I'll clarify what I need then: I'm drawing Bézier curves. I draw them on a zone that is defined as a subclass of GtkDrawingArea. In a zone, I define a system of coordinates by 4 values: xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax that define the viewing port. A curve is defined in this system of coordinates by a collection of points. So my way of coding it is the following: class zone(GtkDrawingArea): class systemOfCoordinates: self.xmin = -5 self.xmax = 5 self.ymin = -5 self.ymax = 5 class Curve: self.listOfPoints = () def draw(self): pass # for each point in self.listOfPoints: draw this point # then draw the Bézier curve passing through these points class Point: def __init__(self, x, y): (self.x, self.y) = (x, y) def draw(self): # ... code for drawing a dot in the system of coordinates... def __init__(self): # for the zone object self.coord = self.systemOfCoordinates() self.listOfCurves = ( self.Curve() ) def expose(self, widget, event): pass # for each curve of self.listOfCurves: draw it Now to actually draw the dot on the screen, I need to access coord.xmin, coord.xmax, coord.ymin and coord.ymax to Point.draw(). I could do this by passing a reference to Point.draw(), but I'd like to do this implicitely. I guess that in that case, xmin, xmax, ymin and ymax should be class variables of zone, right? > If *any* object, class or instance of a class (or module or whatever) > contains another, access is by chaining the dots. > OuterOb.InnerOb.attribute > > Hope that answers your question. This should help, I'll make some tests. Thanks. -- F. Delente -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
