Hello again.
I'm a bit boggled about how to get the properties or values of canvas items. I
put a text item on the canvas:
canvas.root().add('text', x=10, y=10, font='Courier New',
fill_color='black')
First of all, how do I tell the width of the resulting text, which is important
for layout? The barely-existing C-GNOME documentation hints at a text_width
attribute. I tried setting that, but I get a warning that it is not writable.
So maybe I can just "get" it like the other attributes, which brings up the
second question. How do I get the attributes I set? I can't do any of the
following:
print canvas.root().text(text_width)
print canvas.root().text.text_width
print canvas.root().text_width
or even
print canvas.root().text.get(text_width)
(C-GNOME has some "get" function, but I can't use it like this in PyGNOME)
I think my problem may be half not having C-GNOME documentation, half not
understanding how C-GNOME is wrapped in Python, and half not knowing Python very
well.
:-)
Jeff
