PyGTK image drag

This code was originally taken from a StackOverflow question here.

I'd like to also add image resize.

import gtk
class DragImage(gtk.Image):
def __init__(self,image,layout):
gtk.Image.__init__(self)
self.drag = False
self.drag_x = 0
self.drag_y = 0
self.layout = layout
self.x = 0
self.y = 0
self.set_from_file(image)
self.event_box = gtk.EventBox()
self.event_box.set_visible_window(False)
self.event_box.add(self)
self.event_box.add_events(gtk.gdk.POINTER_MOTION_MASK | gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS_MASK | gtk.gdk.BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK)
self.event_box.connect("button-press-event", self.click)
self.event_box.connect("button-release-event", self.release)
self.event_box.connect("motion-notify-event", self.mousemove)
self.layout.put( self.event_box, 0, 0 )
def click(self, widget, event):
self.drag = True
self.drag_x = event.x
self.drag_y = event.y
print(self.drag_x, self.drag_y)
def release(self, widget, event):
self.drag = False
def mousemove(self,widget,event):
if self.drag:
self.layout.move(self.event_box,self.x+int(event.x-self.drag_x),self.y+int(event.y-self.drag_y))
self.x, self.y = self.layout.child_get(self.event_box,'x','y')
class move_test(object):
def __init__(self):
window = gtk.Window()
layout = gtk.Layout()
img1 = DragImage('image1.jpg',layout)
img2 = DragImage('image2.jpg',layout)
window.add(layout)
window.show_all()
move_test()
gtk.main()
