I am having problem with having a GUI interface to be implemented via a second file which just contains the file to read, plots made and some new functions to be evaluated based on that.
I am trying to create a GUI application using Tkinter. The way I am doing is as follows. I have a background script (say
Background.py) which has two functions. Function X loads a data file, does some calculations and outputs a graph. The way I want to trigger this is via a GUI script in another file (
GUI.py) which opens a panel with a button and when I click the button the function X in file
Background.py should be evaluated and a plot should be shown. Once I check the plot, I can hit another button to close the plot and terminate the function X. Now I can choose to click another button to trigger the function Y in the file
Background.py. These button should allow me to input three values, which should be the input to the function Y in the file
Background.py. Once I hit this button, it should trigger the function Y and do what it it asks it to do. Now at the end, after that I can hit the button to close the gui.
How can I do this?. A general rough idea will be helpful.
I have put an example as much as I can:( at least the skeleton of the code)
I have a background file say (
Background.py) and gui file ( say
GUI.py)
**Background.py**
import numpy
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas
def progX():
df = pd.read (myfile)
plt.boxplot(df['col'])
plt.show()
def progY(y1, y2,y3):
**GUI.py**
import Background as bg
from tkinter import *
from tkinter.ttk import *
class GUI ():
def create widgets(self):
def create_panel2(self):
panel1 = ...
btn1 = Button(panel1, text="yyyyy", command=bg.progA)
btn1.pack()
def create_panel2(self):
panel2 = ...
btn2 = Button(panel1, text="yyyyy", command=bg.progB)
btn2.pack()
All_Entries = []
window = Tk()
D=GUI(window)
window.mainloop()
runprogram1 = bg.progX()
runprogram2 = bg.probY(x, y, z)
My question is now, does the above makes sense? How can I call the background functions from the GUI? The statements runprogram1 & runprogram2 are definitely not correct, How can I implement that. Also how will I ensure that I call the proram Y in Background once I have close the output from the program X?
I guess the questions makes sense. I am new to GUI and having hard time working this out, which I need to. any help will be very much appreciated.
What I have tried:
I have tried to put the skeleton to the code.. But nothing working as of yet.
