Hi everyone,
I know some part of programming in wxpython, now i need some help in designing a GUI which should be capable running and
displaying a realtime data or a continous input continously. In short my GUI should be able to run without crashing continously.

Please some one guide me in giving some guidance on how can we do so in python and what datastructures like textCntrol etc to
be used.
Thanking you all in advance for your concern.
Hope some one will show me a small flame which will lead my way.

Thanks again all and please do tolerate if any mistakes from my side and thus guide me of how to rectify my mistakes if any.

Thanks ,
Anil ph

Hi Anil,

Hi everyone,
I know some part of programming in wxpython, now i need some help in designing a GUI which should be capable running and
displaying a realtime data or a continous input continously.

You’ll need to be more specific as to what you want to display. Is this a continually updating plot or something like that? (If so, you could embed matplotlib into wxPython).

In short my GUI should be able to run without crashing continously.

That would be good, yes. :smiley:

Please some one guide me in giving some guidance on how can we do so in python and what datastructures like textCntrol etc to
be used.
Thanking you all in advance for your concern.

I’m sure people will be happy to help you once you provide some detailed information about what you want to do. But first, check out the wxPython demo (which you download from the wxPython page) and see all the widgets you could use for what you need. That will give you a good idea of what’s possible with existing widgets–which is a lot. Then later you may have focused questions for the list.

Thanks Che for your immediate reply , i would like to update continous
plot as well as text listing output continously in a textControl or any
other datastructure which will support continous data updation on it.I
am also worried about if we continously update an output in a
textcontrol will there be any problem like buffer overrun in the
Textcontrol...

Yes, there are limits on the size of the content that a wx.TextCtrl can hold, however if you use one of the wx.TE_RICH style flags you will probably run out of memory before you reach it. Also, after there is a certain (large) amount of data in the ctrl then the update speed will likely get slower and slower... Probably a better approach would be to just display the last N lines either in a wx.ListCtrl or a custom read-only widget that is able to draw text from a list. Then once you reach your max number of lines you just remove some from the start when adding new lines to the end and then tell the widget to refresh.

Hope i have made my posting a bit clearer.Please do
suggest me if my posting still is not much clear.i will try to make it
more clearer.
And i have lucid ubuntu, and i have installed wxPython using command
line, can you please guide me where can i find the demo.

It should be in the wx-examples package, or you can get it from the wxPython web site (although if you have 2.8.10.1 installed then you'll need to go back to that version of the demo too because of some incompatible changes in the wx.lib.agw APIs.)

will wxpython can do my work ...

Probably, unless you need a super high rate of data processing and display refresh.

this is also another doubt in my
head..please tolerate me if i have asked many illogical thinks, i am
just a beginner in python and wxPython.

Thanks robin for the reply,
I have learnt a bit of wxpython like sizers,subprocess and a bit of threading… will it be possible that wxpython can solve my requirement.Is this that wxpython can be use for the realtime GUI application system like signal capturing and also updating in realtime environment.Also my system is to run for a very long period of time … like it is to be continously running capturing information like we have in atmospheric study softwares where we have to make the system running always.Please do kindly help me out from my doubts and problem.

Do you want an interactive GUI or only a graphical display output ?
From what you have written it seems that you want just a continually
changing display output.

A simple hand drawn sketch done with something like Paint in MS
Windows or its equivalents on MACs or *nix platforms would go a long
way to describe just what it is you want. From that drawing very
specific suggestions can be made.

Hi wincrazy,
Thanks for your suggestion , i am posting a simple layout as an attachment, please do find the layout and guide me if we can do
like this.In the layout , A is a textcontrol and i want A to display captured realtime signals as a listing without any formating, it will be displayed through execution of another file using subprocess.Now B and C has to have a grid properties where i can click on each row and catch the event on each row.And moreover B and C will also be retreived from executing another file.

This is my idea of my layout.Please do guide me if my post is still not a bit clear.

Thanks for ur concern.

Your attachment doesn't have an extension type appended to the
filename it, but it's readable.

The whole page is a grid. Are the individual "grid controls" separate
inner grid controls, too ?

Many very different controls are "clickable". What do the "clickable"
items do when clicked ?

Is the TextControl interactive ?

The thing is that the table in the layout contains text control on the left side and the right side cloumn are grids, evn i dont know how i should implement that.Still what i want is to make the thing like that , and onclick of any item in the row of the grid should update produce me some information specific to the row.For example, if row is listing names then whn i click on it , it should display me the corresponding info of the person.And sorry for the file extension , i ll sent you extra more file extension next time.332.gif

Thanks for ur concern.Please do ask me any doubt if i my post is still a bit confusing.
Thanks,

"... the table in the layout..."

What table ? You didn't mention any tables. Be consistent with your
terminology. What's the difference between a "grid" and a "table" ?

"... contains text controls on the left side and the right side column
are grids [in themselves ? or tables ?], and even I [don't know how
that should best be implemented.]"

It's too soon to worry about implementation.
Just concentrate on WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE it to do.

"Still, what I want is to make the thing like that ..."
""... text control on the left side and the right side column are
grids ..."

What is "the thing" ?

The whole page seems to be a grid, so concentrate on what each cell in
the page grid looks like and how it can interact (or simply display
fixed info) with the user.

"... and [clicking] any item in the row of the grid ..."

Do you really mean "clicking the entire row", or just clicking certain
individual cells on the row ?

"... should update produce me some information specific to the row.For
example, if [a] row is listing names, when [it is] click on it should
display the corresponding info of the person. And, sorry for the file
extension. I'll send you files with extensions next time.[?] "

Does a row in the page represent a person, or does a cell ?

You are going to have to break down every cell in the page grid and
describe exactly what its capabilities are. Description such as "when
i click on it , it should display the corresponding info of the
person" are much too vague. What do "persons" represent, that is,
what information is associated with each "person" ? Programming
languages don't have "person" attributes built into them - you are
going to have to define what information is stored in each person you
create. Don't worry about how this is done yet.

Welcome to the world of engineering design !

sorry for the ambigious question , what i want is that the layout which i am trying to display the list of name are the signals captured from a device , and the layout should contain two controls textcontrol and grid on the on each half … its like the main layout should contain textcontrol and grid controls , i dont know how to do so… and the clickable row should give me another panel which will display the appropriate futher details associated with the row i clicked on…

Hope i have made a bit more clearer.
Thanking you for your assistance …

regards,
Anil ph

“… the table in the layout…”

What table ? You didn’t mention any tables. Be consistent with your

terminology. What’s the difference between a “grid” and a “table” ?

"… contains text controls on the left side and the right side column

are grids [in themselves ? or tables ?], and even I [don’t know how

that should best be implemented.]"

It’s too soon to worry about implementation.

Just concentrate on WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE it to do.

“Still, what I want is to make the thing like that …”

“”… text control on the left side and the right side column are

grids …"

What is “the thing” ?

The whole page seems to be a grid, so concentrate on what each cell in

the page grid looks like and how it can interact (or simply display

fixed info) with the user.

“… and [clicking] any item in the row of the grid …”

Do you really mean “clicking the entire row”, or just clicking certain

individual cells on the row ?

"… should update produce me some information specific to the row.For

example, if [a] row is listing names, when [it is] click on it should

display the corresponding info of the person. And, sorry for the file

extension. I’ll send you files with extensions next time.[?] "

Does a row in the page represent a person, or does a cell ?

You are going to have to break down every cell in the page grid and

describe exactly what its capabilities are. Description such as "when

i click on it , it should display the corresponding info of the

person" are much too vague. What do “persons” represent, that is,

what information is associated with each “person” ? Programming

languages don’t have “person” attributes built into them - you are

going to have to define what information is stored in each person you

create. Don’t worry about how this is done yet.

It's clear that you are trying to create a complex page without first
having learned how to create simpler pages.

You need to first learn what wx controls are available and what they
do. Download the wxPython demo package and look at every control
example in it.

Go to:

    http://www.wxpython.org/download.php

and download and install the appropriate pre-built binary package for
your particular platform.

It sounds like a wx.ListCtrl in report mode would work for you, that will be a bit simpler than using a Grid. You can use a wx.SplitterWindow to hold the textctrl and the listctrl, allowing both to be visible at the same time and the user can drag the middle sash to resize them.

However as has been mentioned, you will probably be much better off if you learn how to walk before you attempt to fly. Try doing some simple throwaway applications first to help you get to know how to use wxPython and what its capabilities are. Work up gradually to the application that you need to create.

Thanks, for your generous reply Robin, i have wxpython 2.6 and trying to learn wxpython by implementing things as experiments.can you please get me some information or tips where i can find such kind of examples or tutorial.I am trying to walk sincerely myself, hope you all will help me a bit to fly someday high so that i can contribute something to the forum and python.

Thanks for you concern all.
