From Apple to Raspberry Pi: How to do Threading with Python and Tkinter
We’re going to have a diversion away from the penguin app for a bit due to some work I ‘m doing and thought it would be useful for many working with the Raspberry Pi and Python. I’m working with time-lapse photography on the Raspberry… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: How to do Threading with Python and Tkinter”
From Apple to Raspberry Pi: A Scroll List Box that Works.
For the last few posts, we have tried to get past the Tkinter limitation with scrolling list boxes using only one word per line. This post we take the Text widget we added last week, and turn it into a true list box. We… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: A Scroll List Box that Works.”
From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Adding a Tkinter Text Box in Python
Tkinter lacks a good list box. There is a widget, but as shown in earlier posts in this series, it doesn’t do the best job. We had to use underscores to get the list box to work. There is another widget that might do… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Adding a Tkinter Text Box in Python”
From Apple to Raspberry Pi: How to Make a List Box (Somewhat) Useful
In the Popper’s Penguin application, I’d like to take my data, display it, and be able to select it. If I was doing this in Xcode, I’d use an UITableView to do exactly that. UITableViews are more advanced than what I want, as they… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: How to Make a List Box (Somewhat) Useful”
From Apple To Raspberry Pi: An Example of Implementing a Python MVC (Part 2)
In the last part we implemented the view and controller for the Popper’s Penguins application. Now we add the model. Along the way, we will make a delegate method for the model and change our target actions to add our data to a list. Add the… Continue Reading “From Apple To Raspberry Pi: An Example of Implementing a Python MVC (Part 2)”
From Apple to Raspberry Pi: A MVC Template for Tkinter
In this installment I’m going to take a side path from the building of the Popper’s penguins app to clarify something I gave in my last post on Python, Tkinter and Raspberry Pi. In the world of Xcode, both for OS X development and… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: A MVC Template for Tkinter”
From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Using Object Oriented Programming with Tkinter
We’ve been learning parts of Python together. So far we’ve learned the basics of Python and setting up classes and instances in it. We have a good start on using UI elements and styling them with the basics of tk and ttk. I’d like… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Using Object Oriented Programming with Tkinter”
From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Making Round Rectangle Buttons — The Movie
When I posted yesterday about GIMP and making Buttons for Python projects on the Raspberry Pi, I had thought someone would have a tutorial for the classic pre-iOS7 rounded rectangle button. I didn’t find any. Here is a video I put together of making… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Making Round Rectangle Buttons — The Movie”
From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Living without Storyboards and Interface Builder
In iOS, avoiding Interface Builder is nearly impossible. IB is old – as old as the Xcode SDK itself. Interface builder was one of the components of NextStep, and thus one of the reasons Steve Jobs got his old job back, who then developed… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Living without Storyboards and Interface Builder”
From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Configuring Buttons for GUI.
In our last installment, we learned how to add buttons and labels to a Python program. Now we are going to make them look a little nicer than the generic buttons we haven now using the configure method of Tkinter. Make a beginning framework… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Configuring Buttons for GUI.”
