Tkinter interface

[malmct]

I'm building a program based around a tkinter interface, which is supposed to start vizard rolling. However, when I try and do this, vizard gets caught at the loading screen and the splash animation plays endlessly. How do I fix this?

The following example shows how to embed the Vizard graphics window into a TKinter application:

import viz
from Tkinter import *

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()
