Hello,
I am trying to create a map control for displaying map tiles (openstreet map tiles).
gtk.DrawingArea can be used in GTK. What’s the equivalent in wxPython?
Thanks.
BR,
Austin
no idea exactly what a DrawingArea is, but you could to slippy maps with a
wx.Window or wx.Panel, drawing the tiles with a wx.DC.
You might also consider building on top of wx.lib.floatcanvas -- you'
ll get a lot for free there.
Also _- google it -- I recall seeing a wxPython-based slippy map
implementation somewhere -- why write it yourself?

huh, never heard the term ‘slippy map’ before today, and I’ve been using these things for years!
a quick google turns up lots of results, one of which is:
https://code.google.com/p/pyslip/

I am actually aware of pyslip but I prefer gmapcatacher’s map tiler implementation (Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.).
I thought I could port the mapDrawingArea module to wxPython.
Anyways, thanks for the suggestions.
Regards,
Austin

Well I think the idea was that you could use pyslip to see how they’re drawing the tiles. Once you know that, you should be able to swap the code into gmapcatcher.
