I'm relatively new to wxPython. I'm a senior at Rutgers University,
majoring in IT, and am working on a Linux-based "CarPC" as a personal
project (http://www.jasonantman.com/tuxtruck/). I've decided to use
wxPython for the GUI.
I've looked into both LEDCtrl by E.A. Tacao and the LEDNumberCtrl. Does
anyone know of/have a smiliar looking widget that supports the degrees
symbol, to display temperature?
Thanks,
Jason
PS - I'm still pretty new to wxPython, and would rather, if possible,
not have to code the changes myself...

I don't know of any others like that, but it shouldn't be too hard of a modification to do.

There's a dictionary named _opts in LEDCtrl.py (lines 176 to 198) that
'translates' characters (keys) to segments (values). The values are
strings of seven digits, either 1s or 0s, where the first digit
relates to the a segment, the second to b, ... the seventh to g.
E. g., in line 177:
"1" : "0110000"
means that for the character "1" only the b and c segments will be lit,
and in line 192:
"-" : "0000001"
means that for the character "-" only the g segment will be lit, and
so on.
Knowing that, it's easy to produce the degrees symbol just by adding
an item to that dict:
chr(176) : "1100011"
After inserting that item, try the demo by inserting an <Alt>+0176
char in the value box. The C and F are already supported so now it'll
be able to show both celsius and fahrenheit.

Too late. But it was only ONE line, anyway.

I started to look through the code and remember seeing those strings, but for some reason something distracted me...
Thanks Again, Tacao.
