From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Adding Scroll Bars and Frames
In our last post we found that the list box was a waste of time for its task, unless you want one-word selections. We hacked our way around it for the meantime, using the underscore character. We left off needing a scroll bar to… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Adding Scroll Bars and Frames”
From Apple To Raspberry Pi: An Example of Implementing a Python MVC (Part 1)
I gave a template for MVC in the last post, This time I’m going to use it in the Popper’s Penguins application. We’ll re-organize what we already did with views and controllers to match the template. We’ll add the model in the next installment… Continue Reading “From Apple To Raspberry Pi: An Example of Implementing a Python MVC (Part 1)”

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.”
From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Windows Buttons and Widgets — on Pi!
I’ve explored much of the basic coding in Python, but I’ll need a good user interface for the projects I’m doing. When it comes to the graphical user interface (GUI), Xcode and Python are on two different planets. With storyboards and interface builder, Xcode… Continue Reading “From Apple to Raspberry Pi: Windows Buttons and Widgets — on Pi!”
