Gif with PhotoImage - Friend - Jul-23-2019
Hi all,
1. Question:
I am learning Python in Python2 book (didn't find a better python3 book)...in a long example (which i reduced to fow lines), i has been tried to import a gif picture using the class PhotoImage... but i always get the following error :
from tkinter import * root = Tk() path = 'C:\\Users\\Desktop\\Mix\\Big pics\\wolf.gif' bild = PhotoImage(file=path) root.mainloop()
Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\mlakhili\Desktop\Python\Licht.pyw", line 4, in <module>
bild = PhotoImage(file=path)
File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 3371, in __init__
Image.__init__(self, 'photo', name, cnf, master, **kw)
File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 3325, in __init__
self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options)
TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file "C:\Users\mlakhili\Desktop\Mix\Big pics\wolf.gif"---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Question:
this works in Python2. How do i do it in Python3 ?
import tkFileDialog path = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename()

This should work. It's important to have a reference to the PhotoImage object,
otherwise it's garbage collected and will not displayed. With PIL you can open
all kind of bitmaps.
To install PIL on Python 3:
pip install pillow
from tkinter import Tk, Button, Label
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename
from PIL import Image
from PIL.ImageTk import PhotoImage
class App:
def __init__(self):
self.root = Tk()
self.root.title('PhotoImage')
self.image = None
self.setup_gui()
def setup_gui(self):
root = self.root
self.label = Label(root)
self.label.pack()
Button(root, text='Open', command=self.open_pic).pack()
Button(root, text='Exit', command=self.root.destroy).pack()
def open_pic(self):
file = askopenfilename()
if not file:
return
img = Image.open(file).resize((480, 320))
self.image = PhotoImage(img)
# keeping image as reference, otherwise
# it's garbage collected
self.label['image'] = self.image
# assign the image to the label
def start(self):
self.root.mainloop()
app = App()
app.start()

I tried everything, watched hundred of Videos to install pip pillow or whatever black magic...it says successfully installed...
and still i get errors like :
Error:No module named 'PIL'RE: Gif with PhotoImage - Friend - Jul-23-2019
Managed to install it.
and everything is working. Thanks a lot DeaD_EyE :)
