[ocean shoal]

i'm using SQLite with tkinter (library not cmd line), how do I delete a record based off of its variable name?
its a bill tracker app, and there are 2 columns.. bill_name and cost

right now I have something like:

def delete_bill_func():
get_selected = tree.selection()
tree.delete(get_selected)

c.execute("DELETE FROM bills WHERE bill_name=get_selected")

the conn.commit() comes later in the main body of the code

[fluid tinsel]

forgot to delete it.
solved it by adding two QVBoxLayouts to a QHBoxLayout

Hey if I wanted to write a program for work to scan an entire GitHub server and basically get data on each repo, branches, pull requests, etc. How would I do that? I have git but cannot obtain any outside software besides Python packages

[summer delta]

How can I build modular CLIs with argparse? With modular I mean depending of the flags the user sets in the CLI certain other flags are required?

[polar reef]

I'm doing some image processing on video streams using cv2 and tkinter

Currently have it working on thread creating an instance of the video input, performing operations on it and interacting with the GUI

I was looking into extending the application to read, perform operations and show multiple video sources concurrently

Main
  > launches GUI instance
          ^
  > launches main thread to communicate with Tkinter gui
          ^
      launches X processing threads which will perform operations
          ^
        each processing thread creates it's own input_instance

Would something like this be feasible? As I understand it tkinter doesnt work with multithreading, so I cant just create more threads doing the work, as I understand I need to create a separate thread which takes input from the processing threads and sends it to the tkinter gui using some queue?

Let me know if I'm not explaining myself clearly

It is possible to add a OpenCV Video window to a TKinter window, right?

How to make the address entry take the entire row?

Shouldn't setting the rowspan to 2 make it work? I don't understand.

[digital rose]

Nevermind.

[polar reef]

Needs sticky="nesw"

[polar reef]

I think tkinter can only display images, so you need to capture each frame from the video and convert it to an image and update tkinter

Someone correct me if im wrong

hi, I'm trying to make a project with graphical interface, but for some functions I need two inputs, so I created a function inside the interface object to receive input and one for output, but when I call them it creates another interface, I already tried call the object inside the function you need and call the functions of the same and even create a function inside the same file to see if it solved, but so far nothing, I'll put print of my code below and if anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it .

Width and height of a button are not in pixels

You can set an image to the button and that will force it to use pixels instead of text sizes as their units

Or just use a picture

[long olive]

I was using tkinter and made a child class from a widget. I used a stack overflow post to help me but I’m confused on why I had to use self[“someVar”] to change the variable of the button

Here’s my program

[boreal pier]

Bro. Don’t use replit for tkinter, that’s like using a cactus for a condom

[long olive]

Oh no I used an actual ide. I was just using it to share my project

Probably should have used GitHub but I have a replit account

It has multiple files so yeah

@boreal pier you familiar with tkinter or any other library that does this?

Can you help me ?

[fiery plover]

Hopefully there's someone here with some recent experience with using Glade to create a GTK3 UI for PyGObject. I'm just wondering if there's a way to create these MenuToolButtons without them being split into two parts like in this picture. Clicking the 'File' label does nothign but the dropdown button opens the menu. I want to get rid of the dropdown icon and have the menu appear when clicking the 'File' label. How do I achieve this? I kind of thought this would be the default way it'd work 😅

EDIT: Of course it was a dumb mistake. I used a GtkToolbar when I was actually after a GtkMenuBar 🤦‍♂️

[jolly flower]

[hazy lion]

how can i get rid of this white background from my transparent png

img0 = PhotoImage(file = f"img0.png")
b0 = Button(
    image = img0,
    borderwidth = 0,
    highlightthickness = 0,
    command = btn_clicked,
    relief = "flat")

b0.place(
    x = 3, y = 24,
    width = 243,
    height = 75)

[queen trout]

if its part of the actual image, then just delete it in an editor or something

are you sure its actually transparent is what im trying to say

[hazy lion]

yea im sure

im just going to add a background to the image thats the same color as whats behind it for now

[hazy lion]

https://gyazo.com/49310c80703e4494767592da0deb9bb8 how can i remove the clicking animation on this button so that it does not show a white border. I've tried changing the relief to sunken but then the white border displays in a deactivated state

b0 = Button(
    image = img0,
    borderwidth = 0,
    highlightthickness = 0,
    command = btn_clicked,
    relief = "flat")

[golden lance]

well if your a beginner to this you'll need something to make a UI with i recommend you start with TKinter, personally i learned using the tutorial on Freecodecamp

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXPyB4XeYLA&t=4012s

[queen trout]

I was just messing around with it and you should just be able to change the backround of the button, using either bg or background to the color of the other widget

youd have to also change the color for the activebackground as well though

[hazy lion]

k lemme try that

it worked thanks!

[queen trout]

yup no problem! I'm actually starting to learn tkinter as well. Ive been putting it off for a while

[tawdry mulch]

bad tutorial

[tawdry mulch]

One way is to set the bg of the button to be same as whatever the bg you want it to be. Otherwise use canvas images

[golden lance]

So what’s a good one

[tawdry mulch]

Not sure how good this is, but for sure better than the one by codemy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeeCrwgHYnw&list=PLXlKT56RD3kBUYQiG_jrAMOtm_SfPLvwR

Hey guys, question, have ever anyone of you made software for customer based on tkinter?

[final escarp]

I just convert my app to an installer and publish it to github

[plucky cosmos]

Hi, I'm making a software to export the pixel value of an image and for that I'm currently using this line of code :

(PyQT5)
self.ui.bitmap_data = asarray(self.ui.bitmap_label.bitmap_image)

I need this data to be on 16 bits (65536 values).
I know that in that line of code, the dtype is uint8, but I tried in many ways to make it uint16 and made a long research on StackOverFlow for people who had the same problem but when I tried the code that solved their problems it still didn't work for me.
So I need your help.
the output of the line of code above is something like this :

print(self.ui.bitmap_data, self.ui.bitmap_data.shape, self.ui.bitmap_data.dtype)

[[[233 233 233]
  [229 229 229]
  [226 226 226]
  ...
  [252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]]
 [[252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]
  ...
  [252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]]] (2500, 22500, 3) uint8

Here's the output when I use the astype() function to make it uint16 :

self.ui.bitmap_data = asarray(self.ui.bitmap_label.bitmap_image).astype("uint16")

print(self.ui.bitmap_data, self.ui.bitmap_data.shape, self.ui.bitmap_data.dtype)

[[[233 233 233]
  [229 229 229]
  [226 226 226]
  ...
 [[252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]
  ...
  [252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]
  [252 252 252]]] (2500, 22500, 3) uint16

I checked in the properties of the image, details section, color depth was 24.

[plush stream]

Use stretch maybe?

Widget with high stretch value will usually resize and the one with low stretch value will stay stationary.

[final escarp]

cool :)

[orchid moss]

What values should I set the stretch to? 1, 0?

[plush stream]

If you want the widget to stay then set it to 0, if you want it to resize then set it to about 5

[orchid moss]

It still resizes, even with stretch (5,0)...

[plush stream]

Can you show me how you add those stretch?

[orchid moss]

But it doesn't resize in QtDesigner

I do it in QtDesigner

And there it works

[plush stream]

Oh i see

I don't use qt designer sorry

Thank you anyway

Can I do the following thing with tkinter: A window that sits on top of other windows but doesn't take focus and is not clickable unless I hold a specific key like CTRL?

Or: A window that is not visible unless I hold a key like CTRL or TAB or whatever and then make it visible and clickable until I let go of that button again?

sit on top of other windows but doen't take focus possible, about 'not clickable' and other things Im not sure

Hey! I’m trying to write a program later that can detect when an exclaimation mark appears in a certain part of the screen which then clicks the mouse.

You'd need a trained model to find the pattern of the exclamation mark, and then let it search your screen for it

Hi all

[noble marsh]

so I want to run a method on my pysimplegui, using an input taken from a text box

essentially how do I turn a textbox input into a variable

            [sg.Input(key='-IN-')],
            [sg.Button('Enter'), sg.Button('Exit')],
            [sg.Text(indices.sample(10))]
         ]
   window = sg.Window("Spotify Recommender", layout, size = (500,500))
   while True:
     event, values = window.read()
     if event == "Exit" or event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
         break
     if event == 'Enter':
         spotRec = str(values)
         recommendation(spotRec)
        
   window.close()```

is what I have currently

[noble marsh]

atm I get KeyError: "{'-IN-': 'Music Is Math'}"

[noble marsh]

oh and this is recommendation

    index = indices[track_name]
    sig_scores = list(enumerate(sig[index]))
    sig_scores = sorted(sig_scores, key = lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
    sig_scores = sig_scores[1:11]
    spotify_indices = [i[0] for i in sig_scores]
    return spotifydf['artist_name'].iloc[spotify_indices]```

[noble marsh]

what I want/expect to happen is have it output a small list of the recommendations on screen on the GUI
I have confirmed it works outside of the GUI too

[tawdry mulch]

Just create a window, win = Toplevel() and use it just like you use your root

[tawdry mulch]

wheres the repo for this

so I changed it and and am getting a separated error

    event, values = window.read()
    if event == "Exit" or event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
        break
    if event == 'Enter':
        spotRec = str(values['-IN-'])
        recommendation(spotRec)
        window['-OUTPUT-'].update(value = spotifydf['artist_name'].iloc[spotify_indices])
        
        
window.close()

NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

I now get this

[plucky cosmos]

hi, I'm trying to remove blank spaces in my QLineEdit, any idea on how to do it ? I think I'm supposed to use ";" at the end of the inputmask but don't now what to put after it

[rocky dragon]

If you need a float you can use a QDoubleSpinBox instead of messing with a line edit

[plucky cosmos]

I ended up using this, works fine

self.lineEditYF.setValidator(QtGui.QRegExpValidator(QtCore.QRegExp("[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*|\.[0-9]+")))

[full brook]

I already discovered how tnx

[thick gulch]

If you're using a tkinter.Entry, you can use the .get() method to get whatever's in it as a string.

For example:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
button = tk.Button(action=callback) # Whenever the button's pressed, the 'callback' function will activate
entry = tk.Entry()


def callback():
  print("Entry text: " + entry.get())

button.pack()
entry.pack()
root.mainloop()

[tawdry mulch]

I'm not the one who asked the question

[tawdry mulch]

Anyway, there is no action option for tkinter button, it's called command

[thick gulch]

oh yeah you're right

[snow snow]

Has anybody tried to use tkinter with pygame and if so were there any issues?

[boreal pier]

Probably no issues if you exclude extreme forms of torture and suffering from Integrating and debugging

Tkinter has a way with breaking your idea and shattering it into microscopic pieces and then putting them into a nice little crash

[snow snow]

lol I've started to notice that.

[boreal pier]

Try Qt if you want personal or expensive public app or do PySimpleGui

[prisma otter]

can we use PySide6 for mobile apps ??

[stray jackal]

@snow snow that is actually on my to-do list , Tkinter + Pygame

[tawdry mulch]

What r u planning? I've used the mixer from pygame along with tkinter

[stray jackal]

@snow snow pygame to simulate cell phone screen , also use it for a hi-res display for a 8 bit ADC + GPIO( digital in ) logic display , not super fast , but proof of concept

[snow snow]

I'm trying to embed a pygame window into tkinter

[snow snow]

that sounds interesting, is this for something public?

[stray jackal]

@snow snow im not a very PYTHONIC coder ( im a sloppy coder , still learning )

@i ran out of LEDs , switches , so i use pyserial and Tkinter for a control panel

[snow snow]

I'm still learning as well, so were in the same boat .

[stray jackal]

@snow snow lots of new MCUs out there , but its a hassle to start over , need to learn multi thread in PY3

@snow snow need to try pygame on a raspi 3

Random question
Does anyone know what font this is?

Setting a default for nosuchelementexception for multiple variables in python
So I am scrapping multiple rows of a table and many of them are either available or not for different pages. What I want to do is to detect which field is not available and supply it on a variable and set a default variable i.e., None to it. For eg,

try:
        field1 = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, value="somexpath")
        field2 = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, value="somexpath")
        field3 = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, value="somexpath")
        field4 = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, value="somexpath")
        field5 = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, value="somexpath")

        dict_ = {"field1":field1, "field2": field2.....}

except NoSuchElementException:
       # some code to detect which element not found and supply a default value None to it
       defaultVaule = None

Hey, I just started learning tkinter and I can't figure out why my program never enters my loop.

Code:

def jump(event):
  print("jump")
  t = 0
  while t<0:
    print("loop")
root.bind("<space>", jump)```
Output (on pressing space):
`jump`

[covert sun]

well its not going to be in the loop since you already set the t to 0

and the statement says while t is less than 0

[lofty berry]

Yeah someone answered me in another place lol i'm dumb thanks

[lofty berry]

Hey, I've got another question! Inside that while loop, I'm trying to reprint an oval that I've previously put on the page. However, the oval only prints when it's first created and at the end of the while loop, instead of continuously printing during the loop. How do I make it print continuously?

Here's what I run to create the oval:

player = my_canvas.create_oval(x,y,x+diam,y+diam)

And here's the while loop:

def jump(event):
    t = 0
    while t<=.5:
        print("loop")
        shrink_val = diam*t

        x0, y0, x1, y1 = my_canvas.coords(player)
        my_canvas.coords(player, x0, y0+(diam*t), x1, y1)
        t+=.25
        sleep(.25)
        print("t = ", t)

Here's everything you should need to recreate this part of my code:

from tkinter import *
from time import sleep

root = Tk()
root.geometry("800x600")

# player diameter
diam = 50
# Set canvas dimensions, player start location
canv_w = 600
canv_h = 600
x = canv_w//2
# y = 400-diam
y = canv_h//2

# Set up canvas space & starting spot
my_canvas = Canvas(root, width=canv_w, height=canv_h, bg="white")
my_canvas.pack(pady=20)
player = my_canvas.create_oval(x,y,x+diam,y+diam)

def jump(event):
    # print(my_canvas.coords(player))
    t = 0
    while t<=.5:
        print("loop")
        shrink_val = diam*t

        x0, y0, x1, y1 = my_canvas.coords(player)
        my_canvas.coords(player, x0, y0+(diam*t), x1, y1)
        # print(my_canvas.coords(player))
        t+=.25
        sleep(.25)

root.bind("<space>", jump)
root.mainloop()

Bro 0 is not less than 0

[lofty berry]

ik someone pointed that out to me lol

my problem now is different

[dapper plover]

from tkinter import *


root = Tk()

# Create Title
root.title( "Paint App ")

# specify size
root.geometry("500x350")

# define function when
# mouse double click is enabled
def paint( event ):
    
    # Co-ordinates.
    x1, y1, x2, y2 = ( event.x - 3 ),( event.y - 3 ), ( event.x + 3 ),( event.y + 3 )
    
    # Colour
    Colour = "#000fff000"
    
    # specify type of display
    w.create_line( x1, y1, x2,
                y2, fill = Colour )


# create canvas widget.
w = Canvas(root, width = 400, height = 250)

# call function when double
# click is enabled.
w.bind( "<B1-Motion>", paint )

# create label.
l = Label( root, text = "Double Click and Drag to draw." )
l.pack()
w.pack()

mainloop()

guys i found this code on geeksforgeeks, can someone explain what is the event in def paint()

[fallow olive]

reading where its used, i can suggest that w.bind does something with it when you double click

i don't use tkinter so, im not sure

but side note, i made this

[blazing pine]

pyqtgraph deosn't offer polar plots by default...how are you going about genereating them?

[fallow olive]

updated it to show your username in the title

[balmy tendon]

hello ! i'm on a project and i would like to know what the icons make you think of ?

if you have any idea of things to add on this screen please let me know

[fallow olive]

idk why but they remind me of windows 8.1

also i made this

lightweight spotify in pyqt5

[sinful pendant]

When using bind method, the first argument is the event, and 2nd argument is the function which will be called when that event happen, at that time an object is passed to to the function u provide in bind

[graceful frost]

Def paint is use for define function that what will main use in your program , and in the all arguments in def condition is decided what to do and to do.

[plush stream]

Is that qt?

oh nvm. you said it was made in qt after that message

i also made a music player in qt

[fallow olive]

has it got a name

[plush stream]

Yes! You can see it in the screenshot

You can visit the repo for more details

[fallow olive]

that's pretty cool, I'll look at it soon

What about adding spotify playback?

It's relatively easy to do

[plush stream]

Is it?

I don't know about that

What module do i have to use to embed a Spotify playback?

[fallow olive]

spotipy

@plush stream

https://github.com/plamere/spotipy

It's the one spotify tells you to use.

[plush stream]

Oh that one

[fallow olive]

yeah, i found it easy

[plush stream]

I've read that it can only play 30s of music?

[fallow olive]

nope?

[plush stream]

Or am i wrong?

[fallow olive]

do you not have premium

[plush stream]

Oh that's good then

I don't

[fallow olive]

Then that's why

[plush stream]

I don't use Spotify that much

[fallow olive]

also i updated my player now

[plush stream]

I might embed it to my app at some point, so thank you!

[fallow olive]

No problem!

if you want it to play, you'll need oauth2

but spotipy makes it easy

add a localhost redirect in your spotify app, to port 8000

spotipy handles the rest

i made playlists work now

[plush stream]

Looks amazing

[fallow olive]

not as good as yours

[plush stream]

Text should be white though. It's kinda hard to read

[fallow olive]

yeah.

i should do that

ty

[plush stream]

Don't worry. My first music player is also very shit. You only get better from there.

[fallow olive]

haha yeah

200 lines though

B)

That's better

[plush stream]

Much better

[fallow olive]

Any other design tips

[plush stream]

Layout and icons could get some work

[fallow olive]

Wouldn't know where to start with that

[plush stream]

This was my first music player in tkinter btw. It's order of magnitude worse than yours so...

[fallow olive]

oh, this isnt my first either

i deleted my first purely because of how bad it was

I want to change font, but what to

[plush stream]

No idea. Choosing font for gui is kind of hard. That's why i use something like figma for prototyping

[fallow olive]

i use the qt designer

[plush stream]

That works too

[fallow olive]

Problem is, some fonts don't work at all

[plush stream]

How come?

[fallow olive]

Either, they're unsupported, or I don't have the files for them

[plush stream]

Is this from qt designer?

[fallow olive]

Yeah

[plush stream]

Yeah idk

[fallow olive]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[plush stream]

Never used qt designer

[fallow olive]

I only use it because it's simple.

Hi! I'm struggling with Semantic UI grid, can anyone help or maybe recommend another alive discord to ask such things?)

I have 2 tables, on the same line of the grid, I want them to fill up browser window horizontally but if the window is too narrow (like smartphone screen) i want them stacked

But my current implementation does not work correctly. Shrinking browser window makes tables overlap each other and then tables are just stretched vertically in a very weird way

[digital rose]

that looks suuuuuuper good!

[plush stream]

Thank you!

I spend a lot of time making it. This made me happy, thank you

Hello! Im using tkinter and im having troubles tiwith creating a frame in a new window

[vernal flame]

Just a suggestion, try Pysimplegui

[digital rose]

you need flexbox

[vernal flame]

Is it a class of semantic ui?

[digital rose]

.container {
  display:flex;
  flex-wrap:wrap;
  justify-content:space-evenly;
  align-items: center;
}

[digital rose]

its css

im not familiar with semantic ui

but i know this css would make it work

.container is a class

you can apply to a div

[vernal flame]

I guess ui container does it in semantic ui

Hello guys

Hi folks,

On a CLI app, if args are an option but also config is an option, what are the best practices in terms of what takes priority if both are used?

[south dagger]

hi guys. i have a question. How to upload and download file using tkinter ?...(only localhost)

[smoky hinge]

you mean instead of having a variable you want to load that from a file ?
If that is the case you could do someting like

with open("data.txt", "r") as f:
    data = f.readlines()

data is your variable tat contains the file context
data.txt is your file which you can name it anything

ofc, there is much cleaner and better way on using that but you can start small I suppose 😄

hi i have a question

i'm doing a basic text editor and i want to make an open file function

my aim is to open the text file in the screen but it does appear several errors

i try this code but it doesn't appear in my tkinter screen. It executes in notepad

[thick gulch]

Do you want to be able to edit the text? If so use tkinter.Text rather than tkinter.Label

Here's something I made a while ago (it's not the best but it works):

def open_file(*_):
    # Open a file in reading mode
    f = tkinter.askopenfile(mode="r")

    if f is not None:
        # Read the file and replace text-box text with its contents
        content = f.read()
        text_box.delete("1.0", tk.END)
        text_box.insert("1.0", chars=content)

[spice drift]

thankss man. I couldn't understand certain things.

but it worked!!!

Hello guys, I have a question regarding GUI. I have a python program, which is basically an Etl. It gets data from database and exports in CSV then loads these files to some other database. I have basically a couple of hard coded variables like IP, username, password etc. A couple of libraries are used, like pandas etc. I am thinking of creating some GUI for this where I would be able to enter this data and run. Is there any framework you would suggest?

I did use .setMouseTracking(True) for MainWindow but it wasn't working.

It only worked as expected when I used .setMouseTracking(True) for the central widget as well.

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle('Events')
        self.setMouseTracking(True)
        self.label = QLabel('Click in this window.')
        self.label.setMouseTracking(True)
        self.setCentralWidget(self.label)

[glossy hemlock]

@mighty frigate Could you explain what this section of code does?

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()

I want to know how does it differ from just super().__init__().

[tribal path]

just that super() isn't py2 valid

or rather py3 super() by default uses though args

hey can somebody give me a hint, I' searching for a gui framework and found pyimgui and dearpygui. Both are bindings for Dear ImGui, so whats the library I should choose?

[tawdry mulch]

I don't understand

[glossy hemlock]

I haven't used pyimgui or DearImGui before but you should probably choose something that fits your needs.

I doubt there is a clear-cut answer to what you are asking.

If you can't decide, you should try using both and compare them.

That's probably the best way.

Anyone know why this argparse code breaks out of the loop? Minimal example:

def start(self):
        self.__b_keep_running = True
        while self.__b_keep_running:
            user_input = self.__promptUser()  # Just an input() method
            self.__input_handler.parseAndRunUserInput(user_input)

# __input_handler.parseAndRunUserInput(...)
def parseAndRunUserInput(self, user_input: str):
        args = self.__parser.parse_args(user_input.split())
        args.func(args) 
        # Should now return to while loop in start()

Seems like the args.func breaks the loop, though I am unsure why this is the case?

EDIT: Seems that this is only the case if I enter argparse-related input. I.e.
:> connect --port /dev/usbwhatever --baud 1234
can both run fine and fail gracefully while going back to the while loop, but
:> connect -h
Makes argparse output the help description, but then shuts down
:> asdfasdfasdf
Makes argparse output possible inputs, but then shuts down

Hi, I'm looking for some recommandations of good plotting and (separately, they don't need to be the same at all) 3D plotting libraries for a personal project because I'm not sure what's most appropriate for this:

1. A module for 2D plotting where I can change things and it recomputes the graph (like if I move/drag a control point it recomputes the curve with the new coordinates). I believe Bokeh can do this but I was wondering if there are other alternatives.

2. A module for 3D plotting of simple shapes (think a parametric curve or a scatter plot, though the more proper graphics the better) where it can change over time (to show the evolution of position over time) and where I can "move the camera" at least to some extent.

Context: I'm doing a big school project on Bézier curves and I'd like a program to display them (hence 1, 3D isn't needed but that option wouldn't hurt) and another one to simulate a roller-coaster travelling on a path defined by them and to be able to show it move on the curve over time.

[static cove]

so my instinct is to suggest pyqtgraph because it has that kind of interactivity

[static cove]

I haven't really seen functional GUIs work out when they get more complex tbh. Classes extend really well the GUIs because you do need to track state and it's easy to represent widgets and objects as classes

nope

its just ' '

so
i have two classes
quizpage15 and quizfinal
i want the label (enunt0) in finalquiz to be updated and display your points
but (i think) its initialized when cnt variable is 0
and i dont know how to update it

def output():
    if(var1.get() == 1):
        Label(tk, text="SELECTED", font="Times 20").grid(row=1, column=0)
        apple_entry = Entry(tk, width=10).grid(row=2, column=0)
     
        x = int(apple_var.get())
        Label(tk, text=x, font="Times 20").grid(row=3, column=0)

var1 = IntVar()
apple_var = StringVar()

apple = Checkbutton(tk, text="Apple", variable=var1, onvalue=1, offvalue=0, command=output).grid(row=0, column=0)

why isn't this working?

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

this is the error

but on line 6 above I have converted the datatype

from string to int

[eager beacon]

Why would apple_var be anything other than ''?

[tropic cape]

what’s a good GUI library that has cross platform support?

besides Tkinter - i don’t really like it

I’ve heard of PyQT and wxPython, but have never used them

[eager beacon]

PyQt

I've never used wxPython, but the Qt bindings have a much larger user base, so it's easier to find tutorials/answers

[tropic cape]

Hmm, i see

thank you!

[lyric phoenix]

well I need it to be an integer

I tried using IntVar() but uh it doesn't update the value

[eager beacon]

The problem is you never assign apple_var to anything.

[lyric phoenix]

Oh, I got the solution now, I just had to update the variable with a button, thanks for the help

[visual marsh]

Have not worked with PyQT, but PySide, which is also Qt bindings. As I understand they are almost interchangeable. Definetly had an easier time to navigate and find resources for it compared to wx. A whole lot of help is for C++ though, but you will get the general idea.

[mighty frigate]

Qt is probably the biggest and best documented UI lib out there

[sudden coral]

The main C++ documentation is good but the PySide equivalent documentation tends to be behind, sometimes with examples still in C++ copied over from the original documentation. So, understanding basic syntax of C++ (which is not a tall order) is quite helpful.

Maybe things have improved over the couple of years since I've last really looked into it.

[hearty bone]

In Qt Designer how do you make it so when you click a push button it will go to a new nested window? (not open a new window but like clicking a settings icon to get into a settings menu)

[mighty frigate]

why would you need a python doc ?

it's exactly the same as the C++ doc, but the C++ doc has types

just ignore them and ptr and you'll be fine

[jolly flower]

Do you mean like a tab or an actual new section of a window

You have the choice of being managed to make tabs in the Qt Designer or you just have to create another design which will contain the "nested" settings window and by clicking the button the main window will execute the file that has the settings window

Also im sure there is an actual solution for this but in that case since you did not explain that much

[sudden coral]

It is not exactly the same as the C++ docs. Python doesn't have any of the macros as far as I know. There are naming differences: some names are prefixed with underscores to avoid conflicts with Python built-ins, some namespaces are a bit different (regarding enums IIRC), snake_case is used instead of camelCase, properties can be set directly instead of using setter functions. Furthermore, there are examples in the docs and it would of course be nicer for a Python developer to read examples in Python than in C++.

[rocky dragon]

snake_case and proprtiers are optional features, by default the interfaces should be the same

Though I've had a case where the stubs and c++ docs disagreed on a type, still not sure on which one was right as the library couldn't do a type conversion so I went with an another approach

[tropic cape]

Hi, I'm wondering what colours go well with this gradient?

I feel that white components with black text is a little bland.

[rocky dragon]

bland's good, no worries about colors for people with a visual impairment

[hearty bone]

I mean like you click on a webpage and you go into that page. But you can still hit the back arrow to go back to the main menu.

[tropic cape]

Aren't there specific applications out there which alter the colour profile of a display to accommodate for such individuals?

That feels far simpler than every application adjusting for such impairment.

[rocky dragon]

That probably only works to a certain degree, I don't have that much experience with it myself, but software like games wouldn't implement their own settings for it it a simple overlay was sufficient

[tropic cape]

Of course - but, for example, Windows has built-in settings to adjust the colour profile for a particular type of colour impairment.

And I'm certain there are a few 3rd party applications out there for such thing

[rocky dragon]

And well, it's still a degraded experience compared to having simpler gui elements

[tropic cape]

Don't most (modern) websites and applications thrive off of minimalistic components and blended colours?

[rocky dragon]

I think most sites are mostly monochromatic, with only using colors for highlights of more important actions and where they have a clear distinction with the background. But they should still have colour corrections for them

At least personally I'd definitely prefer a simpler style, from your screenshot it's apparent what does what from the symbols alone so I don't think styling it with colours would add much to it. The only thing that feels a bit out of place is that I'd maybe expect the buttons to be somewhere lower instead of the middle of the window

[tropic cape]

Ye they'll be in an expandable sidebar, I'm just fooling about atm.

[dusky lichen]

hey bros

does anyone know how to use a button in top level?

where do i use the def to create the command for the button

[hoary canopy]

I’m making a test using tkinter. The screen is wiped and loaded in a for loop. How do I wait for the button to be pressed before moving onto the next question?

[slate moss]

Is there a way to make modern UI's for mobile apps? Like, that doesn't look like it was made in 1990?

(In python ofc)

[hoary canopy]

Kivy has been recommended to me before

[tawdry mulch]

The function has to be where the button has access to that function

[tawdry mulch]

The command of the button triggers a function to be called..?

[hoary canopy]

But how do I wait for that function to be called.

[tawdry mulch]

What do you mean wait? If you say Button(...,command=func), func wont be executed till you click the button

[hoary canopy]

def bar():
Some code to make button appear
Some code to wait for the button to be pressed

Def foo():
For x in range(10):
bar()

[digital rose]

https://github.com/TomSchimansky/CustomTkinter/wiki/CTkProgressBar this a progress bar for a custom edited tkinter to look better, whats the way i can make it add 0.01 to value for example every second?

[hoary canopy]

Put the progressbar.set(value) in a for loop with a time.sleep at the end

[tawdry mulch]

There is no need to wait for the button to be pressed

[tawdry mulch]

time.sleep will freeze your mainloop and GUI

[pseudo fern]

Hey people- sorry if this is a basic question, but I'm trying to make a simple tool that interacts with some excel data, and as part of this, I want to present the user with some plots for data analysis. This should all be done through a GUI, and right now, I feel a bit stuck. I've heard good things about QT, but is this really the best module for showing varying amounts of chart data? I guess another option would be something web-based

But I wouldn't even know where to begin with that- would prefer to stick to python since I plan to use Pandas for organizing the data. If anyone has any input on what would typically be used for a user interface that can be scaled dynamically depending on content, that would be much appreciated

Hi, I'm exploring an optimization algorithm in python and I'm having a hard time understanding it, and in order to do so I would like to monitor several metrics. To that end I would like to build a small "hub" that would allow me to update plots and text boxes dinamically. I'm running everything on jupyter lab, so it would be amazing if it were compatible with jupyter. I would try pyqt5 but even with the jupyter backend it's not good because the event loop makes the kernel busy all the time and I'm unable to run other cells. What tool would you reccommend for this case?

[limber tusk]

i am trying to create a text input box using kivy but my kv file does not seem to work

#:kivy 1.0.9

# orientation: 'horizontal'
orientation: 'vertical'
<Button>:
    size_hint: 1, 0.95
    text: 'test button'
<MyTextInput>:
    id: text_input
    size_hint: 0.5, None
    text_hint: 'input message...'
    multiline: True
    height: self.minimum_height

did I format my file incorrectly?

kivy.require("1.0.9")




class MyTextInput(TextInput):
    def on_text_validate(self):
        App.get_running_app().root.ids.text_input.text = ''

    def insert_text(self, substring, from_undo=False):
        if substring == '\n':
            substring = ''
            self.dispatch('on_text_validate')
        return super(MyTextInput, self).insert_text(substring, from_undo)


class Test(BoxLayout):
    pass


class TestApp(App):
    def build(self):
        t = Test()
        return t


if __name__ == '__main__':
    TestApp().run()

my kv file is named chat.kv and my python file is named ChatMojiView.py

[digital rose]

hi

[digital rose]

pls weekly

[tribal path]

you're missing a line in the kv and would need to be 'test.kv' or would need to load it

[brazen thicket]

@limber tusk right now you're not telling it what you want to put inside Test.
Call your kv file test.kv (ie, the App's class name without the "App" suffix).
Change it to ```
#:kivy 1.0.9

<Test>:
# orientation: 'horizontal'
orientation: 'vertical'
Button:
size_hint: 1, 0.95
text: 'test button'
MyTextInput:
...```

[brazen thicket]

note the brackets around Test but not Button / MyTextInput.
<Test> is sort of equivalent to class Test: : it defines what a Test is (if you already have class Test: in your .py file, the two combine together)
Button without the brackets, makes an instance of the already-defined class Button.
So this kv code: <Test>: Button: size_hint: 1, 0.95 text: 'test button' is roughly equivalent to adding this to your python code: ```py
class Test(BoxLayout):

def __init__(self, **kwargs):
    b = Button(size_hint=(1, 0.95), text='test button')
    self.add_widget(b)```

[lyric phoenix]

how do I create a scrollbar for the whole window in tkinter using the .grid() function?

[digital rose]

use scrollbar with the root window and then use grid in the normal way to display it. What exactly is the issue?

[lyric phoenix]

for example

from tkinter import *

tk = Tk()
scrollbar = Scrollbar(tk)
scrollbar.grid(row=0, column=0, side = RIGHT, fill = Y )

mylist = Listbox(tk, yscrollcommand = scrollbar.set )
for line in range(100):
   mylist.insert(END, "This is line number " + str(line))

mylist.grid(row=0, column=1, side = LEFT, fill = BOTH )
scrollbar.config( ommand = mylist.yview )

tk.mainloop()

this is the code

self.tk.call(
_tkinter.TclError: bad option "-side": must be -column, -columnspan, -in, -ipadx, -ipady, -padx, -pady, -row, -rowspan, or -sticky

and this is the error

[digital rose]

seems like a simple error to workout

replace your -side with sticky is probably best

if you want it to be on the right handside you want like sticky = 'E' I think

[lyric phoenix]

okay that seemed to work, but there's another error with fill

[digital rose]

have you gone to this site?https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/tk_grid.htm

[lyric phoenix]

yes

[digital rose]

so fill isn't an option for grid

if you wanted it to fill the entire cell you could do a sticky like 'EW'#

which would make the scrollbar fit the entire column

[lyric phoenix]

It worked

thanks

[digital rose]

no problem, i think the tutorials point for tkinter is really good.

[lyric phoenix]

ye they are

thanks again

[buoyant fulcrum]

Hi! Could someone please give me advice about my GUI

it's the window that will open when the program crashes

but I am unsure what and how to style it

so far I put the exception, and checked for missing files

[brazen thicket]

@buoyant fulcrum
I would add a label to the text box, for visual structure (just "Details:" is fine).
Left-align the error message.
Maybe review the sizing, less whitespace (unless you can't make it grow for long error messages), and the text box should be comfortably big.
A "Copy" button would be nice. If not, make sure the text box makes it convenient to copy even if the content is very long.
Also include a reminder of the path to the log file if there's one.
OK button in centre or right. Left is typically for Cancel / Previous

[buoyant fulcrum]

Thank you

All that sounds perfect, I'm changing it now

[lofty pond]

depends on how complicated you are putting things on your tkinter window, the place method is a great but it is static, I would recommend using grid or pack, grid for more complicated things

[short jewel]

hello guys, i have a question regarting Matplotlib and Tkinter,

I have been trying to display the different Technical Indicators on the different canvases within the same page on tkinter.

I got it to work when I used fig, (ax1, ax2, ax3) = plt.subplot...

The problem with that, is that I need those same animatons to renter within the different canvases, not on the same plot.

so i made multiple canvases for them

 frame_chart = tk.LabelFrame(self, self.frame_styles, text="EMA Cross")
        frame_chart.place(rely=0.05, relx=0.4, relheight=0.30, relwidth=0.55)
        self.canvas_chart = tk.Canvas(frame_chart, bg="#D5D5D5")
        self.canvas_chart.pack(expand=True, fill="both")

        frame_chart2 = tk.LabelFrame(self, self.frame_styles, text="RSI")
        frame_chart2.place(rely=0.35, relx=0.4, relheight=0.30, relwidth=0.55)
        self.canvas_chart2 = tk.Canvas(frame_chart2, bg="#D5D5D5")
        self.canvas_chart2.pack(expand=True, fill="both")

        frame_chart3 = tk.LabelFrame(self, self.frame_styles, text="BBand")
        frame_chart3.place(rely=0.65, relx=0.4, relheight=0.30, relwidth=0.55)
        self.canvas_chart3 = tk.Canvas(frame_chart3, bg="#D5D5D5")
        self.canvas_chart3.pack(expand=True, fill="both")

but matplotlib is only rendering the plot to frame_chart even tho i have instucted it to plot to all three

is there a way I can render an 1 animaton with 3 subplot2grid? or is it impossible\

i also asked on stackoverflow if you want more insight

help would be much appreciated

if you wanted that, then leave tkinter NOW and use PyQt instead.

[sharp reef]

You could replicate if but i just suggest using a more powerful ui lib

Like said above, qt is great for styling, gtk apps using the inbuilt adwaita thenes also looks clean out of the box but most people using it don't really deviate from the default looks

[restive quail]

any libraries anyone would recomend? i played around with pyqt4 before but i'm hearing its being discontinued and i reinstalled my OS so got nothing

Ik Tkinter is a thing but i'm not that masochistic

[lofty pond]

dearpygui is one you can look at

[restive quail]

once the thingy called when u dont have to write the thing through code, but have a program to build the ui and then u can compile it

graphical editor? i think those are the words i was looking for 😅

seems like dear imgui doesn't have it? it looks sexy but i'm really bad at deciphering front end logic 😅

pyqt5 or 6

[restive quail]

there is qt6 now? 😄

[mighty frigate]

@restive quailyes it's been a few months

[digital rose]

continue with Qt5 or 6, you should never use tkinter.

[plush stream]

in some extent, yes

though you will need to access windows' private api to blur a window such as in the picture

i recommend you to use a ui framework such as qt for creating modern UIs in python. you can of course do it in tkinter but it's going to be harder to customize due to its lacking ability to provide a flexible styling system.

[digital rose]

also keep in your mind you can't do any blur using tkinter unless you should get image includes blur.

I saw in the urwid documentation that the 'attwrap' class what I'm ussing is deprecated, instead of this... should I use 'widgetwrap' class or is not the same?

[lusty ridge]

how can i make a custom combobox in tkinter. something like this

[limber tusk]

i'm still stumped on this so if anyone knows please @ me 😄

[digital rose]

You can use ttk

[digital rose]

or give a look at class 'EOptionSelector' class in folder ETK at __init__.py file.

[digital rose]

sorry, i don't know kivy

[digital rose]

i have a program that i used tkinter with and it wont even run outside pycharm, i used pyinstaller for it and turned it to exe and it shows a error that it can not find a file that is in temp while temp doesn't even have the folder it states that the file exists there

[digital rose]

u can use custom tkinter, it has all of these ready

[digital rose]

please, post your code and error

code is not my issue

the code perfectly runs

but it does not run outside pycharm

and when i turn it to exe it gives a file not found error

yeah ik, maybe you didn't put root.mainloop()

if i can see your code then i can see how to fix because all errors are came from the code.

[digital rose]

my brother

the code

runs good

im not a monkey

i added root mainloop

the issue is not the code

it's the venv issue

i cant run outside a venv envi

[gloomy prawn]

are there any GUI libs for python android development other than Kivy?

[mighty frigate]

I believe Qt has things for android

namely QtQuick

see here : https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android.html

[gloomy prawn]

oh ok

like can it be compiled to an APK (or an AAB) easily? or is it like pyqtdeploy which is a pain to get working

nope... dont think so... PySide doesnt have Qt 5 support yet and PyQt5 only has pyqtdeploy. and i believe QtQuick (QtQuick is C++) does have Python bindings in PyQt5 but it still uses pyqtdeploy

[mighty frigate]

I have no idea

I never worked on an android project

all I know is you can make an android app with Qt

[gloomy prawn]

Kivy gives me crazy headaches
everything is on the bottom left and everything is stretched and theres basically no way to place a widget on the right side of the screen unless u do some funky stuff

[digital rose]

actually yes it is

[digital rose]

also here are most of the tkinter widgets on windows 11
i didn't put some of them but it just shows that it is possible, and it just involves as little as 1 import statement

Does anyone have any advice for working with threads?

I am writing an application that displays the mandelbrot set

the mandelbrot computation is quite heavy, so each time i zoom or pan it takes about a second for the pixels to be calculated

I had a solution going with QThread, but I think I was it doing it completely wrong because the ui wouldn't work while the frame was being recalculated, which defeats the whole purpose of the thread

I must also consider that a new frame may be requested before the next one is even calculated yet, so I would need to cancel the pending task, and issue the new one

Is there a standard way of working with threads when doing something like this?

I understand that QThreadPool is intended to handle multiple small tasks simultaneously, but in my case it would only be the one thread that's needed at a time

[pulsar cipher]

i need some help with Tkinter in #help-apple

[rocky dragon]

How were you submitting the work to it? Cancellation is also tricky with threads

[turbid crow]

I have the worker subclassing Qthread, and I pass in the main window as the parent

then I set the data as the parent's attribute

and the thread finishing is connected to the window's function that draws the image

though I think I may have seen that the method I connect to can take in the data being emitted as an argument to the function?

[rocky dragon]

Could you show the code?

[turbid crow]

oh yes it does seem to work, I was doing a weird workaround

I think i've also fixed the threading a little, since it actually threads now and the gui main thread is free

class Mandelbrot(QThread):
    finished = Signal(np.ndarray)
    started = Signal()

    def __init__(self, parent, delta, scale):
        super(Mandelbrot, self).__init__(parent)
        self.delta = delta
        self.scale = scale

        self.started.connect(parent.hourglass_cursor())
        self.finished.connect(parent.arrow_cursor())
        self.finished.connect(parent.draw)
        self.finished.connect(self.quit)

    def run(self):
        self.started.emit()
        # find the mandelbrot set
        self.finished.emit(div_time) # div_time is the mandelbrot image

Is it alright to connect the sockets inside of here rather than the main window class?

class Window(QWidget):
    ...

    def display(self):
        if self.calc_thread and self.calc_thread.isRunning(): # My attempt at canceling a running thread before it is finished if a new output is requested
            self.calc_thread.quit()
        self.calc_thread = Mandelbrot(self, delta=self.delta, scale=self.scale)
        self.calc_thread.start()

    def draw(self, data):
        self.data = data
        # update the window image

[rocky dragon]

Connecting in the thread should be fine, yes; the init is running in the thread that instantiated it anyway. finished and started are both signals that should already exist on QThread, so your started is unnecessary, and I'd probably rename the finished so it doesn't shadow the Qt signal. Also, quit won't do anything if the thread is not running an event loop (started with exec)

The only way to handle cancellation would be to tell the thread to quit in some way (e.g. a flag/requestInterruption) and then have the thread check for that at points where it can exit itself

[turbid crow]

do I still have to emit the started signal or is it done for me?

[rocky dragon]

it should be emitted before it starts executing run

[turbid crow]

okay and what about if I want to connect a method to it starting?

in the case of self.started.connect(parent.hourglass_cursor())

[rocky dragon]

Should work fine, the only thing you won't be able to do is emit it yourself

[turbid crow]

is the signal called started?

started is one of its methods

so I'm getting

self.started.connect(parent.hourglass_cursor())
# Cannot find reference 'connect' in 'function'

[rocky dragon]

Should be

i've just tested it, it's working although the warning from pycharm

Hello, anyone can give some suggestion on how to record a QtWidgets and save it to a video file?
I tried grabbing said QWidget with QWidget.grab and converted it to pixmap. it does work with momentary capture (like screenshot) but it doesnt work with video recording.
QPainter detected a recursive painting

[proper glade]

does anyone know how to report a pyqt bug? i tried the mailing list but my post didnt go through

[proper glade]

tools such as ffmpeg can take individual frames from standard input and stitch them as a video. so you could try feeding the images into an ffmpeg process using subprocess.Popen

aside from that, a plain old screen recording program like sharex is a good bet

i wonder if you could automate sharex via command line to recording a specific portion of the screen. that way you can set it up to record the rect of the widget.

[north cobalt]

strictly speaking, its the "image" part that confuses me.
I've tried to grab QWidget using its grab() function. it does work for something like screenshot
but when I tried to use that same grab() for video recording (by putting it to cv2 videowriter) somehow it spits out QPaint recursive.

I'll try to look into sharex

[proper glade]

what kind of widget is this? does it have its own custom painting method?

[north cobalt]

a QWidget for a yolo object detection.
Qpaint is used to draw bounding box for the objects

[proper glade]

in that case i think there's probably a check you need to put in the paint method to make it reentrant

one sec

[north cobalt]

do you need the repo?

[proper glade]

oh sure the repo could be helpful

i did a bit of googling and found this https://stackoverflow.com/a/19246651

apparently the check you need involves painter.device()

by comparing that to self

so i believe ```c++
if ( this == qobject_cast< QWidget * >( painter.device() ) )
{
// Do grabbing
}

becomes
```py
if painter.device() is self:
  ...

[north cobalt]

https://github.com/razhterize/yolov5qt
it's in widget_camera under x86_64 branch

[proper glade]

where do the calls to grab happen?

[north cobalt]

during

 while self.opened:
                rec_src = QPixmap(self.grab(QRect(0,0,self.sw, self.sh))).toImage()
                s = rec_src.bits().asstring(self.sw * self.sh * 4)
                arr = np.fromstring(s, dtype=np.uint8).reshape((self.sh, self.sw, 4)) 
                self.writer.write(arr)
                time.sleep(wait)

in widget_camera

[proper glade]

whats the full error message of the recursive paint event?

is there a traceback?

[north cobalt]

there are no tracebacks, but this is the output when I run it

[2022-06-11 14:21:02,618] [140716743321152] Video writer run
QWidget::repaint: Recursive repaint detected
QWidget::repaint: Recursive repaint detected
QWidget::repaint: Recursive repaint detected
Turn off camera

still havent implemented method to grab QWidget you've sent earlier

[proper glade]

im not really seeing what could be triggering a recursive paint event tbh

though one thing that comes to mind is grab is probably not threadsafe

[north cobalt]

so, try to run it from main gui thread I guess?

[proper glade]

maybe it's not able to differentiate paint events occurring in separate threads

so when the paint event from grab occurs it thinks its happening inside the main one

[proper glade]

yeah, maybe set up some kind of signal that emits a frame from paint every nth second or something

and only have the grab occur there, + the check with painter.device

[north cobalt]

alright, I'll try it

[digital rose]

i am late, but why not putting screenshot about the error you got ?

[tranquil oyster]

Guys, I am using Tkinter, and upon the start of the program, it shows a messagebox if its the first time use by the user. But the issue is that a root Tk window shows beside the message box as well, and if that is not closed, it starts to mess up other window's widgets. How can I not make it appear in the first place?

This is the first function that gets executed:

def create_pass():
    showwarning("First Time Run", "Looks like you are running File/Folder Hider for the first time.\n\nIn order to ensure that it is only you that has access to this script, please create a master password in the next dialog box.")
    return create_pass_dialog_box()```
The execution stops at `showwarning()` because the user has to press OK for it to proceed, but even before clicking the OK button, the root window appears alongside the warning messagebox out of nowhere.

Ping or reply to me if you have answers please!

[mighty rock]

@tranquil oyster If it is the first time user opens the program, before creating the root Tk, show the message box

[tranquil oyster]

What root Tk? This is literally the first function that gets executed, before this function, it checks if there's a file which is used by it already available, if not, that means its first time, and the above function gets executed which shows the message box. There's no Tk dialog box being made here.

[mighty rock]

You mean the message box doesn't block with its event loop?

Well then maybe you can loop and sleep until the message box is destroyed

[digital rose]

root.withdraw() ?

[tranquil oyster]

Withdraw what root? There's no dialog box being created here, just a messagebox.

[digital rose]

ah ic

maybe create a one and make it disappear so you should see only one window and a messagebox, then make that window withdraw().

def create_pass():
    app = Tk(); app.withdraw()
    showwarning("First Time Run", "Looks like you are running File/Folder Hider for the first time.\n\nIn order to ensure that it is only you that has access to this script, please create a master password in the next dialog box.")
    app.destroy()
    return create_pass_dialog_box()

so you can control that random window @tranquil oyster

but if I remove InitWindow, it works as intended

[rocky dragon]

your label that occupies the whole window doesn't have mouse tracking

[turbid crow]

that's annoying

Is there a way I can track it over the label?

just enable mouse tracking on it

the event will propagate

        self.layout().addWidget(QPushButton("test"))


App = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
sys.exit(App.exec())

getting this weird result when I run this code

One of the buttons is behind the other. I would have expected them to be side by side because of the HBoxLayout. And what's up with the size?

if I change it to the following, they don't show at all

self.box_layout.addWidget(QPushButton("test2"))
self.box_layout.addWidget(QPushButton("test"))

what am I missing here

[rocky dragon]

afaik, with a main window you need a central widget set with setCentralWidget and then set the layout on that

    def InitUI(self):
        self.central_widget = QWidget()
        self.box_layout = QHBoxLayout(self.central_widget)
        self.box_layout.addWidget(QPushButton("test2"))
        self.box_layout.addWidget(QPushButton("test"))
        self.setCentralWidget(self.central_widget)

something like this

So the blue key is currently hovered over. How do you all recommend I indicate which of these keys are enabled/disabled? Not enough room for checkboxes, so I was thinking of tinting it red if it's disabled and keeping the default color if it's enabled, but I'm not sure

[sudden coral]

Grey out the keys if they're disabled

[ionic nacelle]

can someone explain layout to me, my main objective is to have my application to be resizable. I watched a lot of videos but I still can't make it resizable,

[mighty frigate]

with Qt I guess

[ionic nacelle]

wdym by qt

[mighty frigate]

@ionic nacelleyou asked me about Qt earlier so I suppose your talking about layout in Qt ?

by resizable, do you mean responsive design ?

[ionic nacelle]

yeah

[mighty frigate]

like, having a specific layout for phone, one for tablet, and another for PC ?

or you just want to resize on PC

[ionic nacelle]

oh no, I meant like lets say user wants to use 1/4th of the screen for my application, everything is resized or a scroll bar is added

[mighty frigate]

yeah ok

QtWidgets ?

(there's multiple UI lib in Qt, namely QtWidgets and QtQuick)

in QtWidgets, all UI components (buttons, frame, everything) is a QWidget, which is the base class. Those widgets can be organized in layouts.
There's 3 (4 I guess) main layouts : QVBoxLayout(Vertical), QHBoxLayout(Horizontal), and QGridlayout (you guessed it... grid)
Any widgets (or most widgets I should say) can have a layout, which can contains other widgets.

so, to answer your original question : layouts are just components whose job is to organize widget a certain way

[ionic nacelle]

is there a way to fill the top part with brown color

I've used layout to get that brown color

[weak tree]

Could someone help me out with getting images to scale correctly in PyQt5?

The image code is:

self.image = QtWidgets.QLabel(self.centralwidget) self.image.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(780, 30, 650, 450)) self.image.setText("") self.image.setPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap()) self.image.setScaledContents(False) self.image.setWordWrap(False) self.image.setObjectName("image")

The issue is if the image is larger than the set geometry, the rest of it gets cropped out. How would I get it to scale while keeping the correct ratio, while making sure it fits the geometry?

[vast tiger]

So how should I indicate that the keys on the end, which cannot be modified?

I tried something with tinting it red

Maybe a lighter grey? But the red looks okay now that you have an example

[turbid crow]

can you do anything like hatching, or a pattern?

[vast tiger]

What do you mean?

Like lines on it?

I'm not sure I could, and if I could I'm not sure how it'd look

Qt uses a very limited subset of CSS

[vast tiger]

If I made the red ones gray, do you have any ideas for how I could convey the ends?

The only reason I have the ends is because it'd look weird for the black to just hang off like that

[turbid crow]

how does the css look like for the red?

[vast tiger]

But I guess I could remove the black ones too

[vast tiger]

QPushButton[key_enabled="false"][piano_key="white"]:!hover {
    background-color: rgb(255, 189, 189);
}

QPushButton[key_enabled="false"][piano_key="black"]:!hover {
    background-color: rgb(80, 0, 1);
    border-color: rgb(80, 0, 1);
}

[sudden coral]

I did mention you can use different shades of grey to distinguish them but otherwise I don't know.

[vast tiger]

Oh my bad, I did not see that

Maybe I could just remove the black notes

So I guess I should give some context

This program I wrote can only detect piano values between C#2 and C#7

So it's between 2 black notes

I added the gray notes since otherwise the black note would just be hanging there

But I guess I could remove those two end notes and make the limit D2 to C7

[sudden coral]

That would be clearer if you are willing to make that sacrifice

[vast tiger]

Yea

Thank you all for the advice

Now I know what I must do

[median bridge]

text = ""

e = Text(window, width = 15, height = 2, font = ("Times New Roman", 24))
e.grid(column = 0, row = 0, columnspan=5)

    e.delete("1.0", "end")
    text = ""

def delete():
    e.delete("end-2c")

def equal():
    global text
    global operand
    operand = "equal"
    try:
        text = str(eval(text))
        e.delete("1.0", "end")
        e.insert("1.0", text)
    except:
        clear()
        e.insert("1.0", "Error")

def show_value(val):
    global text
    text+=str(val)
    e.insert(END, val)

I currently made a calculator. How would I go about changing code here so when the user presses the equals and then press a number button, it doesn't join in with the current value?

@versed dew https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14817210/using-buttons-in-tkinter-to-navigate-to-different-pages-of-the-application I did come across this page which seems to have a few suggestions. I'm not familiar enough with tkinter design patterns to really know what the best approach is. I know that in kivy there's a couple of proper widgets specifically for that sort of thing, though that doesn't necessarily help you with the tkinter side of things. I'm sorry you got the response you did, earlier. I saw that and thought, "Yeah, that's a little bit shitty."

Research is an acquired skill, granted, but yeesh.

Rude.

[versed dew]

lol don't worry, thanks a lot for the stack overflow question, i'll have a look

I liked the unpack option. That seemed like something leveragable in some way.

What sort of pages? Pages of widgets, or pages of information in widgets?

[versed dew]

yeah, honestly i am just starting out with the whole GUI thing and i quite like it too be honest. keep in mind the learning curves are still there though

[versed dew]

i was thinking kind of like an app, you press a button, whole different page comes up
