[wxPython-users] Help me with a nudge in the right direction

[Christopher Barker]

Peter,

You may want to give FloatCanvas a look, it'll take care of a fair bit 
of the book keeping for you. Their is an old-ish version in 
wx.lib.floatcanvas, but there is a newer one with extra demos at:

http://www.mithis.com/~chrisb/

You can send questions to me or the floatcanvas list (preferred):

With DCs, DrawSpline is about it. (and FloatCanvas has a Spline object)

You might want to check out the new GraphicsContext -- I haven't used it 
yet, but it designed to provide more control over drawing that DCs, 
including path-based drawing.
