WorldViz User Forum - TK with Vizard

Here is a simple script that embeds the Vizard graphics window in a Tk application:

Code:

import viz

from Tkinter import *

import win32gui



class VizardApp(Frame):

        def __init__(self, master=None):

                Frame.__init__(self, master,width=800, height=600)

                self.pack()

                

                #Embed vizard using the viz.EMBEDDED flag and passing handle to existing window

                viz.go(viz.EMBEDDED,window=self.winfo_id())

                

                #Initialize Vizard environment

                viz.add('tut_ground.wrl')

                ball = viz.add('ball.wrl',pos=(0,1.8,2))

                ball.add(vizact.spin(0,1,0,90))

                

                #Need to setup timer to manually update vizard engine

                self.after(10,self.updateVizard)



        def updateVizard(self):

                """Update the vizard engine"""

                viz.updateframe()

                self.after(10,self.updateVizard)



# create the application

myapp = VizardApp()



# set title of application

myapp.master.title("Vizard Tkinter example")



# start the program

myapp.mainloop()

We have also embedded Vizard in wxPython applications, and it works a lot better than Tk. If you are not too attached to using Tk, then I would recommend using wxPython.
