some advice about pictures in graphics

Hi list!

I've recently started pondering a new project, but before I start I 
wanted to go on a bit of a learning curve on something I've never done 
before.

I decided to use the card game Solitaire as my learning curve.

I have downloaded a freely available zip archive of pictures of playing 
cards, (all png's).

In my head, I know what I would like is thus:

at the top, four rectangular black spaces evenly distributed.

Then a blank row, as it were.

Then to the left would be the deck, which would be a picture of the back 
of the card. To the right woud be the scrap pile.

Below this would be a row of 7 piles of cards.

I was thinking perhaps of using the grid sizer object for this, and 
using that to create a table that is 7 10 columns and 5 rows, then 
positioning the cards upon this.

Does grid sizer show lines though? I would not want that.

Is there a way to make sure, through wx python, all my images are the 
same size?

Further, if I wanted to shhow where the user is focused, is there a way 
to put a dot on a picture?

How could I make black rectangles that could later be replaced with card 
images?

Finally, what would be the recommended way to show that a card has been 
selected, is there a way in wx python to change the colour of the image? 
Should I instead change the background?


This is one area I have very little experience in, as my GUI's are 
usually rather simplistic lists and text boxes, but this will hopefully 
contribute towards a project that is aimed at being an accessible card 
game for blind users, but instead of just slapping a blank screen in 
front of the user, I'd instead like to make it at least visually usable.

thank you for any questions you can answer in advance, or any resources 
you can point me to.

Nathan
