[wxPython-users] still can't figure out how to display images.

[Christopher Barker]

First read these:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/RecipesImagesAndGraphics

Then consider: There are essentially two ways to display an image.

1) Using a wx.StaticBitmap
2) Drawing the image to a wx.Window (or wx.Panel) with a wx.DC.

The first is easier, the second gives you more control. For your =

purposes, a StaticBitmap is probably fine.

Enclosed is a little sample code that may help you figure it out. It =

doesn't seem to work with wxPython2.8 on OS-X, but it does work with =

wxPython2.6 -- I don't have time to debug it now, sorry.

The size is going to be the size of the image. If you need to re-size =

it, you can use wx.Image methods to do so. See the enclosed example.

The Location is set the same way as for any widget. Your best bet is to =

use Sizers. They take some doing to wrap your brain around, but it's =

worth it.

PS: Please don't use MDI -- it's just my opinion, but I HATE all MDI =

apps, and even MS has abandoned it. It also doesn't work on any other =

platform. Check out wx.Aui for a much better option, or just use =

multiple top-level Frames.
