Hi! It seems to me that you are consistently trying out wrong tools for the job. Maybe next time you should really start by explaining what you want to achieve in the first place? What you really need is pygame. It is a simple Python SDL wrapper, that is absolutely great to use for simulations visualization. This is the code you need to get what you want: # Center window on the screen os.environ["SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED"] = "1" pygame.init() pygame.display.set_mode(self.screen_size, 0) screen = pygame.display.get_surface() # CYCLE # Create the backgound background = pygame.image.load(fullpath) background = background.convert() # Display the background screen.blit(background, (0, 0)) pygame.display.flip() I have written a 2D n-body problem simulator that I used as teaching material for a Python course this spring, so if you want a more complete example I can send it to you, but either way, I think it's better off this list. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
