Gradient Text update from wxPython 2 to Phoenix

Hi. I’m in the process of updating to Phoenix and the gradient text doesn’t render anymore (example).

This is the code I was using in wx 2:

def get_gradient_text_solid_bg(text,font,font_style,point_size,top_colour,bottom_colour,bg_colour_tuple):
    dc=wx.MemoryDC()
    f=getFont(font,font_style)
    f.SetFaceName(font)
    f.SetPointSize(point_size)
    dc.SetFont(f)
    dc.SelectObject(wx.Bitmap(0,0,settings.DEFAULT_BITMAP_DEPTH))
    w,h= dc.GetTextExtent(text)
    template_bmp= wx.Bitmap(w,h,settings.DEFAULT_BITMAP_DEPTH)
    dc.SelectObject(template_bmp)
    dc.SetBackground(wx.Brush(settings.BG_COLOUR))
    dc.Clear()
    dc.DrawText(text,0,0)
    dc.SelectObject(wx.NullBitmap)
    template_image= template_bmp.ConvertToImage()
    template_bmp= template_image.ConvertToBitmap()
    text_bmp= wx.Bitmap(w,h,settings.DEFAULT_BITMAP_DEPTH)
    dc.SelectObject(text_bmp)
    dc.GradientFillLinear((0,0,w,h),top_colour,bottom_colour,wx.SOUTH)
    dc.DrawBitmap(template_bmp,0,0)
    dc.SelectObject(wx.NullBitmap)

    return text_bmp

I looked at the differences between the two versions but couldn’t find anything.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

This is the code I was using in wx 2:

  I don't understand how this is supposed to work.  You draw text

into template_bmp in an unspecified foreground color with a
BG_COLOUR background. Then you gradient fill text_bmp and
overwrite the whole thing with template_bmp. What did you expect
this to produce? What is the end result supposed to be?

And what do you believe this accomplished?

template_image = template_bmp.ConvertToImage()
template_bmp = template_image.ConvertToBitmap()
