[wxPython-users] ANN: FlatNotebook Control For wxPython ;-)

[Kevin Ollivier]

Hi Andrea,

Cool, I have been looking forward to seeing this control in wxPython!  
However, it has problems on Mac. (No, seriously! ;-) Although, it's  
not with the control itself, it's something to do with the images.

I have to admit I'm baffled by this one - it's the annoying "image  
height doesn't match image width" assert, but in this case, the  
height and width of the PNG files do seem to match. So I wonder if  
for some reason wxMac can't read the PNG files? The assertion I'm  
getting is:

wx._core.PyAssertionError: C++ assertion "(bitmap.GetWidth() ==  
m_width && bitmap.GetHeight() == m_height) || (m_width == 0 &&  
m_height == 0)" failed in /BUILD/wxPython-src-2.6.3.3/src/mac/carbon/ 
imaglist.cpp(88): invalid bitmap size in wxImageList: this might work  
on this platform but definitely won't under Windows.

I've never seen this before on Mac when loading an image whose  
dimensions were equal. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks,

Kevin
