AddRadioTool(self, toolId, label= "", bitmap1=wx.NullBitmap, bitmap2=wx.NullBitmap, shortHelp="", longHelp="")

Adds a new radio tool to the toolbar.

Consecutive radio tools form a radio group such that exactly one button in the group is pressed at any moment, in other words whenever a button in the group is pressed the previously pressed button is automatically released.

You should avoid having the radio groups of only one element as it would be impossible for the user to use such button.

By default, the first button in the radio group is initially pressed, the others are not.

  • bitmap1 – the primary tool bitmap, an instance of wx.Bitmap;

  • bitmap2 – the bitmap used when the tool is disabled. If it is equal to NullBitmap, the disabled bitmap is automatically generated by greing out the normal one;
