Controlling AUI split location

wxPython Users

In the sample below, what do I need to do to control the initial location of the splits between windows?
I think this is the last detail I need to use AUI for my application layout.

import wx
import wx.aui

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def init(self):
super(MyFrame, self).init(None)

    # make some panels
    panel1 = wx.Panel(self)
    panel2 = wx.Panel(self)
    panel3 = wx.Panel(self)

    # instantiate the AUI manager
    self._mgr = wx.aui.AuiManager(self)

    # add panels to manager
    info = (wx.aui.AuiPaneInfo().Bottom().CaptionVisible(False))
    self._mgr.AddPane(panel1, info)

   
    info = (wx.aui.AuiPaneInfo().Left().CaptionVisible(False))
    self._mgr.AddPane(panel2, info)
   
    info = (wx.aui.AuiPaneInfo().CentrePane())
    self._mgr.AddPane(panel3, info)

    # tell the manager to 'commit' all the changes just made
    self._mgr.Update()
   
    # size the frame
    self.Size = ((300,300))
    self.Center()

app = wx.PySimpleApp()

MyFrame().Show()
app.MainLoop()

Hi,

In the sample below, what do I need to do to control the initial location of
the splits between windows?
I think this is the last detail I need to use AUI for my application layout.

import wx
import wx.aui

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
super(MyFrame, self).__init__(None)

    \# make some panels
    panel1 = wx\.Panel\(self\)
    panel2 = wx\.Panel\(self\)
    panel3 = wx\.Panel\(self\)

    \# instantiate the AUI manager
    self\.\_mgr = wx\.aui\.AuiManager\(self\)

    \# add panels to manager
    info = \(wx\.aui\.AuiPaneInfo\(\)\.Bottom\(\)\.CaptionVisible\(False\)\)
    self\.\_mgr\.AddPane\(panel1, info\)

    info = \(wx\.aui\.AuiPaneInfo\(\)\.Left\(\)\.CaptionVisible\(False\)\)
    self\.\_mgr\.AddPane\(panel2, info\)

    info = \(wx\.aui\.AuiPaneInfo\(\)\.CentrePane\(\)\)
    self\.\_mgr\.AddPane\(panel3, info\)

    \# tell the manager to 'commit' all the changes just made
    self\.\_mgr\.Update\(\)

    \# size the frame
    self\.Size = \(\(300,300\)\)
    self\.Center\(\)

app = wx.PySimpleApp()
MyFrame().Show()
app.MainLoop()

You can't really "control" the split size (depending on the complexity
of the layout), but one thing you can do is to pass a BestSize to your
panes, i.e.:

info = (wx.aui.AuiPaneInfo().Bottom().CaptionVisible(False).BestSize((100,
200)))
self._mgr.AddPane(panel1, info)
