I would like to see the following: 1. A COM interface (I could do it from a REAL version of Python, rather than one from 1999) 2. A way to use a current version of Python. Say 2.2.1 I understand (from the folks up there) that there is no one there who knows how to do this. I humbly offer my services.

Oh, am I dumb! Why not just export the jpg and then use ImageTk.PhotoImage to get it back in?

Nice idea. However, Poser (at least, as far as I know) will not save gifs directly. wxPython will handle jpgs, which it will save, but not Tk.

The up-and-coming Montressor's Poser Aid actully has several displays like this - and you can cut/copy/paste. Anyone interested in being an Alpha (naw, it isn't even Beta yet) tester?

Here is a sample, copied from the list:

--------------- start of sample --------------------

#--- Figure:Figure 1

#---Actor Body

poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('Scale').SetValue('1.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('xScale').SetValue('1.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('yScale').SetValue('1.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('zScale').SetValue('1.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('yRotate').SetValue('-0.0778781995177')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('xRotate').SetValue('-0.00994206033647')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('zRotate').SetValue('0.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('xTran').SetValue('0.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('yTran').SetValue('0.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Body').Parameter('zTran').SetValue('0.0')

#---Actor Hip

poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('Taper').SetValue('0.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('Scale').SetValue('1.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('xScale').SetValue('1.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('yScale').SetValue('1.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('zScale').SetValue('1.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('Twist').SetValue('0.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('Side-Side').SetValue('0.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('Bend').SetValue('0.0')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('xTran').SetValue('-3.0254798844e-007')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('yTran').SetValue('-0.00356700993143')
poser.scene.Figure('Figure 1').Actor('Hip').Parameter('zTran').SetValue('0.00275287008844')

First construct at label like this:

label = Label(root,bitmap=, ...other options ...)

use the place geometry manager to put it inside your button wherever you want it.

If you need more code, let me know...

OK, I have it. So no one else has to go crazy, here it is.

First, you have to create a dialog of some kind. For instance (assuming your Tk root is called 'root'):

Pmw.initialise(root=root)
Pmw.aboutversion('1.0')
Pmw.aboutcopyright('Copyright Montressor 2002.nAll rights reservered')
Pmw.aboutcontact('Yell at me')
app.aboutdialog = Pmw.AboutDialog(root,applicationname="Montressor's Poser Aid")
app.aboutdialog.withdraw()

When you want to display this puppy, you have to do this:

app.aboutdialog.show()
app.aboutdialog.focus_set()

Hope this helps someone
