Adding an image to a tkinter window - djwilson0495 - Aug-05-2020 Hi I'm trying to add an image to a tkinter window using the following code from tkinter import * # gives access to tkinter GUI library def hello(): name = textbox1.get() # gets name from textbox1 print = "Hello " + name # creates Hello name string textbox2["text"] = print # prints that string in textbox2 window = Tk() # opens tkinter window window.title("Names") # sets title of the window as names window.geometry("1000x1000") # dimentions window.wm_iconbitmap("Icon.ico") # changes tkinter window icon window.configure(background = "black") # sets window background to green logo = PhotoImage(file = "logo.gif") # displays logo.gif in a label widget logoimage = Label(image = logo) # this can't be changed while the program is running logoimage.place(x = 50, y = 20, width = 200, height = 120) # position and dimentions textbox1 = Entry(text = "") # creates textbox1 where data is entered textbox1.place(x = 145, y = 200, width = 125, height = 25) # position and dimentions textbox1["bg"] = "white" # white background textbox1["fg"] = "black" # black font label1 = Label(text = "Enter a name") # creates label with this text label1.place(x = 20, y = 200, width = 125, height = 25) # position and dimentions label1["bg"] = "red" # red background label1["fg"] = "blue" # blue font textbox2 = Message(text = print) # creates textbox1 displaying the variable print textbox2.place(x = 145, y = 250, width = 125, height = 25) # position and dimentions textbox2["bg"] = "white" # white background textbox2["fg"] = "black" # black font button1 = Button(text = "Press me", command = hello) # creates button which runs the hello sub-program button1.place(x = 20, y = 250, width = 125, height = 25) # position and dimentions button1["bg"] = "blue" # blue background button1["fg"] = "red" # red font window.mainloop() # keeps program runningbut I get the following error saying that there is no such file or directory, however the image is saved in the same place as the program. Can anyone help?
RE: Adding an image to a tkinter window - deanhystad - Aug-05-2020 Good job on the topic. Next time post GUI questions to the GUI part of this forum. Also next time create a shorter example with the fewest number of external dependencies possible. People are more likely to offer help if you make it easy for them. This is all that's required to demonstrate your problem. from tkinter import * window = Tk() logo = PhotoImage(file = "image.gif")I took a .png file I had and converted to .gif and I get the same error you do. Then I changed the code to use the .png file and it works. Guess this is another incompatible file format problem. Interesting since effbot says .gif is a compatible format. Hmmmm. If you want to work with images I think you should take a look at the Python Imaging Library (PIL). If you really want to do GUI programming I think you should look into something newer and better than Tk. Anything is newer and better than Tk.
