I can't understand how to refresh FigureCanvasWxAgg instance. Here is the example:
import wx
import matplotlib
from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import FigureCanvasWxAgg as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.NewId(), "Main")
self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.figure = Figure(figsize=(1,2))
self.axe = self.figure.add_subplot(111)
self.figurecanvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, self.figure)
self.buttonPlot = wx.Button(self, wx.NewId(), "Plot")
self.buttonClear = wx.Button(self, wx.NewId(), "Clear")
self.sizer.Add(self.figurecanvas, proportion=1, border=5, flag=wx.ALL | wx.EXPAND)
self.sizer.Add(self.buttonPlot, proportion=0, border=2, flag=wx.ALL)
self.sizer.Add(self.buttonClear, proportion=0, border=2, flag=wx.ALL)
self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
self.figurecanvas.Bind(wx.EVT_LEFT_DCLICK, self.on_dclick)
self.buttonPlot.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.on_button_plot)
self.buttonClear.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.on_button_clear)
self.subframe_opened = False
def on_dclick(self, evt):
self.subframe = SubFrame(self, self.figure)
self.subframe.Show(True)
self.subframe_opened = True
def on_button_plot(self, evt):
self.axe.plot(range(10), color='green')
self.figurecanvas.draw()
def on_button_clear(self, evt):
if self.subframe_opened:
self.subframe.Close()
self.figure.set_canvas(self.figurecanvas)
self.axe.clear()
self.figurecanvas.draw()
class SubFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, figure):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, wx.NewId(), "Sub")
self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.figurecanvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, figure)
self.sizer.Add(self.figurecanvas, proportion=1, border=5, flag=wx.ALL | wx.EXPAND)
self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.on_close)
def on_close(self, evt):
self.GetParent().subframe_opened = False
evt.Skip()
class MyApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
frame = MainFrame()
frame.Show(True)
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
return True
app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()
I'm interested in the following sequence of operations:
run a script
resize the main frame
press Plot button
double click on plot
press Clear button
Now I get a mess on main frame plot. If I resize the frame it redraws properly. My question is what should I add to my code to do that without resizing?
By a "mess" I mean something like this:

Thanks in advance.
As I said in the comments, I don't think that the figure canvas refresh is your problem, in fact I think it's doing exactly what it's supposed to (redrawing itself based on it's last state [ie as it was in your subplot]). I think your problem is more that the wxFrame is not refreshing.
The easiest way to fix that would be to make it resize itself on your "Clear" event. Something like:
def on_button_clear(self, evt):
if self.subframe_opened:
self.subframe.Close()
self.figure.set_canvas(self.figurecanvas)
self.axe.clear()
self.figurecanvas.draw()
self.SetSize((self.Size[0],self.figurecanvas.Size[1]))
The set size would cause the frame and all the controls it contains to be redrawn.
That said, I think sharing your figure between the two figurecanvas is dangerous. I was able to produce some serious errors by clicking/resizing things in different combinations. On occasion your figure would be garbage collected when the subframe was closed, making it unavailable to your main frame.

I've just gotten into wxpython for Python 3.6 and I've hit a roadblock. I just can't work out how to make elements/widgets scale with the screen! I know you have to use sizers but that's about it, I'm still fairly new to programming so just reading the documentation didn't help. If someone could just sample some code that works I'd be very thankful as I could then read through it and work out what I was doing wrong. The code that draws out the GUI I want to scale with window size is below, the key idea is that the TextCtrl scales, other elements don't really need scaling.
def createGUI(self):
panel = wx.Panel(self)
menuBar = wx.MenuBar()
menuButton = wx.Menu()
newItem = wx.MenuItem(menuButton, wx.ID_NEW, 'New Note\tCtrl+N')
delItem = wx.MenuItem(menuButton, wx.ID_DELETE, 'Delete Note\tCtrl+Backspace')
saveItem = wx.MenuItem(menuButton, wx.ID_SAVE, 'Save\tCtrl+S')
exitItem = wx.MenuItem(menuButton, wx.ID_EXIT, 'Quit\tCtrl+Q')
menuButton.Append(newItem)
menuButton.Append(saveItem)
menuButton.Append(delItem)
menuButton.Append(exitItem)
menuBar.Append(menuButton, 'Menu')
self.SetMenuBar(menuBar)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.new, newItem)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.delete, delItem)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.save, saveItem)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.onExit, exitItem)
self.noteText = wx.TextCtrl(panel)
self.noteText.AppendText(self.notecontent)
self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.onExit)
self.SetTitle(f'Welcome {self.username}! You are working on {self.notepath}')
self.Centre()
self.Show(True)
To begin with it's best to equate sizers to something familiar and I usually think of storage boxes or a chest of drawers.
When we define widgets, they are all dumped into a container, the parent object, often the ubiquitous self or self.panel.
If we do not assign a size and pos to each item, it's just a jumbled mess, a pile of widgets.
The sizer, there are many types, are the virtual drawers in our chest of drawers, that herds this pile of widgets into order.
The widgets are assigned to the appropriate sizer, note sizers can go into other sizers, and eventually when everything has been assigned a place or drawer in our chest of drawers, the sizers do their magic, arranging and sizing all of widgets into a coherent screen for display or arranging the drawers contents and relative positions in the chest of drawers.
Below, I've used the simplest sizer a boxsizer.
One will arrange things vertically and the other horizontally.
The horizontal sizer is for the buttons and the vertical sizer, will be the main sizer, into which I place not only the TectCtrl but also the buttons, prearranged in their horizontal sizer.
For a better and more comprehensive description of sizers and their controls see: https://docs.wxpython.org/sizers_overview.html and for details on the actual sizers available see the detailed documenation on each.
A loose approximation of your code:
#!/usr/bin/python
import wx
class Example(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title):
super(Example, self).__init__(parent, title=title,
size=(450, 350))
self.panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)
self.main_sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.button_sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
self.noteText = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, -1, style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)
self.Button_close = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, label="Quit")
self.Button_1 = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, label="Btn1")
self.Button_2 = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, label="Btn2")
self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.onExit)
self.Button_close.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onExit)
self.Button_1.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onButton)
self.Button_2.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onButton)
# Place buttons within their own horizontal sizer
self.button_sizer.Add(self.Button_close,proportion=0, flag=wx.ALL, border=10)
self.button_sizer.Add(self.Button_1,proportion=0, flag=wx.ALL, border=10)
self.button_sizer.Add(self.Button_2,proportion=0, flag=wx.ALL, border=10)
# Add textctrl and the button sizer to the main sizer (vertical)
self.main_sizer.Add(self.noteText,proportion=1, flag=wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL, border=10)
self.main_sizer.Add(self.button_sizer, 0, 0, 0)
self.panel.SetSizer(self.main_sizer)
self.Show()
def onExit(self, event):
self.Destroy()
def onButton(self, event):
print("A button was pressed")
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = wx.App()
Example(None, title="Example")
app.MainLoop()
Edit:
Here's the same code without using sizers, although they are recommended.
#!/usr/bin/python
import wx
class Example(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title):
super(Example, self).__init__(parent, title=title,

self.noteText = wx.TextCtrl(self.panel, -1, pos=(10,10), size=(400,280), style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)
self.Button_close = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, label="Quit", pos=(10,290), size=(50,30))
self.Button_1 = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, label="Btn1", pos=(70,290), size=(50,30))
self.Button_2 = wx.Button(self.panel, -1, label="Btn2", pos=(130,290), size=(50,30))
self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.onExit)
self.Button_close.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onExit)
self.Button_1.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onButton)
self.Button_2.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.onButton)
self.Show()
def onExit(self, event):

I'm creating a wx.agw.SuperToolTip. I'm updating the message in the tip every few seconds, and if the tip is showing when the message updates the tip is redrawn in a different position.
The new position seems to be relative to the original position's relation to the top left corner of the screen, but that could just be coincidence.
Also, if I modify wx.lib.agw.supertooltip.ToolTipWindowBase.Invalidate() by commenting out the call to self.CalculateBestSize() the problem goes away. Of course then the window won't resize, so that's no solution.
I'm using wxPython 2.8.12.1.
Here's an app that demonstrates the problem:
class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title,
pos=(150, 150), size=(350, 225))
panel = wx.Panel(self)
btn = wx.Button(panel, -1, "Hover over this")
self._superTip = SuperToolTip("")
self._superTip.SetHeader("Heyo!")
self._superTip.SetTarget(btn)
self._superTip.EnableTip(True)
self._superTip.SetDrawHeaderLine(True)
self._superTip.SetDrawFooterLine(True)
self._superTip.SetStartDelay(1)
self._superTip.SetEndDelay(60)
currentFooterFont = wx.SystemSettings.GetFont(wx.SYS_DEFAULT_GUI_FONT)
currentFooterFont.SetPointSize(6)
currentFooterFont.SetWeight(wx.NORMAL)
self._superTip.SetFooterFont(currentFooterFont)
self._superTip.SetFooter('(Click to close)')
self._superTip.ApplyStyle("Blue Glass")
self._superTip.SetDropShadow(True)
self.ttTimer = wx.Timer(self)
self.ttText = 'What the?'
self.Bind(wx.EVT_TIMER, self.onTimer, self.ttTimer)
sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer.Add(btn, 0, wx.ALL, 10)
panel.SetSizer(sizer)
self.ttTimer.Start(2000)
panel.Layout()
def onTimer(self, evt):
self._superTip.SetMessage(self.ttText)
self.ttText += '?'
class MyApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
frame = MyFrame(None, "STT error demo")
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
frame.Show(True)
return True
app = MyApp(redirect=True)
app.MainLoop()
Any thoughts on how I can update a visible tooltip without its location changing?
Thanks a lot.
I have a seaborn barplot embedded in a WxPython panel, like this:
The bar plot is drawn when the (big) button is clicked. This is what I made to accomplish it:
class SamplePanel(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
self.figure = Figure()
self.ax = self.figure.add_subplot(111)
self.x = np.array(list('XYZV'))
self.y = np.array([200,400,300,20])
self.ax.set_ylabel("Sample numbers")
self.canvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, self.figure)
self.button = wx.Button(self, label="Plot data", pos=(100,15))
self.button.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButtonClick)
self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.sizer.Add(self.canvas, 1, wx.LEFT | wx.TOP | wx.GROW)
self.sizer.Add(self.button, 1, wx.LEFT | wx.TOP | wx.GROW)
self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
self.Fit()
def OnButtonClick(self,event):
sns.barplot(self.x, self.y, palette="BuGn_d", ax=self.ax)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = wx.Frame(None, title='Sample bar plot')
panel = SamplePanel(frame)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
I have two questions:
How can I disable/draw the plot when I click the button? That is, if I click the button then the plot appears. If I click again the plot disappears and I get back to an empty original view, like this:
Also, the plot only changes when I maximize the window, how can I change it to be immediate, as soon as I click the button?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
It would have helped a lot if you had posted a small runnable example. Fortunately, Google helped me figure out what all was needed. Basically you need to set some kind of variable to keep track of if you've clicked the button or not. Or you could use a wx.ToggleButton instead of a regular wx.Button.
To get the graph to display without resizing the frame, you just need to call self.Layout().
To clear the figure, you'll need to do something like self.ax.cla() or self.ax.clear(). Here's a full example that worked for me:
import numpy as np
import seaborn as sns
import wx
from matplotlib.backends.backend_wxagg import FigureCanvasWxAgg as FigureCanvas
from matplotlib.figure import Figure
class SamplePanel(wx.Panel):
def __init__(self, parent):
wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
self.toggled = False
self.figure = Figure()
self.ax = self.figure.add_subplot(111)
self.x = np.array(list('XYZV'))
self.y = np.array([200,400,300,20])
self.ax.set_ylabel("Sample numbers")
self.canvas = FigureCanvas(self, -1, self.figure)
self.button = wx.Button(self, label="Plot data", pos=(100,15))
self.button.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnButtonClick)
self.sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
self.sizer.Add(self.canvas, 1, wx.LEFT | wx.TOP | wx.GROW)
self.sizer.Add(self.button, 1, wx.LEFT | wx.TOP | wx.GROW)
self.SetSizer(self.sizer)
self.Fit()
def OnButtonClick(self, event):
if not self.toggled:
sns.barplot(self.x, self.y, palette="BuGn_d", ax=self.ax)
self.toggled = True
else:
self.ax.cla()
self.toggled = False
self.Layout()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = wx.App(False)
frame = wx.Frame(None, title='Sample bar plot', size=(800,600))
panel = SamplePanel(frame)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()
Also note that wx.PySimpleApp is deprecated. I swapped it out for the recommended method of creating an app object.
In the following example the scrollbar disappears after using the calculating button, although the layout function was called. If you manually resize the frame it reappears. This behavior occurs only under windows, in linux the scrollbar functions as it should.
To fix it I tried the functions refresh() and update() (in layout funtion of class GUI_Diagrams_GHL) - but it didn't help.
I tried to reduce my application to this minmal working example:

I've figured it out myself :)
If you call the layout function of the main panel ('MainWindow.panel.Layout()') after updating the diagrams/in the layout of the diagram class, the whole panel refreshes and
the Scrollbars reappear. So a 'parent.parent.Layout()' worked for me in this case.
Any other suggestions/solutions?
I've created wx.Grid widget inside my frame and I want to change my type of cursor if the user is using the grid widget. I've managed to do that with wx.StockCursor and .SetCursor methods but my cursor keeps returning to standard cursor if the user moves the cursor above the intersections of cell and row borders. What is causing this?
import wx
import wx.grid as Gridw
class Frame(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, 'Data selection', size=(785, 540))
self.Centre()
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
panel = wx.Panel(self, wx.ID_ANY)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
self.grid = Gridw.Grid(panel)
self.grid.CreateGrid(250, 250)
self.grid.EnableDragGridSize(0)
self.grid.DisableDragColSize()
self.grid.DisableDragRowSize()
self.grid.SetColMinimalWidth(0, 100)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
sizer_v = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
sizer_v.Add(wx.Button(panel, -1, 'Button'), 1, wx.CENTER | wx.ALL, 5)
sizer.Add(self.grid, 1, wx.EXPAND, 5)
sizer.Add(sizer_v, 0)

cross_c = wx.StockCursor(wx.CURSOR_CROSS)
self.grid.SetCursor(cross_c)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = wx.App()
frame = Frame().Show()
app.MainLoop()
Looks like the problem is related to that you've disabled grid resizing via EnableDragGridSize(0), DisableDragColSize() and DisableDragRowSize(). This can somewhat explain why you are seeing standard cursor on the cell borders.
Not sure if it'll help you since I don't know what OS are you using, but this works for me on linux:
cross_c = wx.StockCursor(wx.CURSOR_CROSS)
self.grid.GetGridWindow().SetCursor(cross_c)
One more option is to listen for EVT_MOTION and set cursor in the event listener:
self.cross_c = wx.StockCursor(wx.CURSOR_CROSS)
self.grid.GetTargetWindow().SetCursor(self.cross_c)
wx.EVT_MOTION(self.grid.GetGridWindow(), self.OnMouseMotion)
def OnMouseMotion(self, evt):
self.grid.GetTargetWindow().SetCursor(self.cross_c)
evt.Skip()
Hope that helps.
