Suggestion for best wxPython Widgets for Network nodes and links

wxPython Users

Hi All,

I need suggestion what Widgets should be used for Network nodes and links using wxPythons

I tried NetworkX, however it doesn’t supports node or link selection. Also very complex.

I am looking to create using basic wxPython Widgets. I thought to achieve using Buttons (make button as “Node”) and connect buttons using Line. However I am unable to draw line b/w two buttons.

Please share your experience, how can I achieve it.

Help is much Appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

The wxPython demo is always a good source, if you have not yet downloaded it you should do so.

What about OGL (wx.lib.ogl) or floatcanvas (wx.lib.floatcanvas)

You might consider using a local host window in which you run a remote desktop utility to launch a pixel-mode wxPython application (with frames, dialogs, buttons, check boxes, radio buttons etc.) on a remote host. The remote desktop would enable you to use the local keyboard, mouse and display to monitor and control the

frames, dialogs, buttons, check boxes, radio buttons etc. The network connects the local and remote hosts. Using data compression the displaced image is sent by the remote to the local host and the operator input is sent from the local to remote host.

**Years ago, users on the local host used a command line interface shell (MS Widows CMD.exe or Linux Bash shell) to launch a remote host login via rsh. The user could then type in commands which launched a curses-based application which created a Graphical-style ****text-mode display **(with frames, dialogs, buttons, check boxes, radio buttons etc.) .

**Curses optimized the communication between local and remote hosts and their associated displays so that low bandwidth (9600 bits per second) could be used instead of the high speed (100-1000 megabits per second) **ethernet communication widely available today.

Check out some of the FloatCanvas Demos:

http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxPython/3rdParty/FloatCanvas/Demos/

in particular:

ProcessDiagram.py
node_tree.py

Note that FloatCanvas provides nothing to help you position the nodes --
maybe you could use networkX to do that, but actually do the visual
representation with FloartCanvas, not sure.

Also OGL was designed more specifically for this sort of diagram, so may be
better.
