I am new in python and i want to create a script in python which can let me draw or paint in my desktop or on any window like web browser etc.....
Can anybody tell me which library in python can i use to achieve something this.
As i want to draw directly on the desktop screen and not in any canvas or particular (seperate window for drawing)
From tkinter.colorchooser or something else.
The example image is shown below that's how i want.
how can i get a widget like this with only color option and default pen to draw.
Use python in-built library Tkinter.
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.colorchooser import askcolor
class Paint(object):
DEFAULT_PEN_SIZE = 5.0
DEFAULT_COLOR = 'black'
def __init__(self):
self.root = Tk()
self.pen_button = Button(self.root, text='pen', command=self.use_pen)
self.pen_button.grid(row=0, column=0)
self.brush_button = Button(self.root, text='brush', command=self.use_brush)
self.brush_button.grid(row=0, column=1)
self.color_button = Button(self.root, text='color', command=self.choose_color)
self.color_button.grid(row=0, column=2)
self.eraser_button = Button(self.root, text='eraser', command=self.use_eraser)
self.eraser_button.grid(row=0, column=3)
self.choose_size_button = Scale(self.root, from_=1, to=10, orient=HORIZONTAL)
self.choose_size_button.grid(row=0, column=4)
self.c = Canvas(self.root, bg='white', width=600, height=600)
self.c.grid(row=1, columnspan=5)
self.setup()
self.root.mainloop()
def setup(self):
self.old_x = None
self.old_y = None
self.line_width = self.choose_size_button.get()
self.color = self.DEFAULT_COLOR
self.eraser_on = False
self.active_button = self.pen_button
self.c.bind('<B1-Motion>', self.paint)
self.c.bind('<ButtonRelease-1>', self.reset)
def use_pen(self):
self.activate_button(self.pen_button)
def use_brush(self):
self.activate_button(self.brush_button)
def choose_color(self):
self.eraser_on = False
self.color = askcolor(color=self.color)[1]
def use_eraser(self):
self.activate_button(self.eraser_button, eraser_mode=True)
def activate_button(self, some_button, eraser_mode=False):
self.active_button.config(relief=RAISED)
some_button.config(relief=SUNKEN)
self.active_button = some_button
self.eraser_on = eraser_mode
def paint(self, event):
self.line_width = self.choose_size_button.get()
paint_color = 'white' if self.eraser_on else self.color
if self.old_x and self.old_y:
self.c.create_line(self.old_x, self.old_y, event.x, event.y,
width=self.line_width, fill=paint_color,
capstyle=ROUND, smooth=TRUE, splinesteps=36)
self.old_x = event.x
self.old_y = event.y
def reset(self, event):
self.old_x, self.old_y = None, None
if __name__ == '__main__':
Paint()
