That was pretty detailed, thanks for that. To clarify something that may
not have been clear from my original post, I'm trying to create a stretched
image of a different size when the user clicks once on one of several
JButtons.
The JButton labelled "x2" is but the first of 4; the others are labelled
"x3", "x4" and "x5". Each button will_only_be_pressed_once. The idea is
that each one 'controls' the size of the twist_grid by defining a fixed
multiplier for t in
(w-(h*t) below:
> > def twist1(event):
> > twist_grid = [ [w for h in xrange(height) for w in xrange(width)] ,
> > [(w-(h*t)) for h in xrange(height) for w in
xrange(width)]]
t was 0.5 in the last example. This was the quickest way I could manipulate
the FlatField that is defined by the twist grid and thus generate different
sized stretched images...
It follows that there is something like:
> > def twist2(event):
> > twist_grid = [ [w for h in xrange(height) for w in xrange(width)] ,
> > [(w-(h*0.3)) for h in xrange(height) for w in
xrange(width)]]
and so on, for each JButton...
Following my newbie (and rather confused!) logic, even if I removed the
panels and layout stuff from twist1() (and twist2(), twist3() and twist4())
I'd still have the problem of having to update the image on the screen
following the button click because using just:
twist.setSamples(img.getValues(Boolean(0)),0)
within twist1() eg:
> > def twist1(event):
> > twist.setSamples(img.getValues(Boolean(0)),0)
will not help. This is because 'twist' only relates to the first
Gridded2DSet which won't change.
Perhaps, I'm being dense in my understanding of 'setSamples', I've taken the
usage of that method to be the same form as that used previously in the
code... i.e. setSamples(img.getValues(Boolean(0)), 0) Please tell me what
I'm missing.
My understanding is that there'll also be
twist.2setSamples(img.getValues(Boolean(0)),0), up to
twist3.setSamples(img.getValues(Boolean(0)),0) within seperate 'pre-made
Flatfields' for each but the problem of updating the display for each image
size will remain.
I took out the stuff you said to and no longer got a stretched image in my
prototype, frame maximised or not. Probably botched it so I'm still working
on it.
Cheers for all your help.
