Python Forum

Hi,

I am sure this is something super easy and I am just a newb, but this is my first GUI and I can't even get the logo to appear. Here is my code and my file is in the same directory with my code.

from tkinter import *


root = Tk()

photo = PhotoImage(file='dndlogo.jpg')
logo = Label(root, image=photo)
logo.pack()






root.mainloop()

This is the error I am getting.

"C:\Users\Delusional Customer\venv\GM Screen\Scripts\python.exe" "C:/Users/Delusional Customer/PycharmProjects/DM Screen/MainScreen.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file "dndlogo.jpg"

Process finished with exit code 1


Also I was watching a tutorial on youtube and it still isn't working.

Thanks in advance.

if using python 3, use:

from PIL import ImageTk, Image
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open('dndlogo.jpg'))
logo = Label(root, image=photo)

I think this will work with python 2 as well

You may have to install pillow

pip install pillow

That worked out perfect, I had tried that previously and must have had a typo.

Thanks.
