How to define a method in a class

[1885]

I copied this code from zetcode.com
What I want to do is call a method dec3hex2 that returns a string in the form of #000000
I have the dec to hex code completed but I get the following errors:
python draw_tk_example.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "draw_tk_example.py", line 33, in <module>
main()
File "draw_tk_example.py", line 28, in main
ex = GraphWin()
File "draw_tk_example.py", line 7, in __init__
self.initUI()
File "draw_tk_example.py", line 20, in initUI
hexc = dec3hex2(self,10)
NameError: name 'dec3hex2' is not defined

How do I call a method from the mothod initUI(self): ?

Thank You!

from tkinter import Tk, Canvas, Frame, BOTH

class GraphWin(Frame):
	def __init__(self):
		super().__init__()   
		self.initUI()
		
	def dec3hex2(self,d):
			#code to convert dec to hex
			self.d = d
			hexs = str(self.d)
			return hexs 
		
	def initUI(self): 
		self.master.title("Colors")        
		self.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)
		canvas = Canvas(self)
		#call to dec3hex2
		hexc = dec3hex2(self,10)
		canvas.create_rectangle(30, 10, 120, 80, outline="#fb0", fill="#fb0")
		canvas.create_rectangle(150, 10, 240, 80, outline="#f50", fill="#f50")
		canvas.create_rectangle(270, 10, 370, 80, outline="#05f", fill="#05f")            
		canvas.pack(fill=BOTH, expand=1)

def main():
	root = Tk()
	ex = GraphWin()
	root.geometry("400x100+300+300")
	root.mainloop()  

if __name__ == '__main__':
	main()

I think it needs to be called like this: self.dec3hex2(10)

You define the method with self parameter but when you call it, you don't pass it. Only the positional/keyword arguments.

class MyClass:
    def method_1(self):
        print('One')
  
    def method_2(self, number):
        doubled = number * 2
        print('Doubled:' , doubled)
        return doubled

cl = MyClass()
cl.method_1()
doubled = cl.method_2(10)
