Solution 1 – Walk-through of adding the Mirror Image wxPython function

In a follow-up to the last blog post (Exercise 1) I now walk through the solution. In this episode we add a menu item to our wxPython GUI which mirrors the image on the x-axis.

In the next 4 episodes we add an HTML-based About box and the week after we’ll finish with a Splash screen. These will be the 2nd and 3rd exercises for this series.

Previously we’ve covered memory-leaks, Images and StaticBitmaps, StatusBars and FileDialogs in this wxPython tutorial. This series has everything a new wxPython programmer needs to learn the basics of writing their own wx application.

This series is a part of Club ShowMeDo for subscribers, a part of our 231 (mostly free!) screencasts that help you to learn Python. Subscribers get access to 6+ hours of Python tutorials, exercises and walk-throughs with new episodes every week.
