[wxPython-users] Hello

[Al Niessner]

Well I got it working finally.

for pic in pics:
    input = StringIO.StringIO(pic.getThumb())
    index = self._thumbList.Add (wx.BitmapFromImage (self._pilToImg
(Image.open (input))))
    self.Thumbs.InsertImageItem (index, index)

where
self.Thumbs = wx.ListCtrl(self.window_2_pane_1, -1, style=wx.LC_ICON|
wx.LC_NO_HEADER|wx.SUNKEN_BORDER)
self._thumbList = wx.ImageList(120, 120)
self.Thumbs.SetImageList (self._thumbList, wx.IMAGE_LIST_NORMAL)

It was the creation of Thumbs that I simply had to get right. After I
did, it all worked well.

Some of the thumbs are 120x90 or 120x90, but I use
thumb = Image.open (filename)
thumb.thumbnail ((120,120), Image.BICUBIC)

I am not sure why the thumbs come out different sizes, but it may be a
transparent part or something.

Anyway, thanks for all your help Robin and I am hoping that the history
of this will help others in the future.

I have never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.

The universe is indifferent, and life is brutal; however, it is man's
choice of behavior that makes them malevolent rather than benevolent.
