wxPython – Set window in center of screen

In this article we are going to learn that, how can we show window in the center of the screen. We can do this by using a Centre() function in wx.Frame module. 

Syntax:

wx.Frame.Centre(self, direction = wx.BOTH)

Parameters:

Parameter	Input Type	Description
direction	int	The parameter may be wx.HORIZONTAL, wx.VERTICAL or wx.BOTH.

Example #1:

Python3

# import wxPython
import wx

class Example(wx.Frame):

    def __init__(self, parent, title):

        super(Example, self).__init__(parent, title = title,
                                           size =(300, 200))

        # Centre frame using Centre() function
        self.Centre()

def main():

    app = wx.App()
    ex = Example(None, title ='Centering')
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Output:

Example #2:

Python3

# import wxPython
import wx

class Example(wx.Frame):

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

        # Centre frame using Centre() function
        self.Centre(direction = wx.VERTICAL)


def main():

    app = wx.App()
    ex = Example(None, title ='Centering')
    ex.Show()
    app.MainLoop()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
