8.1.7. Example

Here is a minimal example of using STDWIN in Python. It creates a window and draws the string ``Hello world'' in the top left corner of the window. The window will be correctly redrawn when covered and re-exposed. The program quits when the close icon or menu item is requested.

import stdwin
from stdwinevents import *


def main():

    mywin = stdwin.open('Hello')

    #

    while 1:

        (type, win, detail) = stdwin.getevent()

        if type == WE_DRAW:

            draw = win.begindrawing()

            draw.text((0, 0), 'Hello, world')

            del draw

        elif type == WE_CLOSE:

            break


main()
