Known Subclasses:: PyColourSlider, PyPalette

A canvas class for arbitrary drawing.

The Canvas class implements a window that allows for drawing arbitrary graphics. It implements a double buffer scheme and blits the off-screen buffer to the window during paint calls by the windowing system for speed.

Some other methods for determining the canvas colour and size are also provided.

Method Summary
	`__init__(self, parent, id, pos, size, style)` Creates a canvas instance and initializes the off-screen buffer.
	`Blit(self, dc)` Performs the blit of the buffer contents on-screen.
	`DrawBuffer(self)` Actual drawing function for drawing into the off-screen buffer.
	`GetBoundingRect(self)` Returns a tuple that contains the co-ordinates of the top-left and bottom-right corners of the canvas.
	`MakeNewBuffer(self)`
	`onPaint(self, event)` Renders the off-screen buffer on-screen.
	`onSize(self, event)` Perform actual redraw to off-screen buffer only when the size of the canvas has changed.
	`ReDraw(self)` Explicitly tells the canvas to redraw it's contents.
	`Refresh(self)` Re-draws the buffer contents on-screen.

Property Summary

Instance Method Details

init(self, parent, id, pos=wx.Point(-1, -1), size=wx.Size(-1, -1), style=33554432)
(Constructor)

Creates a canvas instance and initializes the off-screen buffer. Also sets the handler for rendering the canvas automatically via size and paint calls from the windowing system.

Overrides:: wx.Window.__init__

Blit(self, dc)

Performs the blit of the buffer contents on-screen.

DrawBuffer(self)

Actual drawing function for drawing into the off-screen buffer. To be overrideen in the implementing class. Do nothing by default.

GetBoundingRect(self)

Returns a tuple that contains the co-ordinates of the top-left and bottom-right corners of the canvas.

onPaint(self, event)

Renders the off-screen buffer on-screen.

onSize(self, event)

Perform actual redraw to off-screen buffer only when the size of the canvas has changed. This saves a lot of computation since the same image can be re-used, provided the canvas size hasn't changed.

ReDraw(self)

Explicitly tells the canvas to redraw it's contents.

Refresh(self)

Re-draws the buffer contents on-screen.

Overrides:: wx.Window.Refresh
