wxPython - StaticLine() constructor in wx.StaticLine

In this article we are going to learn about StaticLine() constructor associated with wx.StaticLine class of wxPython. A static line is just a line which may be used in a dialog to separate the groups of controls. The line may be only vertical or horizontal. Moreover, not all ports (notably not wxGTK) support specifying the transversal direction of the line (e.g. height for a horizontal line) so for maximal portability you should specify it as DefaultCoord.

Syntax: wx.StaticLine.StaticLine(parent, id=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=LI_HORIZONTAL, name=StaticLineNameStr) Parameters

Parameter	Input Type	Description
parent	wx.Window	Parent window. Must not be None.
id	wx.WindowID	Window identifier. The value wx.ID_ANY indicates a default value.
pos	wx.Point	Window position. If wx.DefaultPosition is specified then a default position is chosen.
size	wx.Size	Size. Note that either the height or the width (depending on whether the line is horizontal or vertical) is ignored.
style	long	Window style (either wx.LI_HORIZONTAL or wx.LI_VERTICAL).
name	string	Window Name

Code Example: 

import wx


class FrameUI(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, title):
        super(FrameUI, self).__init__(parent, title = title, size =(300, 200))

        # function for in-frame components
        self.InitUI()

    def InitUI(self):
        # parent panel for radio box
        pnl = wx.Panel(self)

        # list of choices
        hlist = ['Item One', 'Item Two']
        vlist =['Item One', 'Item Two']

        # create vertical line from point (50, 0) to (50, 250)
        self.sl = wx.StaticLine(pnl, 2,  pos =(50, 0), size = (1, 250), 
                                              style = wx.LI_VERTICAL)

        # set frame in centre
        self.Centre()
        # set size of frame
        self.SetSize((400, 250))
        # show output frame
        self.Show(True)



# wx App instance
ex = wx.App()
# Example instance
FrameUI(None, 'RadioButton and RadioBox')
ex.MainLoop()

Output Window:
