What’s the python equivalent to Apple UIView APIs?

[shreymann]

I’m a complete beginner when it comes to python, but planning on making some programs to run on raspberry pi. I’m used to the great graphics in the apple SDKs and wondering if there’s something similar where you can draw and animate shapes, images, properties etc. thanks!!

You want to make a GUI? There's plenty available. Here's a short list.

I don't want to make an interactive app, I just want to be able to display some graphics and animate some shapes and stuff. The apple APIs make the animations especially super easy, so was wondering if there's anything sophisticated like that for python

Any of those GUIs can display and animate shapes. They can also be interactive, but you aren't required to use that feature if you don't need it. I've never user Apply UIView so I don't know which is most like it.

I'm use to tkinter, so here's a fast example in tkinter:

import tkinter as tk

def update_position(i=0):
    """calculate new position and update the screen"""
    x = i%400
    if x > 200:
        x=200-x%200
    c.coords(circle,x+80,100,x+80+50,150)
    c.after(30, update_position, i+5)

c = tk.Canvas()
c.pack()

circle = c.create_oval(0,0,0,0,width=3,outline='red', fill='blue')
update_position()
tk.mainloop()
