)

Label(main,text='This is an app withtranslucent titlebar',font=(0,21)).pack()

main.focus_force()
root.mainloop()

[ebon dome]

Heyo guys, anyone who can help me with tkinter?

I'm trying to put the 4 label texts in-between the input boxes, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it

[tawdry mulch]

More code

Basically give an option, pack(after=widgetname).

[tawdry mulch]

Means to import "all"

[ebon dome]

I gave an ipadx and ipady option, but that made the label texts go down even more

[shy carbon]

Hi guys. I've built an app using Tkinter and I want to distribute it (for mac and windows). But for the life of me I couldn't get the final stand alone app to be right. I've used pyinstaller many times and played with the settings but still. so if you have any idea how to please contact me or give suggestions here. (note: the app works perfectly as a script)

[shy carbon]

have you tried to grid?

[tawdry mulch]

I said use after not padx or ipadx

[ebon dome]

I will try to implement that

[tawdry mulch]

Yes, your best way is grid()

[shy carbon]

grid seems better for your use. TIP: for the bottom Button you could put it on row=99 for example if it were to be always on the bottom, GL.

[ebon dome]

_tkinter.TclError: cannot use geometry manager grid inside . which already has slaves managed by pack

[tawdry mulch]

Either pack or grid inside a single container

[ebon dome]

I did grid, but I get that error consequently

label.grid()

[tawdry mulch]

Means there is pack() somewhere

[ebon dome]

Yeah thats for canvas

I can't use pack for canvas and grid for labels?

[tawdry mulch]

Not if theyr in the same container @ebon dome

[ebon dome]

I managed to move the first sentence by changing everything to grid()

But it doesnt really let me position it properly

[tawdry mulch]

Study about it, it is precise

How can I make a list of combo boxes in QT that is scrollable when out of bounds?

[eager beacon]

stick them inside a QScrollArea()

[green stump]

Is it in qdesigner? (found it) - im not sure how to work with it.

[eager beacon]

yes

You need to drag the items you want to be scrollable into the scrollArea

[green stump]

I overfitted the scroll area but it doesnt seem to let me scroll

Like this? https://gyazo.com/5b14d6888670cf3fdc4352cb874bc91c

[eager beacon]

right click on an empty part of the scroll area and go to Layout> Vertical Layout

[green stump]

awesome thank you

[forest prism]

button.grid(row=i, column=4, sticky=tkinter.NSEW, command=lambda y=operator: self.add_to_expression(y))
``` I don't think there's any problem in this but I still get a error

[mighty rock]

Assuming you mean to use operator in the lambda:
command=lambda: self.add_expression(operator)

[tawdry mulch]

Both are entirely different

[kindred dome]

How would I go about creating a button for each name that is in a list, and then setting the button's name to it's appropriate name in the list? For TKinter.

I've attempted to do it like this:

for i in names:
  button = Button(root, text=i)

It does everything I want except for iterating through the names. It just sets all the button's names to the first name in the list.

[tawdry mulch]

It does iterate through, I think the problem is that you are placing all these buttons on the exact same location, hence each button over writes another and in the end you see just one, probably last item in the list

[mighty rock]

Yeah, my bad, that's new syntax for me.

[shy carbon]

try this : `btns = ['ex1', 'ex2', 'ex3']

for i in range(len(btns)):
tk.Button(root, text=btns[i]).grid(row=i, column=0, ipadx=10, ipady=10)`

[kindred dome]

That didn't seem to work. It's still making the correct amount of buttons, but is setting all of their names to the first button name in the list.

[tawdry mulch]

Show come code then, have to run and see

Also show the list

[kindred dome]

# Initialize widgets
class List(Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        text = Text(self, wrap="none", bg="#DDDDDD", spacing3=3)
        scrollbar = Scrollbar(self, orient="vertical", command=text.yview)
        text.configure(yscrollcommand=scrollbar.set)

        # Scrolling
        def onScroll(event):
                text.yview_scroll(int(-1*(event.delta/120)), "units")
        def scrollAreaEnter(event):
                text.bind_all("<MouseWheel>", onScroll)
        def scrollAreaLeave(event):
                text.unbind_all("<MouseWheel>")
        
        scrollbar.pack(side="right", fill="y")
        text.pack(fill="both", expand=True)

        # readDataPNames can be replaced with ["Test Name1", "Test Name2", "Test Name3"]
        buttonNames = readDataPNames()

        for i in range(len(buttonNames)):
            button = Button(self, text=buttonNames[i], font=explorerFonts.statusMessageFont, relief=GROOVE, width=32, bg="#DDDDDD", activebackground="#CDCDCD")
            text.window_create("end", window=button)
            button.bind("<Enter>", scrollAreaEnter)
            button.bind("<Leave>", scrollAreaLeave)
            text.insert("end", "\n")
        text.configure(state="disabled")

That should be the code to get it up and running sort of

List(root).place(height=764, width=350, x=0, y=30.5)

to initialise it somewhere

It makes this

[tawdry mulch]

print(buttonNames) to make sure it is what you want

[kindred dome]

Ahh. It's showing this.

Think that might be the issue

xD

Let me just re-write the code that sets that list to see if I can fix it.

[tawdry mulch]

Yea that was the only possible explanation I had in mind

[kindred dome]

It's always the easiest thing I could do to troubleshoot it that I never do 😄

[tawdry mulch]

print() is the easiest and very effective method

A simple print() can show you the flow of code

[kindred dome]

Yeah. It does seem to be fixed though, when I try it with a pre-made list of strings. The code that creates that list is a bit annoying to fix but I think I'll be able to do it, ty!

How do I wait for a input and print at the same time using threads?

[swift galleon]

hello guys,
I am having a problem with loading a PIL(pillow) image in DearPyGui.
and the problem was that DearPyGui wants width and height and 'data' to draw an Image.
and I've reached this solution to get the data value from PIL:

self.image_PIL = PIL_Image.open(path)
dpg_image_data = numpy.frombuffer(self.image_PIL.tobytes(), dtype=numpy.uint8) / 255.0

but with this I have this new error:
line 4904, in add_static_texture
return internal_dpg.add_static_texture(width, height, default_value, label=label, user_data=user_data, use_internal_label=use_internal_label, id=id, parent=parent)
SystemError: <built-in function add_static_texture> returned a result with an error set

hit: the original data value is :

[ 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000  ... ]

and self.image_PIL.tobytes() gives this :

b'\x00\x00\x00\xff\x00\x00\x00\xff\x00\x00\x00\xff\x00\x00\x00\xff\x00\x00\x00\xff\x00\x00\x00\xff\x00\x00\x00\xff\x00\x00\x00\xff\x00\x00\x00

and the data that I've converted(dpg_image_data) is

[0. 0. 0. ... 0. 0. 1.]

I think the problem is that the image's data that I've converted is not converted very well i mean that u can see that the PIL data that I've converted is a bit different it contains '.' after a number and without anything else,
and I think that the PIL data that I've converted must be the same as the data that the DearPyGui gives me when I load the image there
help me plz guys

[buoyant fulcrum]

Hi Guys, My code is very long so I won't be able to share it. But i'm looking to accomplish something. I'm using tkinter

I have made buttons using a list (with a for loop)

I would like to delete buttons once they are no longer in the list. (I need this because each button represents something which could be deleted by the users choice)

Could anyone help me accomplish this?

I was thinking of something like:

For each button, also append it to list B
(When the frame is updated, list A already gets refreshed)
Check if list A matches list B. For any item that isn't in list A, delete that button and also remove it from list B.```
But I need help in deleting the buttons

[tawdry mulch]

You could convert those list in to set and then find the difference to find uncommon members and then delete those

[buoyant fulcrum]

that sounds good, ty

does anyone know, how I could delete a tkinter button that was made in a for loop?

I know how to do it based on when the button is clicked, but I wan't a function to do it if possible

[mortal marten]

i dont use tkinter, so i can't give you solution but an idea which may or may not work. you could create a custom class which inherits from button and give it variable like button_id so that you could delete button with specific id, just quick loop through list of buttons

something like:

for button in second_button_list:
if button.button_id not in [button.button_id for button in first_button_list]:
delete(button) # or however you delete button in tkinter

i use pyqt and i would use that approach

@buoyant fulcrum

[digital rose]

How do I make it so when setting a QLCDNumber's value (as a double), the decimal is not truncated (e.g py self.lcdNumber.setProperty("value", 2.10) sets it to 2.1, but I want it to strictly include each digit no matter what (2.10))

nevermind figured it out I can use self.lcdNumber.display and pass the integer as a string (with the decimal points)

[tawdry mulch]

You would append these buttons to a list and then use destroy() on the button that your loop through later. ..?

[buoyant fulcrum]

sorry, I don't understand

[mortal marten]

try making new button class that inherits from tkinter's button class and only has one more variable called button_id or similar, and then you could compare those id's when you iterate through lists

[digital rose]

I have a question about PyQt5

Is there a way to pass an argument into a function and use the value that argument in the future? Like I'm doing some PyQt5 thread work and I have something like py self.worker.finished.connect( partial(iso_info_format_gui, self.passable) ) where self.passable 's value will be something like 0 at first when the code declares that it's connecting to signal slot thing, and then when the finished signal is emitted, the value of self.passable will be different.

So the difference in value when it was connected and when it actually runs, does anyone know how to do this?

try making a variable in class where it you want to use that variable, and pass that class to the class where the variable changes, and once it changes change that same variable in the class you passed

kinda hard to explain hahah...

[digital rose]

I have at the moment py self.passable = [...]

instead of py self.passable = ... because I figured in Python passing a list passes by reference

also doing this works

But I was just wondering if there was a better way

[mortal marten]

so basically you change that variable in another class and would like to use it in the class it was initialized?

but have its new value stored in it

[digital rose]

I just need the state of the variable (self.passable which is in class1) to be passed into class2 as it's state and not that value it was before

to be honest this is quite a bizarre scenario, self.passable is in a partial, and at the time it's told to be there in the finished emitting line, the value of it is let's say 0

however when it's declared to actually be USED, the value has already changed

however Python is still using it as its old value, 0, so it has something to do with passing into partial

so I suppose partial is the problem

Maybe I could try using a lambda function?

self.worker.finished.connect(
  partial(iso_info_format_gui, self.passable)
)```
```py
self.worker.finished.connect(
  lambda: iso_info_format_gui(self.passable)
)``` like this

the difference is that partial (from functools) is not being used anymore, so self.passable isn't being copied into that function, whatever the value was at that stage

in the lambda function, the code inside only runs when the function runs

and nothing is being copied

I guess that'd work

let me try

[mortal marten]

hmmmm yeahhh usual pyqt bizzare situations lmao

[digital rose]

Yep looked like a lambda function worked there

thanks for the help 👍

[mortal marten]

np 👍

[tawdry mulch]

Make a list and then append to that list, later you can loop through that list and then delete

[buoyant fulcrum]

ohh

so if I append the button's defining variable I can later delete it?

[mortal marten]

thats the way you could differantiate between buttons

[tawdry mulch]

Yes, if you have reference to something, you can reuse it later

How do i remove the native dotted outline for a QListWidget?

https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp

[green stump]

It doesn't seem to affect it

^ css of that:css QListWidget { background: #121212; color: white; border: none; } QListView::item:hover { background: #1F1F1F; color: white; border: none; } QListView::item:selected { background: #383838; color: white; border: none; }

[rotund fable]

The selected

How much knowledge of css do you have?

[green stump]

Yes, i changed it in the selected?

[green stump]

I know the syntax, various selectors and a bunch of fundamental tags

[rotund fable]

Can I have a look at the html that should be displayed?

[green stump]

Oh, just without the borders - and im using this to style Qt elements not really html.

[rotund fable]

The item:selected border nine should’ve done the trick

[green stump]

It should have, that's why I got confused and came here

[plush stream]

@green stump using qss to remove those dots will not work

Use setFocusPolicy(Qt.NoFocus) instead

[green stump]

Thank you ruby!

[digital rose]

can someone help me?

[tawdry mulch]

with

[digital rose]

PyQt5

so i wanna make a terminal app

that gets the text entered into the py file/ui file

and runs it as os.system(enteredcode)

then prints the output to the app

[kindred dome]

Would anyone happen to know how I could get the name of a button I pressed that was made from a loop in Tkinter?

As an example to better explain:

def copyName(name):
  print(name)

names = ['name1', 'name2', 'name3']
for name in names:
  button = Button(root, text=name, command=lambda: copyName(button["text"])
  button.pack()

What seems to happen when I try this method is that it just takes the last created button (which makes sense since it's the latest instance of a button) and returns that name no matter which button I press.

[tawdry mulch]

Try command=lambda button=button: copyName(button["text"])

[kindred dome]

It gives the error "Local variable 'button' referenced before assignment".

[tawdry mulch]

Yea, well then

[tawdry mulch]

for name in names:
  button = Button(root, text=name)
  button.config(command=lambda button=button: copyName(button["text"]))
  button.pack()

[kindred dome]

Yes, that works! Thank you!

[green stump]

I have a QListWidget which I have it's drop/drag mode set to DragOnly and it's action to CopyAction, once i drag and drop it's items into another widget, how can I get the text of that item?

[mortal marten]

I have an idea for widget, but it seems to be pretty hard to implement... so basically i wanna make a wheel of labels which will get larger when they are in the front, and smaller and smaller as they go to the back of the wheel, so basically you could spin that wheel and select the label you want, here's an example

(as you can see my art skills are on the level)

i don't know if there's already something similar in already implemented in pyqt5 (I don't want just normall scroll area) or should i go exploring wild web in search for some dark magic using animations and resizing and who knows what, that would allow me to make this widget

also if there's something like this in some other gui framework for python i would really to know

[tawdry mulch]

Hmmmm seems like I know what I am gonna do this weekend 😛

[mortal marten]

well if you find a solution, i would be rlly grateful!

[tawdry mulch]

But I am using tkinter

[mortal marten]

aww mann, but even so if you figure it out in tkinter pls share

i will try to translate it into pyqt hahahah

[tawdry mulch]

Seems very hard, but yea sure

[mortal marten]

thanks!

[green stump]

Okay, so here's an example i've come up with

gif: https://gyazo.com/667f86d964a13a275eba95181105457b
fullcode: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uwujojatoq.py

context:
So you generate a simple setup with QtDesigner for a QScrollArea with a QHorizontalLayout and placed the labels.
Keep in mind that i used pyside2 here, not pyqt5

explaination:
You start off with the usual subclassing of the main window and then implement the mainwindow with the script from qt
designer if you're using one. If not just keep in mind the name of your scroll area. Now Scroll areas have a widget inside them called the
scrollAreaWidgetContents in my script. You have to install an event filter that catches the QWheelEvent and once we have that,
we can get the angle at which the wheel is rotated and animate the labels inside the grid with values derived from the angle delta.

For installing an event filter into the scroll area widget, we make a class called Animation subclassed under QObject
In the Animation class, we have to implement the side-scroll effect and the resize effects, done through deriving a value from the wheel
angle to make arbitrary decisions on it's speed and direction. We can then use the animation framework that comes with Qt called QVariantAnimation
to create a decent movement with some weight - it performs a linear interpolation between a starting value and an ending value, so it steps through the
ranges (simple value change should work too). By fine tuning that, you can have more action going on and whatnot.

[tawdry mulch]

Looks excellent, but is the mouse moving?

[green stump]

nop, i thought it was supposed to be for scrolling?

[mortal marten]

man that looks awesome!!!

[green stump]

Thanks!

[tawdry mulch]

Oh

Anyway stuff looks super

[green stump]

Good luck with implementing it on tkinter btw!

its a pretty fun task

[mortal marten]

im kinda new to animations and events so i was rlly having hard time trying to implement it

[tawdry mulch]

Argh, its gonna be a mess

[green stump]

Same, i've actually never worked with animations before but I knew the basics XD

[mortal marten]

also, i hate to bother you, but can you make it so that it can also sping if you click and drag to the side

[green stump]

refer to this if u need help https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/, its wayyy better than the pyqt docs but its in C++ so u need to know that to understand code examples

[green stump]

sping?

[mortal marten]

spin*

[green stump]

Oh okay, yep lemme try that

lmk if u got any questions with the current code

[mortal marten]

thanks so much man!

im gonna try it out right away

thank god pyside and pyqt are so similar hahahahh

[green stump]

Also, disable your scroll area's horizontal scroll and verti scrolls before or it might not propogate wheel events properly

[mortal marten]

ok ok

what is abcd?

[green stump]

that's the script from Qt Designer

[mortal marten]

from which u import Ui Mainwindow

ohh

[green stump]

its basically this

a simple setup

[mortal marten]

as i am now, i am just a pleb who has literally installed qt designer yesterday (not even joking) so i have no idea how to work with it

[green stump]

Try to learn it, it's sooooo useful

you can do 50% of the designing and feature implementations in it

[mortal marten]

yeah i thought so too, i think it would be far easier to make it look nice using designer

like styles, positioning and all of that

[green stump]

Yeah, it lets you handle a lot of the widget properties too, they can be overwhelming at first but you'll appreciate their diversity later down the line

[green stump]

mate @mortal marten, i have to go out for now, for proceeding, a few things you have to do, first for rotations, make a subclass of the QLabel that provides the rotation accessibility or use QTransform to rotate the QPixmap of the QLabel.

Then log the mouse press events from the scroll contents inside the event filter and after making sure that the mouse presses are onto one of the labels in position, if you've confirmed that, re-parent that label to be dragged onto the central widget and get it out of the scroll area, then move along with the mouse and play around with the rotation

[mortal marten]

thanks a lot for advice! although that's way too much information for my simple brain to handle (still trying to deal with that abcd thingy) but I'm gonna give it a shot before my school starts, also if you maybe have the whole code setup which i could mess with and see what different stuff does, i would really appreciate it, but you've already done more than enough, so again thanks so much! :D

[sullen thunder]

Hey so I dunno if this would be the channel to discuss this. However, I am trying to create a simple program to play video on a raspberry pi.

Was going to use python-vlc. However the media_list_player, doesnt appear to want to toggle_fullscreen. Something about how a media_player and media_list_player aren't the same.

Any thoughts on alternatives

Also, yes I know I could just install vlc on the pi then just headless in and play a playlist. Only I wanted to program it to practice some code.

[plush stream]

media_list_player is sort of abandoned in libvlc

so did you use media_list_player to play multiple media?

[sullen thunder]

Yeah, as far as I can determine I needed to use that to use a playlist.

I haven't particularly loved the documentation. It didn't appear the media_playercould use a list but one file at a time.

[plush stream]

have you tried getting the MediaPlayer object out of MediaListPlayer and then toggle the fullscreen from there?

[sullen thunder]

I saw that there was a get_media_player() and set_media_player() function. Which is what I think your referring to.

I did attempt but I think I wasn't implementing it right didn't seem to work.

[plush stream]

ok hold on

i think i can send some examples

import vlc

medialist = vlc.MediaList()
medialist.add_media("path/to/some/media")

medialistplayer = vlc.MediaListPlayer()
medialistplayer.set_media_list(medialist)
medialistplayer.play()

mediaplayerobject = medialistplayer.get_media_player()
mediaplayerobject.toggle_fullscreen()

input()

it seems to work on windows, idk about pi

[sullen thunder]

Okay, that looks clear. I should be able to work that into my script. I am testing on windows until the code is ready.

[plush stream]

cool

[sullen thunder]

Sadly I won't be able to test until tonight.

[plush stream]

btw can we continue the conversation in dm since vlc is not about gui at all lol

[sullen thunder]

Okay, I will hit you up tonight and let you know how it works. I can also more easily Share code that way

[plush stream]

sounds good

reposting my message from one of the help channels:

Trying to learn tkinter with a business card maker project, but I can't figure how to get things to lay out right.
I want things to look like:
name:[entry box][space]
job:[entry box][space]
output:[entry box]
[space][START][space]
and instead they lay out like this.
Here's my code. (tkinter imported as tk)

window = tk.Tk()
window.title("Business Card Generator")
content = tk.Frame(window)
frame = tk.Frame(content, width=50, height=100)

name = tk.StringVar()
namelbl = tk.Label(text="Name:")
nameEntry = tk.Entry(content, textvariable=name)

job = tk.StringVar()
joblbl = tk.Label(text="Occupation:")
jobEntry = tk.Entry(content, textvariable=job)

output = tk.StringVar()
outputlbl = tk.Label(text="Output file path:")
outputEntry = tk.Entry(content, textvariable=output)

start = tk.Button(content,text="START")
start.bind("Generate",genCard(name,job,output))

content.grid(column=0,row=0)
frame.grid(column=2,row=0,columnspan=2,rowspan=1)

namelbl.grid(column=0,row=0)
nameEntry.grid(column=1,row=0)

joblbl.grid(column=0,row=1)
jobEntry.grid(column=1,row=1)

outputlbl.grid(column=0,row=2)
outputEntry.grid(column=1,row=2,columnspan=2)

start.grid(column=1,row=4)
window.mainloop()

[tawdry mulch]

Whats space

[sturdy flame]

I just mean a blank area, a frame

ngl that layout isn't exactly in very tkinter terms lol

[tawdry mulch]

I dont get the layout anyway, but here is something

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

Label(root,text='Name:').grid(row=0,column=0)
name_ent = Entry(root)
name_ent.grid(row=0,column=1)

Label(root,text='Job:').grid(row=1,column=0)
job_ent = Entry(root)
job_ent.grid(row=1,column=1)

Label(root,text='Output:').grid(row=2,column=0)
output_ent = Entry(root)
output_ent.grid(row=2,column=1)

Button(root,text='Start').grid(row=3,column=1)

root.mainloop()

[sturdy flame]

welp that works

appreciate the help

[sturdy flame]

sorry, one more question--how do I bind the button to call a function?

would i just do

start = Button(root,text='Start')
start.bind("print",print("hello world"))
start.grid(row=3,column=1)

for example

[tawdry mulch]

Did you use any tkinter tutorial previously?

[sturdy flame]

Been working on the real python and tk docs ones but they seem to not really agree on everything

[tawdry mulch]

This is really the basics...

You would use command option with Button

[sturdy flame]

All right, thanks, that makes sense

Thanks for the help

[rocky dragon]

I'm rewriting an older app of mine to PySide6 from PyQt5 and I'm wondering again about whether It'd be better to use the builtin Qt capabilities for things like requests, or create worker threads that'd run common python frameworks

[rocky dragon]

I guess this would be more suited to #software-architecture , moving there

[plush stream]

@rocky dragon i'm not sure about the network bit but you should definitely use built in thread system in qt i.e: QThreadPool or QThread

Since it will be easier to communicate between threads in qt by using Signals

[rocky dragon]

Yeah that's what I used before but I'm not sure if I like the interface it provides too much and the fact there may be other concerns from a thread, although I guess with an abstracted class it's similar to a QtNetwork request without all the c++ enums and stuff around it.

although admittedly I got much better at programming so that also may partly be because of that lack of understanding when writing it

[still zinc]

Hi, so I built a text editor using Tkinter. But the problem is that the GUI is very blur and more like harms the eye. Could someone help me find a solution?
(I'm also currently building a python-text-editor using wxpython and facing the same issue)

[still zinc]

Think of it as notepad but the letters in the frame are very blur
Is this normal?

[tawdry mulch]

No, it is prolly windows issue

[still zinc]

Any solutions?

[tawdry mulch]

Settings --> Display settings --> Advanced scaling settings --> Uncheck 'Let windows try to fix blurry apps....' and then restart

[still zinc]

Thanks a lot! Will try and let you know 🙂
Do I have to run the program or something before doing this?

[tawdry mulch]

Run the program? The app? No

EVERY GUI on the windows will be blurry, you can try it. It is some weird windows bug.

[still zinc]

Hey @digital rose!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (.zip). We currently allow the following file types: .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .png, .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .webm, .webp, .flac, .m4a.

why give space?

u can use enter

    return 'break'

e = Entry(root)
e.pack()
e.bind('<space>',func)

yeah ive treid that, doesnt work

[lost dragon]

enter does something else

[tawdry mulch]

The code I sent works....

hmm wait maybe i messed something up lemme try again

oh it does work thanks! dk why it didnt work earlier

Yeah a little bit

Can I get some cheat sheet

I actually got tired finding that

[tidal isle]

what do u wanna find?

lol

its ok

code?

[carmine radish]

Do you want my code?

[tidal isle]

no hv u made anythin

[carmine radish]

Actually I discarded that code just now .
Got frustrated with the errors and all that

Ig I need to learn it from scratch

[tidal isle]

well u shud hv sent it

[carmine radish]

No short cuts apply here😭

[tidal isle]

can u send an example for this contact window?

[carmine radish]

Sure

Sorry for the delay I had to go

Bro I think I will learn it from scratch.
I am just copy pasting snippets. It will be better if I will learn it.

[tidal isle]

if u r a beginner thats what u shud do

[still zinc]

This didn't work.
Though I find another solution:

import tkinter as tk 
from ctypes import windll
root= tk.Tk()
windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness(1)

#make app
root.mainloop()

However the same doesn't work for wxpython where I'm making a Python Text Editor
Any help is appreciated.

[still zinc]

Are you sure @tawdry mulch ? Because I found folks on the subreddit who said it works just fine

Is there a good way to let ctrl c gracefully interrupt a Qt app? I can register a signal to quit the app but that's blocked by the gui thread until it calls back into python code on some action

How do you test tkinter apps? I mean how to test in automatic fashion, w/o human intervention? I have a tkinter app
https://github.com/trsvchn/coco-viewer
and I'd like to add some tests for it, setup CI pipeline, and actually to be sure that it works after the adding new features etc.
...or maybe you can provide some resources on that, that would be great? Thank in advance!

[fluid fiber]

I see everyone hear is talking about tkinter, how hard/easy would it be to learn for a beginner programmer?

[digital rose]

not very hard

[fluid fiber]

Im currently reading the tutorial in the docs and it looks pretty clunky to write, at least for me as a newb

[digital rose]

thats most likely the same for everything as ur new :))

[fluid fiber]

bokeh was very simple in comparison

[tawdry mulch]

Isnt that for plots alone

tkinter is the simplest base. There are more simple maybe, but it uses tkinter as base

[fluid fiber]

yeah, im talking about the tutorial, which is much easier to follow

[tawdry mulch]

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
root.mainloop()

I dont know if there is any GUI that will be more easier to create a window than this😂

[fluid fiber]

from tkinter import ttk

def calculate(*args):
    try:
        value = float(feet.get())
        meters.set(int(0.3048 * value * 10000.0 + 0.5)/10000.0)
    except ValueError:
        pass

root = Tk()
root.title("Feet to Meters")

mainframe = ttk.Frame(root, padding="3 3 12 12")
mainframe.grid(column=0, row=0, sticky=(N, W, E, S))
root.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
root.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)

feet = StringVar()
feet_entry = ttk.Entry(mainframe, width=7, textvariable=feet)
feet_entry.grid(column=2, row=1, sticky=(W, E))

meters = StringVar()
ttk.Label(mainframe, textvariable=meters).grid(column=2, row=2, sticky=(W, E))

ttk.Button(mainframe, text="Calculate", command=calculate).grid(column=3, row=3, sticky=W)

ttk.Label(mainframe, text="feet").grid(column=3, row=1, sticky=W)
ttk.Label(mainframe, text="is equivalent to").grid(column=1, row=2, sticky=E)
ttk.Label(mainframe, text="meters").grid(column=3, row=2, sticky=W)

for child in mainframe.winfo_children(): 
    child.grid_configure(padx=5, pady=5)

feet_entry.focus()
root.bind("<Return>", calculate)

root.mainloop()```

heres the example from the docs

[tawdry mulch]

There is nothing complicated here, except the math I guess

[buoyant mural]

Hey, can someone say me how i can put an label always in the bottom auf my program-window?

[tawdry mulch]

Which framework

[buoyant mural]

tkinter

[tawdry mulch]

Maybe pack(side='bottom') might help

Or grid(row=999,column=0)

[fluid fiber]

how to I place buttons with grid from buttom to top?

[buoyant mural]

nah it dont work but thanks

[tawdry mulch]

Show an example please

[tawdry mulch]

Like...?

[fluid fiber]

instead of creating 1st row 7 8 9
4 5 6
i wanna create 4 5 6
1st row 1 2 3

just to make the grid work the other way

[tawdry mulch]

I still dont understand, what is 7 8 9

[fluid fiber]

nvm that, just think about how when you create to labels on top of eachother, the first row is always the top row, right?
so is there a way to change to order, so the first row would be at the bottom

nvm, found my answer

[tawdry mulch]

What is it

[buoyant mural]

want the red marked text there where i marked with blue (and sorry for my english, im 14 and from germany 😆)

[tawdry mulch]

Ok show code please

What do you want to use, pack or grid

[buoyant mural]

pack

[tawdry mulch]

Try using this instead

action_label = Label(fenster, text="Du hast noch keine Aktion gewählt.")
action_label.pack(side='bottom',before=scissor_button)

[buoyant mural]

it's still the same...

[twin rapids]

this is one of my old projects i decided to continue can any help why the clock is not working?

from tkinter import *

window = Tk()
bar = Canvas(window, height=800, width=800)
button = Button(window, border="1.5", text = "Menu")
foldersys = Button(window, text = "Files", border="1.5")
clock = Label(window, text = "Old")

def update():
    clock.config(text = "New")

bar.create_rectangle(0, 350, 800, 400, outline = "#C0C0C0", fill="#C0C0C0")
window.geometry("800x400")
bar.pack(side=TOP) 
button.place(x = 10, y = 358)
foldersys.place(x = 85, y = 358)
clock.place(x = 0, y = 0)
clock.pack()

clock.after(1000, update)

window.resizable(width = False, height = False)
window.mainloop()

[tawdry mulch]

What are you doing here

[twin rapids]

a little computer

the clock is supposed to to be on the lower right corner

[tawdry mulch]

The canvas is hiding the the label

[tawdry mulch]

what clock

[twin rapids]

the clock label

that updates

[tawdry mulch]

Avoid place(), use grid() pls

[twin rapids]

idk how to use grid

[tawdry mulch]

Learn it, its not hard

[twin rapids]

o

ok*

i get this error

tkinter.TclError: cannot use geometry manager grid inside . which already has slaves managed by pack

[tawdry mulch]

Either pack() or grid(). Not both together

Hello, how can I put colored words in a text box, for example "def", I would like them to be in red.

[tawdry mulch]

[digital rose]

in the text box

like I type "def" automatically it turns red

@median valley Please don't try to ping @everyone or @here. Your message has been removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let staff know!

[swift galleon]

I don't know how but I've just fu***ed the image

[swift galleon]

the image is cursed now

[arctic mango]

It looks interesting

[tidal isle]

thats SUS... show code

[swift galleon]

the original image is just red

[swift galleon]

ok I am using DPG (DearPyGui) btw

wait

its 500 longer than it should be

[arctic mango]

Ah, nice

[swift galleon]

I can make it smaller by removing un needed tabs

[swift galleon]

I mean its 500 letters than Discord massege should be

[arctic mango]

Oh, I was referring to the fact you use Dear PyGUI

[swift galleon]

I will use that technology if this doesn't work

[arctic mango]

Most of the people I've seen doing GUI end up with Tkinter

[swift galleon]

what was the past technology for sending large code ?

!sending larg code

nah not this

[modern marsh]

!paste

[proven basin]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pydis.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[modern marsh]

@swift galleon

[swift galleon]

oh yeah thanks this is what I was talking about

[swift galleon]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uboqojelex.yaml

I am using PIL to make the image bigger

[tidal isle]

yep out of my league

srry

[swift galleon]

np XD

[swift galleon]

I am using PIL to make the image bigger because if I scale it using DPG this will happen

it will be really low quallity

its like bloaring

[tidal isle]

i cant crop an image properly so.......

[fluid fiber]

hey everyone

I have a few buttons, and I want to change all of their sizes (not as in update them in a different size) from what I set, how can I do this?

[tidal isle]

destroy and pack them again mybe

or mybe config if u hv use height and width

[fluid fiber]

found it, I use this code

    child.configure(width=15)```

[still zinc]

How would you explain a beginner what:

from tkinter import *

means?

[mortal marten]

you are just importing everything from tkinter

like all the classes

thats how you import stuff from other scripts or modules in python

so that you can use functions and classes from those modules in your own code

[still zinc]

👍
If its that simple why do we not do the same for other modules? is it because it gets slower to execute or something?
I have only seen this command more in tkinter

[tawdry mulch]

No, the difference is minute.

[lime monolith]

I would point them to https://python-forum.io/thread-4.html

!tags star-imports

[proven basin]

Star / Wildcard imports

Wildcard imports are import statements in the form from <module_name> import *. What imports like these do is that they import everything [1] from the module into the current module's namespace [2]. This allows you to use names defined in the imported module without prefixing the module's name.

Example:

>>> from math import *
>>> sin(pi / 2)
1.0

This is discouraged, for various reasons:

Example:

>>> from custom_sin import sin
>>> from math import *
>>> sin(pi / 2)  # uses sin from math rather than your custom sin

• Potential namespace collision. Names defined from a previous import might get shadowed by a wildcard import.
• Causes ambiguity. From the example, it is unclear which sin function is actually being used. From the Zen of Python [3]: Explicit is better than implicit.
• Makes import order significant, which they shouldn't. Certain IDE's sort import functionality may end up breaking code due to namespace collision.

How should you import?

• Import the module under the module's namespace (Only import the name of the module, and names defined in the module can be used by prefixing the module's name)

>>> import math
>>> math.sin(math.pi / 2)

• Explicitly import certain names from the module

>>> from math import sin, pi
>>> sin(pi / 2)

Conclusion: Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! [3]

[1] If the module defines the variable __all__, the names defined in __all__ will get imported by the wildcard import, otherwise all the names in the module get imported (except for names with a leading underscore)
[2] Namespaces and scopes
[3] Zen of Python

[still zinc]

This is very helpful, thanks!

I am making an app using tkinter and py2app

but I am getting an error on launch

[serene mason]

Hello I currently have this code:

        functins = Functionalities()
        print(functions.configuration)

        self.title("#blablabla")

        icon = Image.open("logo.jpg")
        icon = icon.resize((400, 250), Image.ANTIALIAS)
        icon = ImageTk.PhotoImage(icon)


        # Style and Resize

        window = style.master

        self.bind("<Key>", self.on_press)

        # Frames

        OptionsFrame(self).grid(row=1, column=0, sticky="WE")
        ViewFrame(self).grid(row=1, column=1, rowspan=2, pady=3)  # columnspan=1)

    def on_press(self, event):
        global hidden
        if event.keysym == 'Insert':
            hidden = not hidden
        if hidden:
            print("Trying")
            MainFrame.grid_remove(self)
            OptionsFrame.grid_remove(self)
            ViewFrame.grid_remove(self)
            HiddenFrame.grid(self)
            print("Done")
        else:
            MainFrame(self).grid()
            MainFrame(self).grid()
            OptionsFrame(self).grid()
            ViewFrame(self).grid()
            HiddenFrame(self).grid_remove()

The problem is.. I am trying to hide these 3 frames when the user presses Insert, then show these frames again when hidden is False.

My biggest problem is that the grid_remove is not working properly... and I don't know what the problem is..
I actually already tried doing?
MainFrame(self).grid_remove()
that doesn't work either.

The print statements do execute... it just doesn't hide the frames

[broken shard]

Hey, I need help with Pyqt.
I'm learning it actually. I did a class for a button, so

class MyButton(QPushButton):
    def keyPressEvent(self, a0: QtGui.QKeyEvent) -> Qt.Key_Escape:
        self.close()

But if I type Esc, the button

button5 = MyButton('class PushButton', self)
button5.setFont(QFont('Arial', 9))
button5.setStyleSheet('QPushButton {color: darkgrey;}')
button5.move(350, 450)
button5.clicked.connect(button4.close)``` 
don't close itself. But I type on on this Button 
```py
button4 = QPushButton('exit button', self)
button4.setFont(QFont('Arial', 11))
button4.setStyleSheet('QPushButton {color: darkgrey;}')
button4.move(50, 150)
button4.clicked.connect(button4.close)
button4.setToolTip('<b>hide<b> the <b>button<b>')```
and then press Esc, then button5 close itself. How can I fix that the button5 close itself without click on button4 at first

[lime monolith]

Don't use star imports (see above).
Avoid using global - make hidden an attribute of HelloWorld.
Don't use grid on the creation of a widget, do it separately so a reference to the widget can be kept.
keep a reference to the frames as an attribute of HelloWorld so grid can be called on the instances.

Binding button-1 to a button? Why not command.

[lime monolith]

I choose to show the example using separate methods for the creation and the binding of widgets.

[tawdry mulch]

Is there any reason for it? It is terrible practice to do this, when button can execute a function with command. Just seems unnecessary.

[buoyant mural]

Do you have any solutions for me? So how can I change the colors of other Button-x when I press Button-y?

[tawdry mulch]

You can always call config on the button, you want to change

[buoyant mural]

but when i do it like this: scissor_button = Button(fenster, text="Schere",bg="pink3",fg="white",height= 3, width=10,command=scissor_action,command=scissor_colour) i always get this error: File "c:/Users/Florian/Documents/PexxiouSwift OS/2021/Programmieren/Python/Schere Stein Papier/0.01.py", line 48 scissor_button = Button(fenster, text="Schere",bg="pink3",fg="white",height= 3, width=10,command=scissor_action,command=scissor_colour) ^ SyntaxError: keyword argument repeated PS C:\Users\Florian\Documents\PexxiouSwift OS\2021\Programmieren\Python\Schere Stein Papier> @tawdry mulch

ah thank you very much (again 😅 )

[lost dragon]

Random Tip for tkinter on windows (and perhaps other GUI libraries that do not implement this behavior)

try:
    app_id = "company.product" # Arbitrary String
    ctypes.windll.shell32.SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID(app_id)  # Show app icon in taskbar
    ctypes.windll.shcore.SetProcessDpiAwareness(1)  # Make dpi aware
except AttributeError: # For Systems that do not support this
    pass

It shows your app's icon in the taskbar instead of the host process's (python) and makes your program DPI aware

[knotty vigil]

Thanks a lot man.....can you help me make it?

[lost dragon]

Nope, think you should learn by yourself.

[knotty vigil]

The thing is am having too much atm, am making bots for my site and they need to be deployed soon and this project has to be submitted by this week end

[lost dragon]

Sorry, can't help.

[knotty vigil]

Umm no worries thanks for the tip!!

[storm flare]

Is tkinter good for creating guis

[mighty rock]

It does the job

[storm flare]

alright

[scenic gale]

I'd recommend using a help channel...ppl will eventually help you with your any problem you're facing

[knotty vigil]

Naah they also said the same things...Well ig I have to take sometime to learn it....😶

Thanks btw

[tawdry mulch]

You can get this done easily, if you are willing to pay some money, but for free? I dont think any sane person will be willing to help.

[knotty vigil]

Ill see that bcs atm am short on money and time both but lets see if am not able to do it then ill pay some1

[solar nest]

woot, gotta love those initial steps of success.

now to just add directionality, locations, and bells and whistles

[proud walrus]

What you used here?

[solar nest]

@proud walrus numpy and tkinter

and PIL

[proud walrus]

Wait, you used mumpy and PIL to make this gradient?

[solar nest]

yeah, I just build out a 2d array within the bounds of x,y based on the volume input, then I flatten the 2d array into a gradient, and make a tkinter window the same size as the image and bobs your uncle

[proud walrus]

Bobs my uncle…?

[solar nest]

what I am working on now is making the gradiation come from corners and other directions, and to apply trig and linear algebra to the bounds of the color channels, then I can flatten them into hex based pixel maps

@brazen ferrya lol, sorry. coloquialism, it means it is as easy as that

@proud walrus **

[proud walrus]

I lost you at the mathematics.

[solar nest]

@proud walrus this is my personal project to teach me the mathematics

[proud walrus]

But it’s really nice! The most creative thing I did on tkinter is animations.

[solar nest]

I'm doing it for a data science project that I want 7d gradient channels for

[proud walrus]

7d gradients? I don’t know what it means but cool

[solar nest]

that is just what I am calling it. I don't know what it means yet either. lmao

[proud walrus]

Oh lmao.

I thought it’s another mathematics thing.

[solar nest]

yeah, it is basically just proximity generated layered color points that populate in between complex visual controls/displays

[proud walrus]

Oh. Man, I wish I knew mathematics. It seems like it can do mad cool stuff.

[solar nest]

numpy simplifies just about everything between algebra I and Calculus down to for loops

[proud walrus]

All them 3D engines and algorithms make math seem cool. Although school make it pain 😦

[solar nest]

I'm not playing with 3d stuff, this is just my excuse to steal more cores with a single window. lol

[proud walrus]

Yeah, I know. I’m just generally talking about math and programming…. Sorry for drifting off.

When you finish it, will u post it somewhere? I’ll might use this.

[solar nest]

no worries, I know that likely if I push it out if it is any good at 2d, someone will immediately try and put it on a 3d thing. but I also am not a mathematician.

I'm planning on pushing it to github once I have it base level functional

[proud walrus]

Cool.

[solar nest]

btw, if you wanna play around with this yourself, PIL.Image.fromarray takes an array and converts it to a pixelmap

and you can set the image file as a label in tkinter to make it the background

the rest is numpy stuff. lol

[proud walrus]

Really? I didn’t know I can do that.

[solar nest]

def boom_window(x : int = 0, y : int = 0, gradient : Image = None):
    root = Tk()
    root.title('window')

    root.geometry(f'{x}x{y}')

    bg = ImageTk.PhotoImage(gradient)

    window_bg = Label(root, image = bg)
    window_bg.place(x=0, y=0, relwidth = 1, relheight= 1)

    root.mainloop()
    

[proud walrus]

BTW random question, what design you like? flat or skeuomorphic (I think this is how it’s called)

[solar nest]

no idea. I'm a hacker not a dev, lol

[proud walrus]

?

[solar nest]

I'm self taught, I don't know much about design practices and principles or styles

I just type code

[proud walrus]

No I’m talking about ur looks. Flat design is like discord’s design where everything is just flat, like just a drawing. Skeuomorphic is when an icon (or something else) represents it’s real-life counterpart. Like Apple’s IOS 6

[proud walrus]

Me too.

I’m self taught.

ah, these days? I prefer flat design, the extra texture is just more visual information than is required and unnecessary texture/depth layers causes visual fatigue

that didn't used to be so much of an issue, but everyone is swapping between 5 apps on 2 devices 15 hours a day these days

so adding highlights is just asking peoples eyes to adjust as rapidly as their brain can

[proud walrus]

I can see what you mean. I think it’s just more full and less boring than flat designs. Flat designs tend to get boring to me after a while.

[solar nest]

you can get around that by simplifying youir control scheme, but that inevitably leads to a convoluted workflow for your end user

because they have to open sub windows to reach buttons that flat designs can just put on the same page

I think realistically, if it is a large decision point in your design scheme, you should design both and let the user toggle between them. it is more work but that way you don't hobble yourself to the users that will want it later

[proud walrus]

I’m talking about UI design, not UX. I’m talking about just the looks.

[solar nest]

yeah, but the looks decides the density of controls on your total area

so it has an exponential, if subtle effect on the UX

maybe not actually in the backend, but your end user will think it does

[proud walrus]

Maybe. At the end of the day, giving the user the ability to choose between them is the best design.

[solar nest]

definitely the least efficient though. haha

[proud walrus]

Yes

Or just use neumorphic design….

Which looks mad nice.

[solar nest]

true, but I only really like that in a touch interface

[proud walrus]

I think it’s good for both

[solar nest]

the thing I was trying to say with these complex controls, is that your controls are going to all have a radius increase in relation to the depth of the drop shadows and things to make sure they adjust for font size correctly

so each button and tab and slider may look cicular and slim, but are actually more pixel area

[proud walrus]

Which design are u talking about?

[solar nest]

everything but flat really

[proud walrus]

Oh.

[solar nest]

since flat doesnt apply depth

[proud walrus]

Well, it really depends on how much depth u give it.

[solar nest]

but the depth is an aesthetic decision, not a functional one

you can't arbitrarily decide depth and make it look good, only certain ranges will look right

[proud walrus]

Hmmm. Ur right.

Well it’s not entirely like that in nuemorphic designs, since it’s a mix of both flat and skeuomorphic.

[solar nest]

realistically, if your environment is doing things like detecting display resolutions and adjusting for density, these are problems you have likely already solved

[proud walrus]

Yeah. Although it’s really ez to design on a flat design, since there’s much less detail.

[solar nest]

that is a feature not a bug

[proud walrus]

Exaaaaactly

Lmao

[solar nest]

plus, if you keep your flat design simple, a few hours with a graphic designer can get you any scheme you want

[proud walrus]

Yeah.

I can imagine it being cheaper if you having someone else do it for you.

[solar nest]

it depends how much you value your time and what your current confidence with graphic design is

for a personal project at least, but for a startup. definitely worth contracting a temp designed from the onset and consider keeping them handy

[proud walrus]

Yeah, but most of the time, flat design is just buttons with rounded edges and text on them.

[solar nest]

but really the only difference between flat and neumorphic is that one has multiple ico files for its controls instead of hex color ranges

that and the general bounds of the window and layout of the control, but its all arbitrary

just make it purdy and make sure your users can change some visual settings. thats good enough

[proud walrus]

Yes, exactly.

[digital rose]

sorry to interrupt, have you worked with beeware library ?

[solar nest]

me? nope

[proud walrus]

Nope, sorry.

[digital rose]

then, do you know any library for executable code which is often used?

[proud walrus]

@solar nest I’m gonna take a good night sleep. It was fun talking with you. Good night!

[solar nest]

have a good one, nice meeting you!

[proud walrus]

Bye bye.

[solar nest]

in what context? are you looking to compile python code into executables?

[digital rose]

yes

and i read the top libraries for that

[solar nest]

lol, then you want to look at pyinstaller

it is native and builtin, python is an intermediate language its precompiler can compile itself
