Creating a Drag and Drop Interface for Images in wxPython

Firstly, this is what I'm trying to make with wxPython. I would like the region labeled "Picture 1" to be able to accept a dragged image, and then when an image is dragged there, be replaced with a thumbnail of that image. I have researched "Drag and Drop" in wxPython, but I can't seem to find the tools needed for me to do this.
Any help getting me started on the right track would be greatly appreciated.

You will want the Pillow package for creating a thumbnail. The other piece you will want is most likely the wx.FileDropTarget class. I ended up doing the following:
import os
import wx
from PIL import Image
from wx.lib.pubsub import pub
PhotoMaxSize = 240
class DropTarget(wx.FileDropTarget):
def __init__(self, widget):
wx.FileDropTarget.__init__(self)
self.widget = widget
def OnDropFiles(self, x, y, filenames):
print(filenames)
image = Image.open(filenames[0])
image.thumbnail((PhotoMaxSize, PhotoMaxSize))
image.save('thumbnail.png')
pub.sendMessage('dnd', filepath='thumbnail.png')
return True
class PhotoCtrl(wx.App):
def __init__(self, redirect=False, filename=None):
wx.App.__init__(self, redirect, filename)
self.frame = wx.Frame(None, title='Photo Control')
self.panel = wx.Panel(self.frame)
pub.subscribe(self.update_image_on_dnd, 'dnd')
self.PhotoMaxSize = 240
self.createWidgets()
self.frame.Show()
def createWidgets(self):
instructions = 'Browse for an image'
img = wx.Image(240,240)
self.imageCtrl = wx.StaticBitmap(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY,
wx.Bitmap(img))
filedroptarget = DropTarget(self)
self.imageCtrl.SetDropTarget(filedroptarget)
instructLbl = wx.StaticText(self.panel, label=instructions)
self.photoTxt = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, size=(200,-1))
browseBtn = wx.Button(self.panel, label='Browse')
browseBtn.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onBrowse)
self.mainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
self.mainSizer.Add(wx.StaticLine(self.panel, wx.ID_ANY),
0, wx.ALL|wx.EXPAND, 5)
self.mainSizer.Add(instructLbl, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
self.mainSizer.Add(self.imageCtrl, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
self.sizer.Add(self.photoTxt, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
self.sizer.Add(browseBtn, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
self.mainSizer.Add(self.sizer, 0, wx.ALL, 5)
self.panel.SetSizer(self.mainSizer)
self.mainSizer.Fit(self.frame)
self.panel.Layout()
def onBrowse(self, event):
"""
Browse for file
"""
wildcard = "JPEG files (*.jpg)|*.jpg"
dialog = wx.FileDialog(None, "Choose a file",
wildcard=wildcard,
style=wx.OPEN)
if dialog.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
self.photoTxt.SetValue(dialog.GetPath())
dialog.Destroy()
self.onView()
def update_image_on_dnd(self, filepath):
self.onView(filepath=filepath)
def onView(self, filepath=None):
if not filepath:
filepath = self.photoTxt.GetValue()
img = wx.Image(filepath, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY)
# scale the image, preserving the aspect ratio
W = img.GetWidth()
H = img.GetHeight()
if W > H:
NewW = self.PhotoMaxSize
NewH = self.PhotoMaxSize * H / W
else:
NewH = self.PhotoMaxSize
NewW = self.PhotoMaxSize * W / H
img = img.Scale(NewW,NewH)
self.imageCtrl.SetBitmap(wx.Bitmap(img))
self.panel.Refresh()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = PhotoCtrl()
app.MainLoop()
This worked for me on Windows 7 with wxPython 4. Note that I am dragging a file from Windows Explorer onto my wxPython application's image widget.

Change background color of a Canvas ScaledText

I'm using wxPython Canvas' AddScaledTextBox(...) to create a scaled Text Box.
See here for example:
Box = Canvas.AddScaledTextBox("A Two Line\nString",
Point,
2,
BackgroundColor = "Yellow",
LineColor = "Red",
LineStyle = "Solid",
PadSize = 5,
Family = wx.TELETYPE,
Position = 'bl')
How to change the Background color, later, after the textbox has been defined? (for example user input => background color change)

Pretty sure this is a bug. See lines 1841 - 1845 in the wxPython source - there is a reference to self.BackgroundColor but it's never used.
So for your example, you need to set the color of the brush associated with the text box. I've based the following off of Robin Dunn's example. The function SetBoxBackground is the important part.
As noted in the comments, just calling box.Brush.SetColour(color) or box.Pen.SetColour(color) can cause issues: if you have two text boxes with the same color, changing the brush/pen color for one will also affect the other. (I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is because of caching, see for example this comment in the source.)
import wx
from wx.lib.floatcanvas import FloatCanvas
class TestFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.canvas = FloatCanvas.FloatCanvas(self, BackgroundColor = "black")
MainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
MainSizer.Add(self.canvas, 4, wx.EXPAND)
self.SetSizer(MainSizer)
self.box = self.canvas.AddScaledTextBox("A Two Line\nString",
(0,10),
2,
BackgroundColor = "Yellow",
LineColor = "Red",
LineStyle = "Solid",
PadSize = 5,
Family = wx.TELETYPE,
Position = 'bl')
self.box2 = self.canvas.AddScaledTextBox("Second Box",
(0,0),
2,
BackgroundColor = "Yellow",
LineColor = "Red",
LineStyle = "Solid",
PadSize = 5,
Family = wx.TELETYPE,
Position = 'bl')
self.box.Bind(FloatCanvas.EVT_FC_LEFT_DOWN, self.OnRectDown)
wx.CallAfter(self.canvas.ZoomToBB)
def OnRectDown(self, event):
print ('Rectangle: Left Button down clicked at:', event.HitCoords)
if self.box.Color == 'red':
self.SetBoxBackground('green', "Solid")
self.box.SetColor('black')
else:
self.SetBoxBackground('white', "Solid")
self.box.SetColor('red')
self.canvas.ClearBackground()
self.canvas.Refresh()
self.canvas.Draw(True)
def SetBoxBackground(self, color, style, linewidth=1):
# See https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxPython/blob/master/wx/lib/floatcanvas/FloatCanvas.py#L1841
# Create a new brush (fill) with specified color
self.box.SetBrush(color, style)
# Create a new pen (line) with specified color
self.box.SetPen(color, style, linewidth)
self.box.SetBackgroundColor(color) # Now this works correctly
app = wx.App(0)
frame = TestFrame(None, title="Test")
frame.Show(True)
app.MainLoop()

The ScaledTextBox class derives from TextObjectMixin which has SetColor and SetBackgroundColor methods.
Code:
import wx
from wx.lib.floatcanvas import FloatCanvas
class TestFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.canvas = FloatCanvas.FloatCanvas(self, BackgroundColor = "black")
MainSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
MainSizer.Add(self.canvas, 4, wx.EXPAND)
self.SetSizer(MainSizer)
self.A = self.canvas.AddScaledTextBox('yoda', (0,0), Position = 'tl', Alignment = 'center', PadSize = 10, Size = 15, Width = 150, BackgroundColor = 'white')
self.A.Bind(FloatCanvas.EVT_FC_LEFT_DOWN, self.OnRectDown)
wx.CallAfter(self.canvas.ZoomToBB)
def OnRectDown(self, event):
print 'Rectangle: Left Button down clicked at:', event.HitCoords
if self.A.Color == 'red':
self.A.SetColor('black')
else:
self.A.SetColor('red')
self.canvas.Draw(True)
app = wx.App(0)
frame = TestFrame(None, title="Test")
frame.Show(True)
app.MainLoop()
EDIT:
Forced a redraw of the canvas after the color change. Also, changing the background color isn't sticking for some reason, so I switched to demoing changing the text color.
Removed secondary edit because it was just creating a new text box instead of updating the original.

WxPython's ScrolledWindow element collapses to minimum size

I am using a Panel within a Frame to display images (the GUI need to switch between multiple panels and hence the hierarchy). As images should be displayed in native size I used ScrolledWindow as the panel parent. The scrolls do appear and work, but it causes the Panel to collapse to minimum size and it needs to be resized using drag&drop every time.
Is there a way around this?
Below is a reduced version of the code, which shows the problem:
import os
import wx
from wx.lib.pubsub import pub
class Edit_Panel(wx.PyScrolledWindow):
def __init__(self, parent):

You're calling Fit(), so you're explicitly asking the panel to fit its contents, but you don't specify the min/best size of this contents anywhere (AFAICS, there is a lot of code here, so I could be missing something).
If you want to use some minimal size for the panel, just set it using SetMinSize().

Modifying minimal width of left tab style of wx Python's agw LabelBook?

I'm trying to use wx Python's AGW LabelBook (using wxPython 2.8.11.0, Python 2.7.1+, Ubuntu 11.04), such that the tabs (list) are left-aligned; here I have some short texts, and I expected the tablist area would have its width shortened accordingly; but instead I get this:
At that mouse position, I get a sizer pointer - and I can drag it to the right to increase the width of the tablist area as much as I want; but I cannot drag it any further to the left, to make the width shorter. I also tried to use INB_FIT_LABELTEXT, but it doesn't seem to change anything...
Is it possible to somehow instruct LabelBook to set the minimal width of the left tablist area to the approx width of text (say, indicated at the drawn red line)?
This is the code I used to generate the screenshot:
import wx
import wx.lib.agw
import wx.lib.agw.labelbook as LB
from wx.lib.agw.fmresources import *
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, "Labelbook test")
self.tlbook = LB.LabelBook(self, -1, size=(400, 200), style = wx.NB_LEFT, agwStyle = INB_LEFT | INB_FIT_LABELTEXT | INB_FIT_BUTTON | INB_SHOW_ONLY_TEXT | INB_USE_PIN_BUTTON)
sizer_1 = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.tlbook_panel_1 = wx.Panel(self.tlbook)
self.tlbook_panel_2 = wx.Panel(self.tlbook)
self.tlbook.AddPage(self.tlbook_panel_1, "Test 1")
self.tlbook.AddPage(self.tlbook_panel_2, "Test 2")
sizer_1.Add(self.tlbook, 1, wx.EXPAND, 0)
self.SetSizer(sizer_1)
sizer_1.Fit(self)
self.SetSize((450, 250))
self.Layout()
app = wx.App(0)
frame = MyFrame(None)
app.SetTopWindow(frame)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

Ok, I think I got it:
... and the thing is, that the width of the tab area is hardcoded in the source for LabelBook as 100 pixels, but not all in the same class - so some monkeypatching is required, if one wants to leave the source in tact. Here is the code:

wxPython ScrolledWindow too small

I have a panel to control editing of a matplotlib graph in a wxPython frame. The wxPython install was recently updated to 2.8.12.1 from 2.6.4.0 and it broke a few things, namely, the scroll panel no longer fills a block but instead stays at a minimum size. I'm just now picking this up from a year ago so I'm a bit rusty. Any help would be much appreciated!
Below is a stripped-down version of the code that can be run on its own and displays the problem. The ScrolledWindow should expand up to 400px. When I run it self.scroll.GetSize() returns (292, 257) but it clearly is not displaying at that size.

lineBoxSizer.Add(self.scroll, 1, wx.EXPAND)
boxSizer.Add(lineBoxSizer, 1, wx.EXPAND)
self.SetSizer(boxSizer)
self.SetAutoLayout(1)
#self.Fit()
height = self.GetSize().GetHeight()
self.SetSizeHints(minH=height, maxH=height,
minW=width, maxW=width*5)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = wx.App(False)
plot = FakePlot()
frame = PlotEditFrame(None, plot, size=(300,300))
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
The main thing was to set the proportion to "1" on the following two lines:
lineBoxSizer.Add(self.scroll, 1, wx.EXPAND)
boxSizer.Add(lineBoxSizer, 1, wx.EXPAND)
I changed the way you start the program as it's a little silly to put a frame inside another frame for this case. Also PySimpleApp is deprecated, so I changed that too. I have almost never found a good use for the "Fit()" method, so I took that out as it was squashing the initial GUI too much.
Hope that helps!
