i'm new to ctypes. can someone help me use sdl_pango with python?
here's the documentation: http://sdlpango.sourceforge.net/
here's my code:
-----------------------------------------------------
import pygame
from ctypes import *
import win32api
MATRIX_TRANSPARENT_BACK_WHITE_LETTER = c_char_p("\xFF\xFF\0\0\xFF\xFF
\0\0\xFF\xFF\0\0\0\xFF\0\0")
margin_x = margin_y = 10
def sdlwrite(rtext, width, height=None):
context = sdlpango.SDLPango_CreateContext()
sdlpango.SDLPango_SetDefaultColor(context,
MATRIX_TRANSPARENT_BACK_WHITE_LETTER)
sdlpango.SDLPango_SetMinimumSize(context, width, height)
sdlpango.SDLPango_SetMarkup(context, rtext, -1)
w = sdlpango.SDLPango_GetLayoutWidth(context)
h = sdlpango.SDLPango_GetLayoutHeight(context)
surface = sdl.SDL_CreateRGBSurface(sdlpango.SDL_SWSURFACE, w +
margin_x, h + margin_y, 32, 255 << (8*3), 255 << (8*2), 255 << (8*1),
255)
sp = POINTER(surface)
sdlpango.SDLPango_Draw(context, ps, margin_x, margin_y)
sdl.SDL_FreeSurface(ps)
return context
def surfwrite(rtext, width, height=None):
sdlcontext = sdlwrite(rtext, width, height)
print 'sdlcontext:', sdlcontext
#scr = pygame.set_mode()
#rloss, gloss, bloss, aloss = scr.
sdlpango = windll.LoadLibrary(r"C:\projects\soundshop\pango-1.18.3\bin
\sdl_pango.dll")
sdl = windll.LoadLibrary(r"sdl.dll")
#sdlpango.SDLPango_SetDefaultColor.argtypes = [c_void_p, c_char_p]
#sdlpango.SDLPango_SetMinimumSize.argtypes = [c_void_p, c_int, c_int]
#sdlpango.SDLPango_SetMarkup.argtypes = [c_void_p, c_char_p, c_int]
#sdlpango.SDLPango_GetLayoutWidth.argtypes = [c_void_p]
#sdlpango.SDLPango_GetLayoutHeight.argtypes = [c_void_p]
#sdl.SDL_CreateRGBSurface.argtypes = [c_uint, c_int, c_int, c_int,
c_uint, c_uint, c_uint, c_uint]
#sdlpango.SDLPango_Draw.argtypes = [c_void_p, c_uint, c_int, c_int]
#sdl.SDL_FreeSurface.argtypes = [c_void_p]
sdlpango.SDLPango_SetDefaultColor.argtypes = [c_uint, c_uint]
sdlpango.SDLPango_SetMinimumSize.argtypes = [c_uint, c_int, c_int]
sdlpango.SDLPango_SetMarkup.argtypes = [c_uint, c_char_p, c_int]
sdlpango.SDLPango_GetLayoutWidth.argtypes = [c_uint]
sdlpango.SDLPango_GetLayoutHeight.argtypes = [c_uint]
sdl.SDL_CreateRGBSurface.argtypes = [c_uint, c_int, c_int, c_int,
c_uint, c_uint, c_uint, c_uint]
sdlpango.SDLPango_Draw.argtypes = [c_uint, c_uint, c_int, c_int]
sdl.SDL_FreeSurface.argtypes = [c_uint]
surfwrite("hello", 640)
-----------------------------------------------------
here's the .h file that i got MATRIX_TRANSPARENT_BACK_WHITE_LETTER
from. http://sdlpango.sourceforge.net/_s_d_l___pango_8h-source.html
-----------------------------------------------------
here's my error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\projects\soundshop\sdlpango.py", line 54, in <module>
surfwrite("hello", 640)
File "C:\projects\soundshop\sdlpango.py", line 25, in surfwrite
sdlcontext = sdlwrite(rtext, width, height)
File "C:\projects\soundshop\sdlpango.py", line 13, in sdlwrite
sdlpango.SDLPango_SetDefaultColor(context,
MATRIX_TRANSPARENT_BACK_WHITE_LETTER)
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 2: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: wrong
type
-----------------------------------------------------
i've tried other things, like using c_char_p instead for
MATRIX_TRANSPARENT_BACK_WHITE_LETTER, but the only other result i can
manage to get is this:
C:\projects\soundshop>sdlpango.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\projects\soundshop\sdlpango.py", line 52, in <module>
surfwrite("hello", 640)
File "C:\projects\soundshop\sdlpango.py", line 25, in surfwrite
sdlcontext = sdlwrite(rtext, width, height)
File "C:\projects\soundshop\sdlpango.py", line 13, in sdlwrite
sdlpango.SDLPango_SetDefaultColor(context,
MATRIX_TRANSPARENT_BACK_WHITE_LETTER)
ValueError: Procedure probably called with too many arguments (8 bytes
in excess)
-----------------------------------------------------
thx for any help.
