Hi !
I've been looking all over StackExchange and some other forums for an answer to my question but I couldn't find anything relevant, so here I am, posting my question.
What I'm trying to do is to draw lines that are on the same layer as other Tkinter widgets. I'm currently coding an interface where certain widgets need to visually connect to each other (NodeBox style or Quartz Composer style).
Shows the connectors (noodles) present in Quartz Composer. (I'm not necessarily looking for curved lines, straight is more than enough.)
The problem is that it is too complicated to use the canvas widget (I will be using a lot of widgets so embedding all of them into the canvas is not really an option I think). I'm looking for something similar to the separator widget but allowing for diagonal lines and defined by coordinates. I'm thinking of creating a custom widget that does this but I'm not sure where to start. An other solution may be to have a transparent canvas right over the non-canvas widgets but that would complicate the mouse click events a lot. I don't know what option would be the best.
Any thoughts on how I could accomplish drawing lines out of canvas widget? (Or on how I can create a custom widget that does this?)
Your only reasonable choice for drawing lines is the canvas. Without the canvas you can simulate horizontal or vertical lines using a separator and place, but you can't do diagonal lines.
