How do you draw simple shapes in Pyglet?

Question

I'm trying to make a Towers of Hanoi program with Pyglet, but I'm having trouble drawing rectangles. Here is my code:

import pyglet

width, height = 500, 500
window = pyglet.window.Window(width, height)

rectR = pyglet.image.SolidColorImagePattern(color=(255, 0, 0, 1))
rectG = pyglet.image.SolidColorImagePattern(color=(0, 255, 0, 1))
rectB = pyglet.image.SolidColorImagePattern(color=(0, 0, 255, 1))
rectW = pyglet.image.SolidColorImagePattern(color=(255, 255, 255, 1))

column_img = rectW.create_image(20, 40)
disk7_img = rectR.create_image(140, 20)
disk5_img = rectG.create_image(100, 20)
disk3_img = rectB.create_image(60, 20)

def center_images(images):
    for image in images:
        image.anchor_x = image.width/2
        image.anchor_y = image.height/2
center_images([column_img, disk7_img, disk5_img, disk3_img])

class Sprite:
    def __init__(self, img, x=0, y=0):
        self.img, self.x, self.y = img, x, y

class Column(Sprite):
    def __init__(self, x, y, disk_codes):
        super(Column, self).__init__(column_img, x=x, y=y)
        disks = []
        for disk_code in disk_codes:
            disks.append(Disk(disk_code))
        self.disks = sorted(disks, key= lambda disk: disk.img.width)
        top = 0
        for i, disk in enumerate(self.disks):
            self.disks[i].x = self.x
            self.disks[i].y = self.y - self.img.height/2 + top + disk.img.height/2
            top += disk.img.height

    def draw(self):
        self.img.blit(self.x, self.y)
        for disk in self.disks:
            disk.img.blit(disk.x, disk.y)

class Disk(Sprite):
    def __init__(self, code):
        if code == 'R':
            super(Disk, self).__init__(disk7_img)
        elif code == 'G':
            super(Disk, self).__init__(disk5_img)
        elif code == 'B':
            super(Disk, self).__init__(disk3_img)
        else:
            raise ValueError('Invalid disk code')

column = Column(100, 100, ['R', 'G', 'B'])

@window.event
def on_draw():
    window.clear()
    column.draw()   

pyglet.app.run()

This isn't the full program, just the part that will draw the sprites for the columns and disks. For now, it's completely static. However, whenever I try to run it, I get an error at the 'blit' function that's supposed to draw the rectangles. Here is the error:

I don't know what to try. I got started with Pyglet yesterday so I'm very new. Please forgive me if the answer is obvious. Thanks!

Answer 1

the anchor of the image has to be integral. You have to use the floor division operator ( // ) rather than the division operator ( / ) when you compute anchor_x respectively anchor_y :
(See Binary arithmetic operations )

def center_images(images):
    for image in images:
        image.anchor_x = image.width // 2
        image.anchor_y = image.height // 2
center_images([column_img, disk7_img, disk5_img, disk3_img])

Answer 2

I know the question isn't that old, but pyglet has since this question got posted added something called pyglet.shapes which allows for creating Rectangle(x, y, w, h, color) pretty easily. A complete example would be:

import pyglet
from pyglet import shapes

window = pyglet.window.Window(500, 500)
batch = pyglet.graphics.Batch()

red_sequare = shapes.Rectangle(150, 240, 200, 20, color=(255, 55, 55), batch=batch)
green_sequare = shapes.Rectangle(175, 220, 150, 20, color=(55, 255, 55), batch=batch)
blue_sequare = shapes.Rectangle(200, 200, 100, 20, color=(55, 55, 255), batch=batch)

@window.event
def on_draw():
    window.clear()
    batch.draw()

pyglet.app.run()

Which would produce:
