[wxPython-users] OGL smart shape position in a canvas

[Christopher Barker]

Marco,

I know you've found your way to the FloatCanvas list, but I thought I'd 
address these here for the archives:

FloatCanvas has no auto-positioning, but I don't think OGL does either :-(

> The problem is that the FloatCanvas is not draggable...

You can make dragable objects with FloatCanvas, but it's not built-in 
"out of the box"

> Is possible to bind a mouse event to every FloatCanvas elements?

Yes, that's easy -- you can bind any of the mouse events to the Canvas 
itself, or to just the objects you want clickable.

However, I don't know enough about your app to say if FloatCanvas or OGL 
is a better choice. In short, I think OGL provides better support for 
"lines-connecting-boxes", and FloatCanvas better support for arbitrary 
coordinates and zooming and panning.

-Chris
