Hi,
You use wx.EVT_PAINT and wx.PaintDC to draw shapes, so that when window is resized (redrawn) shapes do not appear. This works when the window is created. But, how will I preserve the shapes that I create after window is created?
Below, I present you a code, when the app first starts, a rectangle is drawn on the window. When user clicks somewhere on the window, another rectangle is created. The initial rectangle is always preserved because it is bind to wx.EVT_PAINT event, so that it will be redrawn every time the window is redrawn.
But the second rectangle is not associated to the wx.EVT_PAINT, therefore it is lost when window is redrawn. How do I preserve the second rectangle as well?
import wx
class MyPanel(wx.Panel):
def init(self, parent):
wx.Panel.init(self, parent, -1)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_PAINT, self.OnPaint)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DCLICK, self.on_left_double_click)
def OnPaint(self, evt):
dc = wx.PaintDC(self)
dc.DrawRectangle(50, 60, 90, 40)
def on_left_double_click(self, evt):
x = evt.GetX()
y = evt.GetY()
dc = wx.ClientDC(self)
dc.SetBrush(wx.Brush("yellow"))
dc.DrawRectangle(x, y, 90, 40)
class MyForm(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, "Test",style=wx.DEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE,size=wx.Size(400, 300))
self.main_panel = MyPanel(self)
if name == “main”:
app = wx.App(False)
frame = MyForm()
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
