I'm just beginning to learn Python on the Windows platform, and I have decided on Boa-Constructor as my IDE. I look forward to using it, as it looks like a great open source program. =20 I had my first 2 questions: =20 [1] Where would I find information about drawing graphics with Python and wxWidgets? I did some searching online, but I only turned up the sample book chapter on drawing and printing with wxWidgets and C++. Is there a tutorial that covers drawing wxWidgets from a Python perspective? =20 [2] Is Boa-Constructor written solely in Python, or does it include C code? Is there a plug-in framework for the IDE, and can I extend it solely with Python? =20 Thanks, =20 Landon =20 |

For the first: - look at PyPlot in the wxPython demo - if you have more complex needs look a matplotlib (check out there newsgroup and there is also a bit of discussion on wxPyhton about it. For the second: - look at DrawImages in the wxPython demo If you have more detailed question about this you might want to ask on the wxPython list as there are more persons on there knowing about these things and they are not Boa specific. > > > > [2] Is Boa-Constructor written solely in Python, or does it include C > code?

I believe it is all in Python, you can do some extension using the plug-in stuff - check boa/Plug-ins folder to see some examples. See you Werner > > > > Thanks, > > > > Landon > > > |

There's also a very nice 3D visualization tool, MayaVi2, in the enthought package. http://enthought.com/enthought |
