How to change the default orgin of the FloatCanvas' to top left corner,

[Erxin]

Why the default orign of the FloatCanvas is not on top left corner of the
canvas? Currently a float canvas instance is created as follow in my
project. But when try to add rectangle into it, it seems that the default
orgin is at the center of the canvas which means the (0, 0) point is at the
center of the canvas. It's a little difference between other lib's. Is it
possible to switch (0,0) upping left corner? Thanks in advance!

from wx.lib.floatcanvas import NavCanvas, FloatCanvas, Resources
FC = FloatCanvas.FloatCanvas(self, Debug=0)
Canvas.AddRectangle((-x0, y0), (size[0], -size[1]), LineWidth=0, LineColor =
(25,25,25), FillColor=(25,25,25))

Actually, as FloatCanvas is designed to allow arbitrary panning, the origin isn't anywhere in particular (though maybe in the middle if you do nothing, Ii.e not call ZoomToBB(), or Zoom() or ??? )

You can move it anywhere you want, but I suspect what you may want is not so much the origin moved, but the y-increasing-up convention changed to y-increasing-down.

image software and drawing pixels on screen libs most often use y-increasing-down convention, but math, science and also things like postscript, use  y-increasing-up, so that's what FC defaults to.

 

from wx.lib.floatcanvas import NavCanvas, FloatCanvas, Resources
FC    = FloatCanvas.FloatCanvas(self, Debug=0)
Canvas.AddRectangle((-x0, y0), (size[0], -size[1]), LineWidth=0, LineColor =
(25,25,25), FillColor=(25,25,25))

you can call one of:

FC.MoveImage(self, shift, CoordType, ReDraw=True)

FC.Zoom(self, factor, center=None, centerCoords='world')

FC.ZoomToBB(self, NewBB=None, DrawFlag=True)

 

to position is like you want.

You can also change the y-up convention by setting the projection function -- there is an example somewhere I don't have time to dig up at the moment -- though y-down projections are less well tested.

HTH,

Enclosed is a tiny app that demonstrates these methods -- comment.uncomment them and see what they do.

By the way, no need to set a LineColor is LineWidth is zero: maybe use LineStyle=None, for no outline.

Sorry for the late replay. In the previous days I'm busy working on
developing new features for several projects in my work.

Currently the issue is bypassed by projective the coordinate by manually.
The relative codes are here:

def __draw(self, diffinfo):
wx.GetApp().Yield(True)
canvas = self.__canvas
canvas.ClearAll()

self.__rects = rects = []
x0, y0 = self.CanvasOrigin
rect_width = self.CanvasWidth / diffinfo.TotalDiff
rect_height = self.CanvasHeight / 2
for i in xrange(diffinfo.TotalDiff):
up_rect = Rectangle((x0 + i * rect_width, 0),
(rect_width, rect_height),
LineColor=colors0[i],
FillColor=colors0[i])
down_rect = Rectangle((x0 + i * rect_width, -y0),
(rect_width, rect_height),
LineColor=colors1[i],
FillColor=colors1[i])
rects.append(up_rect)
rects.append(down_rect)

I will try and learn your code samples. Thank your again! :)

The demo of the projection function is very clearly. It's the nice way to
solve my question. I counldn't find the detail doc about the projection
function, I guess the background logic may be:
[prj_x = [x + [orginal_center_x * [[projective_fun_x 0
]
prj_y] y] orginal_center_y] [0
projective_fun_y]]

Wish it is right. Thanks

sorry about that -- there is no where near enough documentation

But the source is always there, and not TOO hard to read.

 

I guess the background logic may be:
[prj_x  = [x + [orginal_center_x   * [[projective_fun_x   0
]
 prj_y]     y]    orginal_center_y]       [0
projective_fun_y]]

at a glance, that does look about right.
