Hey i am new to python and i am trying to update my GUI every 3 seconds 4 times. I have tried time.sleep() but it doesnt work. Any ideas?
for i in range(4):
#creates 10 circles randomly on the canvas
for _ in range(10):
circle1= Circle(canvas, random.randint(1,750), random.uniform(1,450), "red")
time.sleep(3)
Jump to PostTkinter does not have a Circle class; you use create_oval with circle dimensions. Note that you call the function once and have it call itself recursively for as many times as you want.
try: import Tkinter as tk except: import tkinter as tk class TestAfter(): def __init__(self): …
GUI's have their own "sleep" type methods that should be used. However each GUI uses a different function name so it depends on the GUI toolkit you are using.
I have been using tkinter and messing around with the after() but am having difficulties

try:
import Tkinter as tk
except:
import tkinter as tk
class TestAfter():
def __init__(self):
self.root=tk.Tk()
self.ctr = 3
self.canvas = tk.Canvas(self.root, width=500, height=500)
self.canvas.grid()
self.root.after(750, self.update)
self.root.mainloop()
def update(self):
colors = ["black", "red", "green", "blue"]
if self.ctr > 0:
start = 50*self.ctr ## use same values for x & y
end = start+50
self.canvas.create_oval(start, start, end, end,
fill=colors[self.ctr], width=2)
self.ctr -= 1
self.root.after(750, self.update)
TA=TestAfter()
That helps a lot! Thank you!
