Hello, I am including at the end of this document (is it better as an attachment?) some code for a small gui dialog. Since I am quite new to this, if anyone has any suggestions for improvements to the code, bad coding practices, poor gui design, etc... I'd love to hear it. This list has been very helpful to me so far, and I hope to be able to return the favor someday when I get good enough to take the training wheels off. :)
The code makes a simple class, with some parameters, some of which are numbers, some boolean, and one which is either a string or a number depending on context. There is a dialog class which allows you to edit/change the values, and a wrapper function of the form: new_params <== wrapper(old_params) which calls the dialog, and returns the updated params instance. thanks, Brian Blais -- ----------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://web.bryant.edu/~bblais import wx import copy class SimulationParams(object): def __init__(self): self.epoch_number=500 self.iter_per_epoch=500 self.epoch_per_display=1 self.random_seed='clock' self.keep_every_epoch=0 self.save_input_vectors=0 def __repr__(self): yesno={0:"No",1:"Yes",True:"Yes",False:"No"} s="Epoch Number: %d\n" % self.epoch_number s=s+"Iter Per Epoch: %d\n" % self.iter_per_epoch s=s+"Epoch Per Display: %d\n" % self.epoch_per_display if (isinstance(self.random_seed,str)): s=s+"Random Seed: %s\n" % self.random_seed else: s=s+"Random Seed: %d\n" % self.random_seed s=s+"Keep Every Epoch: %s\n" % yesno[self.keep_every_epoch] s=s+"Save Input Vectors: %s\n" % yesno[self.save_input_vectors] return(s) class SimulationParamsDialog(wx.Dialog): def __init__(self,params,parent=None): self.params=params wx.Dialog.__init__(self, parent, -1, "Simulation Parameters") sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) box = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL) label = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Epoch_Number:") box.Add(label, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) self.text1 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, str(params.epoch_number), size=(80,-1)) box.Add(self.text1, 1, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) sizer.Add(box, 0, wx.GROW|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ALL, 5) box = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL) label = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Iterations Per Epoch:") box.Add(label, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) self.text2 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, str(params.iter_per_epoch), size=(80,-1)) box.Add(self.text2, 1, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) sizer.Add(box, 0, wx.GROW|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ALL, 5) box = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL) label = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Epoch Per Display:") box.Add(label, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) self.text3 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, str(params.epoch_per_display), size=(80,-1)) box.Add(self.text3, 1, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) sizer.Add(box, 0, wx.GROW|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ALL, 5) box = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL) label = wx.StaticText(self, -1, "Random Seed:") box.Add(label, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) self.text4 = wx.TextCtrl(self, -1, str(params.random_seed), size=(80,-1)) box.Add(self.text4, 1, wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) sizer.Add(box, 0, wx.GROW|wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL|wx.ALL, 5) self.cb1 = wx.CheckBox(self, -1, "Keep Every Epoch") self.cb1.SetValue(params.keep_every_epoch) sizer.Add(self.cb1, 1, wx.GROW|wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) self.cb2 = wx.CheckBox(self, -1, "Save Input Vectors") self.cb2.SetValue(params.save_input_vectors) sizer.Add(self.cb2, 1, wx.GROW|wx.ALIGN_CENTRE|wx.ALL, 5) btnsizer = wx.StdDialogButtonSizer() btn = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_OK) btn.SetHelpText("The OK button completes the dialog") btn.SetDefault() btnsizer.AddButton(btn) btn = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_CANCEL) btn.SetHelpText("The Cancel button cnacels the dialog.
