Here is a framework for a three panel wxpython (phoenix) application. With
proper sizing. The aspect ratio of 1.779 to 1 is supposed to be the proper ratio
for visually correct window size.
All initial individual panel widths and heights are based on the size of the main wx.Frame.
If you modify this size, all panels should follow suit.
The bottom frame contains two widgets, so a vertical sizer is used to keep them in perspective.
The TextCtrl on the right panel has it's own sizer, and uses the proportion flag, and expand flag.
This sizer is needed or the TextCtrl will not expand properly.
The bottom panel also needs a vertical sizer to keep the button on the bottom (two widgets in this pane).
The AUI Manager is used, which automatically gives you docking panels and maintains pane resizing automatically.
*** Update Feb 11, 2020 ***
I had a need to use this framework, and when testing noted that some of the size code was depreciated.
wxpython now requires all sizes be integers.
Changes are in line 44 to 70 (cast to integer)
so here's corrected code:
