I am trying to create a program that simply displays a PNG (that has transparency), the image will be a map protractor that can be dragged around on the screen while viewing land navigation maps. I found the following example which almost does what I’m after, except SetTransparent() changes the alpha of the image too which i do not want, and it would be nice to get rid of the borders around the window as well (show image only).
import wx
class Frame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, image, parent=None, id=-1,pos=wx.DefaultPosition, title='wxPython'):
temp = image.ConvertToBitmap()
size = temp.GetWidth(), temp.GetHeight()
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, pos, size)
self.bmp = wx.StaticBitmap(parent=self, bitmap=temp)
self.SetClientSize(size)
self.SetTransparent(100)
class App(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
image = wx.Image('1.png', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY)
self.frame = Frame(image)
self.frame.Show()
self.SetTopWindow(self.frame)
return True
app = App()
app.MainLoop()
