It should have.

yes.

a wx.StaticBitmap will scale itself to the image you give it.

You probably do want to put all this on a wx.Panel, rather than straight =

on the Frame, but it should work as is.

A few comments:

You've go t a lot of sizers in there -- yo may be preparing for a more =

complex layout but you don't need nearly that many now. start simple and =

add as you go. You might also want to look at:

wx.GridSizer
wx.FlexGridSizer
wx.GridBagSizer

which may make your layout easier.

Also, do check out:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/wxPython_Style_Guide

It will give you some good ideas how to write more readable code.

All that being said, enclosed is a version that works, Note that:

  self.topSizer
  self.middleSizer
  self.bottomSizer

Are unnecessary, but I left them in, in case you were planning on doing =

more with them.
