Re: GUI design in Python


I just posted a GID Community blog entitled: GUI design in Python.

Quote:
Many times, making a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for a program can be a pain. You have to either mess around with Microsoft products (e.g. Visual Studio), you have to find a useful GUI designer (e.g. Qt or FLTK), or you have to figure out how to hand code the GUI.

Python is somewhat unique in that, not only can you use pre-built, cross-platform libraries such as wxGlade, you can also just use Tkinter, the Tk/TCL-based GUI library that comes with every Python language download. read more...

Please let me know what you think.

Re: GUI design in Python


thanks for that. I tried out the examples on linux and the TK one looked pretty feeble. Wx looked good though. Have you ever tried pyFLTK?

I haven't tried it, though I have heard about it. The one that seems pretty popular right now on the Python newsgroup is PyQT, so I might take a look at that sometime.

I know the Tkinter version looks lame; I've since revised it to look more like the wx version but I haven't updated the tutorial. The main problem when I wrote them was that I didn't know how to make text boxes in Tkinter output text; the Tkinter documentation only talks about using labels (as I used) for static text output. After looking at the wx version and doing some more research I figured it out.

The tutorial is mainly to show how the two GUI libraries compare in the code style, not necessarily the actual GUI look. I'm glad you liked the tutorial.
