Put panda3d in a Class ready to be called in tkinter paned window

General Discussion
#1

im trying to put the code in a class, so i can call it inside a paned window.
here is some code i have already.

from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase
from panda3d.core import WindowProperties
import tkinter


class panda():

    def initgl(self):
        # Start ShowBase, but don't open a Panda window yet
        base = ShowBase(windowType='none')

        # Start Tkinter integration, get the root window handle
        base.startTk()

        frame = base.tkRoot
        frame.update()
        id = frame.winfo_id()
        width = frame.winfo_width()
        height = frame.winfo_height()

        props = WindowProperties()
        props.setParentWindow(id)
        props.setOrigin(0, 0)
        props.setSize(width, height)

        base.makeDefaultPipe()
        base.openDefaultWindow(props=props)

        scene = base.loader.loadModel("environment")
        scene.reparentTo(base.render)

        base.run()

app = panda()

this is what im trying to achieve

Here is an example that creates a similar one, however you need to configure resizing and everything else. I’m not a Tk expert.

from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase
from panda3d.core import WindowProperties
import tkinter

class Tkinter_window(ShowBase):
  def __init__(self):
    ShowBase.__init__(self, windowType='none')
    
    root = tkinter.Tk()

    frame_panda3d = tkinter.Frame(root)
    frame_panda3d.place(x = 0, y = 0, height = 300, width = 400)
    
    frame_panel = tkinter.Frame(root, bg='blue')
    frame_panel.place(x = 400, y = 0, height = 300, width = 200)
   
    root.update()

    props = WindowProperties()
    props.setParentWindow(frame_panda3d.winfo_id())
    props.setOrigin(0, 0)
    props.setSize(frame_panda3d.winfo_width(), frame_panda3d.winfo_height())

    self.makeDefaultPipe()
    self.openDefaultWindow(props=props)

    scene = self.loader.loadModel("environment")
    scene.reparentTo(render)
    
tkinter_window = Tkinter_window()
tkinter_window.run()

i tried this:

self.app = Tkinter_window(m1)

but it wont let me append it to a paned window.

TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

maybe i can ask a expert on reddit.

To be honest, I don’t understand why your idea should work, I don’t even understand what your idea is.

#5

do you know what paned window is? if not i’ll explain.

#6

A paned window, this in other frameworks is name a splitter window. But whatever it is name, it does not depend on the panda, you decide how the widgets will be nested. You have a fully working example with frames, how, where, why, you put it, it’s just your decision.

#7

ok, i’ll ask someone on reddit. here’s the code if you are interested.

import time
import tkinter
from tkinter import *

from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase
from panda3d.core import WindowProperties

class Tkinter_window(ShowBase):
  def __init__(self):
    ShowBase.__init__(self, windowType='none')
    base.startTk()
    
    frame = base.tkRoot
    frame.update()
    
    props = WindowProperties()
    props.setParentWindow(frame.winfo_id())
    props.setOrigin(0, 0)
    props.setSize(frame.winfo_width(), frame.winfo_height())

    base.makeDefaultPipe()
    base.openDefaultWindow(props=props)

    scene = base.loader.loadModel("environment")
    scene.reparentTo(render)
    
class main():
    def __init__(self, master):

        self.runv = True 

        m1 = PanedWindow(relief=RAISED, sashrelief=RAISED)
        m1.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)

        frame1 = Frame(m1, bg="#3a3b3d")

        menubutton = Menubutton(frame1, text = "File", bg="#3a3b3d", fg="#ffffff", activebackground="#3a3b3d")    
            
        menubutton.menu = Menu(menubutton)   
        menubutton["menu"]= menubutton.menu   
        
        var1 = IntVar() 
        var2 = IntVar() 
        var3 = IntVar() 
        
        menubutton.menu.add_checkbutton(label = "New", 
                                        variable = var1)   
        open_file_button = menubutton.menu.add_checkbutton(label = "Open", 
                                        variable = var2) 
        menubutton.menu.add_checkbutton(label = "Save", 
                                        variable = var3) 
            
        menubutton.pack(anchor="nw")  

        self.app = Tkinter_window(m1)
        m1.add(self.app)

        m1.add(frame1, width=400)
        self.right = Text(frame1, bg="#3a3b3d", fg="#ffffff", insertbackground='white')
        self.right.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)

        rightb = Button(frame1, text="run")
        rightb.pack()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    root = tkinter.Tk()
    root.title("Shaun Engine")
    app = main(root)
    root.mainloop()
